VMP/DMPED/FONTIANE PLAN Dec. 2013
GOALS-
.Shift community dialogue and general perception to that of majority local support for VMP plans.
.Provide continuous political cover to local elected officials.
STRATEGY-
.Neutralize Opposition.
TACTICS
.Develop new massaging that bolsters and contrasts local support vs. special interest opposition, and use multi-layered communication to disseminate messaging.
.Create a community coalition, empowered with the tools to advocate on behalf of VMP plans and organize local support.
.Attend and monitor local community civic, ANC and opposition events.
KEY MESSAGES
.The community wants re-development of the McMillan site and supports VMP.
KEY MESSAGES
.Friends of McMillan has been hijacked by non-local, special interests and is spreading misinformation to further it's agenda.
.The site was never a park. VMP plans are the only viable solution to bring a world-class large park to the community.
We envision slightly different messaging priorities for certain stakeholder groups.
To Neighbors of McMillan (messaging to energize the coalition)
.The community needs a voice that truly represents its best interest.
.Our voice is currently being hijacked by people who live outside the community or outside SC with a special interest agenda that has nothing to do with specific benefits to this community.
The Deputy Mayor for Economic Development paid $30,000 invoice for Baltimore PR firm Fontaine in Dec. 2013. In Feb. 2014 when under oath in City Council oversight hearing Jeff Miller and Shiv Newaldous lied to Muriel Bowser and denied that bill was paid by the DC govt.
As did EYA VP Aakash Thakkar in testimony to Phil Mendelson in City Council oversight hearing, same lie.

Brookland landscape architect (outside special interest) Mary Pat Rowan testified that Fontaine was paid for by Jeff Miller a violation of our First Amendment rights to "petition the government for redress of grievances".

McMillan is an island of green in an ugly mass polluting traffic jam and thousands of new units crowded into the paving over of our home, damaging the democratic process.
Why was subversion of democratic rights necessary?
