Build Lakewood: Neighbors Advocating for Neighbors
Friends: I feel the need to report that many of us are being misled. Last night I received a card from the Save Lakewood Hospital group. It contained many distortions that you’ve been exposed to before. I am not going to abuse you with those.
I do, however, feel I need to inform my neighbors that we are being misinformed about the identity of the grassroots organization Build Lakewood. You’ll be pleased to know that it has no affiliation with the Cleveland Clinic. The funding for the effort comes from the personal checking accounts of your neighbors. These individuals have dedicated themselves to assuring you and your loved ones continue to get the immediate medical attention that you deserve when you need it most.
I am proud to contribute to Build Lakewood. Even if you disagree with what the group is advocating, you too can be proud to call these dedicated individuals your neighbors. It is passionate city residents, irrespective of their position on the topic, that make our city great and place that we want to call home. This realization is one worthy of revisiting, as we all share the goal of helping our city to succeed.

No comment on the numerous lies and deceptions in the Build Lakewood mailing?

Now THATS hysterical!
You've already chased my primary care doctor out of Lakewood to Westlake, making it difficult for me to make appointments.
Yeah, thanks Build Lakewood.
If you REALLY cared about your neighbors having access to healthcare, you would DEMAND an explanation as to WHY the MetroHealth proposal was IGNORED!

Re: Build Lakewood: Neighbors Advocating for Neighbors
Please Jim, I would like you to list all the distortions you are speaking about. You don't want to abuse us? Please do! What about the LHA phone call last night. This indeed was politically motivated. I respect you for having a difference of opinion. However, Build Lakewood has yet to list these "distortions" along with the proof to back it up. We don't mind difference of opinion, I just wish one of you would post on the deck all of the documentation that backs up your post cards. Thank you.

Jim,
I also wondered why all of the Build People are always reading the deck since we have distorted views and we are mean. Just Saying.

Jim,
I will second Lori's call to air your objections to the SLH flyer you received. It appears the distortions of Build Lakewood's latest flyer were aired in Council chambers last moday night...let the people hear both sides!
thanks.

... THAT'S WHY.
Same reason SLH folks troll BL Fb page.
Politics and war often employ many of the strategies and tactics.
