I was hoping we wouldn't have to pressure the DC Council again, but they seem
intent on proving themselves even bigger idiots than the clowns at MLB, starting
with the dishonest and devious Bad Selig.
Here is the address for the DC Council. Please write to them and let them know
that you will happily spend money in DC if the new ballpark is approved, that
contraction is coming up, and that a special taxing district around the ballpark
could help bring in some suburban revenues, but that they need to keep their
agreement and pass the stadium bill so that Washington can continue to enjoy --
and make money from -- baseball. Some of them seem openly hostile to the very
idea of baseball itself and seem actively to want the team to leave.
The email address for the Council is dccouncilmembers@...
Also, if you know how to contact the potential ownership groups, please ask them
to put money into the ballpark, either directly or by buying DC bonds.
You can contact the Malek group at www.baseballindc.com and use the "Contact Us"
page.
