I am "urgently" and respectfully, ... personally, ... asking for your presence ... at Press Conference 11am at Judiciary Square in "Concerned Citizens in Support for Washington Informer Newspaper"

 

SUBJECT MATTER is:

 

 

 

*This Concerned Citizens Community Effort is to Show Support

for Washington Informer Newspaper

... and, is SEPARATE and APART

... from Denise Rolark-Barnes and the Washington Informer Newspaper.

 

 

PRESS CONFERENCE WILL TAKE PLACE:

MONDAY, AUGUST 20th, 11:00 am

Contract Appeals Board

Judiciary Square

441 – 4th Street, N.W.

 

IN FRONT of the BUILDING PROMPTLY AT 11:00 A.M.

 

(Serious Lack of Parking...you may want to consider, ... to take "Judiciary Square" Metro Subway there)

it takes you 50 feet from Press Conference location.

 

 

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE PRESS CONFERENCE:

The Appeal will be hand- delivered by Atty. Johnny Barnes.

 

Dear Friend,

 

YOU ARE ON OUR "SHORT LIST" of "go to" people, ... for such a cause as this.

 

I apologize for the short turnaround time and window we have to operate...but I and other concerned citizens are moving forth to ensure, we reach a modest goal of a minimum 100 people, a cross section of Washington DC, who know first hand, of the tremendous work and contribution of the WI Newspaper.

 

Your valued presence and support will ensure, we reach this modest goal. You are very important to the overall success of this effort to get the word out TO ATTEND ON MONDAY. Monday. Aug. 20th, 11 am.

 

Additionally, we ask if you could kindly communicate to a minimum of 5 others who directly know, first-hand, ...of the tremendous impact that the Washington Informer has meant to our great city for 47 years...simply stated a half century!!

 

The attached News Article “link” at the beginning… outlines the apparent misinterpretation that ... lead to Washington Informer not given a proper or fair evaluation, to compete to "Publish the Upcoming Unclaimed Property Supplement"

(Quite frankly, the "Evaluation Process" was so slanted in my estimation, I responded last week with attached OP ED)

 

IN CLOSING, I am asking by return contact from you...PLEASE INDICATE either "yea or nay", whether your

 

(a) schedule allows you to attend and FOR YOU TO SPEAK with 2 to 3 minutes (OR AS MUCH TIME AS YOU MAY NEED) ... of remarks on the Subject of: why the Washington Informer Should be Reconsidered, or

 

(b) what Washington Informer''s 47 year history (simply stated, "Half-Century") has meant to our great city, and equally important ..

.

In closing, again, due to the SHORT WINDOW OF TIME TO OPERATE, .... COUPLED with our need to try to reach the modest goal of close to 100 people as possible, to attend...in addition to yourself,

 

...could you be kind enough to "APPOINT YOURSELF A COMMITTEE OF ONE" and additionally, take personal responsibility, ... to contact a minimum of 5 people (or more)

 

... in your constituency to ask them to attend with you on Monday at 11am PRESS CONFERENCE in support of Washington Informer Newspaper

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE, for being present on Monday and assisting us ... as you are able... in this "Call to Action" in support to the Washington Informer Newspaper. Each one "Bring 5" effort.

 

(Please forward this message or comprise one of your own, ... to people you know, WHO KNOW FIRST HAND .,.. and highly respect the efforts of WI Newspaper for the past half-century, in our great city)

 

Sincerely,

Keith
