Kirby Vining: Envision McMillan website "uploads" directory includes Fontaine & Company's Neighbors for McMillan strategy letters/Emails

See this 02-15-2014 message from Stronghold resident Kirby Vining:


His message below references the 02-14-2014 Bloomingdale Neighborhood blog post by Jeff Soule.


Hidden on the Envision McMillan web page, here:
      
   
is, among other things down in the NFM (Neighbors for McMillan)
uploads, all courtesy of Jamie Fontaine, a file called NFM sample letter/email
to personal network or neighbors. This is down in the section where all the
NFM stuff is, which is all stuff Jamie uploaded as tools for the Neighbors
for McMillan campaign.  
                                                                          
It seems that Jeff Soule deviated a bit from this script.  Wonder why.
Below, attached, is the sample letter that Jamie prepared, from the NFM
stuff on the web page. I haven’t seen anything like this out there, except
for Jeff’s letter, which resembles it in certain ways. 
  
Thank you! -Kirby

CORRUPTING our supposed democratic participation. What SLIME! UN ETHICAL and probably ILLEGAL.
Hey Commish, your plan, now that it has 6 years of revisions, is so good, why would YOU need to organize community support YOURSELVES??
Threaten us with the same fence the miserable excuse for a government has used our tax dollars to keep ERECT since 1986, that is totally RICH! The DC govt. would have provided this outdoor recreation area to the citizens of Friendship Heights or Chevy Chase immediately. They kept it fenced and didn't give a crap about any ones health ,or recreation, because it was East of 16th ST.
Get real,, if the flooding was in Kalorama basements, they would have mitigated it thirty years ago. Don't reward this mediocrity, institutional racism and economic class discrimination with your support or contrived, phony support , not for condos , and stores with a McPark. Take back what is yours, the DC govt. is an international disgrace, Gray, Thomas, Kwame Brown, Michael Brown, the criminals who brought you VMP. We want the fence down now!

From Jamie Fontaine of Fontaine and Company:

None of the materials linked to VMP’s website are confidential in nature, including the NFM documents. They were developed at the request of and in coordination with supporters in this community as a toolkit to help make their voices heard. They have been handed out at every NFM house party and were put online so that supporters could easily access the documents electronically.

Our work with VMP and the community is an extension of efforts that have been ongoing since 2007 - only now intensified as the project progresses through the entitlement process and residents have been more active in requesting help with their advocacy efforts. Many don’t have time to write blogs, organize rallies and attend every meeting, but care deeply about the opportunities that exist within VMP’s plan and want to be a part of creating something great.

We are, of course, eager to facilitate efforts to organize and vocalize support because at the end of the day, every resident deserves a voice on McMillan.

Actually, sample materials from community organizers are pretty standard; I'm sure Friends of Industrial Waste has provided you with plenty.
