Communicating with Public Officials

Improving the ability of all the residents of Estero to communicate with the public officials who serve us is essential to our ability to get things done for the community. Nick Batos and the Brooks Concerned Citizens have developed a website for use by all Estero residential communities and residents that will make it very easy for each of us understand the issue in question and to express our point of view by email to the governmental decision-makers on a timely basis.
 
For each decision the website contains some background information, a sample letter that can be amended by the sender and with a simple click of a button will send personalized emails to each of the decision-makers. The system also will provide us feedback about how many emails have been sent by residents of each Estero residential community.
 

Please take a few minutes to register on the site http://www.brooksconcernedcitizens.com/ and review its present contents. If your community is not listed, you can choose "other Estero community". If you want to suggest other issues or provide additional content follow the directions provided below.
 
Secondly, please complete a brief survey designed to improve the effectiveness of the site by clicking on the “Survey” button on the lower left hand side of the “Current Issues” page.
 
Finally, send your suggestions for improving the site by clicking on the “Respond to BCC” button also located toward the bottom of the list on the left hand side of the “Current Issues” page.
 
After you have completed your work on the site, please ask the residents of your community to follow your lead and register as well so that we can generate a large number of emails on our first issue that, no doubt, will be coming up soon.
 
I would like to thank the Brooks Concerned Citizens for taking the lead on this important project and for opening it up for use by all Estero residents.
 
Thank you for taking the time to help improve the site and to be prepared to use it on issues that will impact our quality of life here in Estero.
