Well, I guess I don't understand your logic. Why in the world would you care if reporters bother government officials?

As you've said, you have been ignored by government officials up to this point, what better way to get them to listen than to cause a hoard or reporters to rattle their cage?

Somebody once said "There is no such thing as bad publicity". If a bunch of reporters start asking president Bush about a prediction you've made for, say, Hollister, CA, (sorry Don), you'd become very well known and your agenda would be advanced as a result.

I would suggest this new approach....
