Thanks Deb,

<div>There is a DC police car parked @ Lincoln Park now and a National Park Service vehicle just drove by Lincoln Park going east on East Capitol so your message made a difference. </div>

<div>To Lincoln Park neighbors,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is a copy of an email I just sent to Charles Allen, Steve Holtzmann, and the two ANC reps immediately north of the park (Amber Gove and Ruth Anne Hudson) where I live. It stems from a very tiny thing, which I am surprised it has impacted me so much,
but I finally thought it was worth action. You know --the "If you see something, say something" approach.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you share similar concerns, please join me in saying something.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>

<div>
<div>Dear Capitol HIll representatives,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First off, thank you for your hard work on residents' behalf. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This message expresses concern for the security of Lincoln Park, East Capitol St, and surrounding neighborhoods over the next several days.
<br>
</div>
<div>I am not generally one to be afraid in my surroundings, but I want to call to your attention a strange experience on Monday. It has made me wonder how much security attention is being given to areas East of the Capitol. It is SO easy to come off of 295
and head west, through the park, and I am seeing no evident protections here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My strange encounter: I was taking my regular walk from C ST NE to Lincoln Park and then on to East Capitol on Monday. All was lovely until my return through the park. I approached the Lincoln statue from 11th street and saw a man standing, looking
at it. Fair enough, but then as I got closer and began to head toward Tennessee, I noticed that he had a megaphone. I know this may seem small, but it made me ask--who would be carrying a megaphone in the park--and why? The person also had a suspicious air.
I kept walking--a little faster--as I did not want to stare, take a photo, or otherwise draw attention to myself. As I was walking along the 100-block of Tennessee I then encountered another person in dark and ragged clothing who was walking unhurriedly toward
the park. Were they connected? Were they planning something? That was what I felt.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I was alone (it was maybe 3:00 in the afternoon, broad daylight), it was the first time I have felt afraid in my neighborhood. I wish I had called someone right away, but it took a while to sink in and consider that this small thing might be connected
to the larger picture. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The question this encounter prompted was "What is being planned by alt-right factions to approach the Capitol and city from the East--and what protections are being taken?" It seems like an awfully vulnerable flank to me. I hope my suspicions of both
figures are unfounded, but they were enough to prompt the question.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ask that you and fellow respresentatives reach out to various parties working on security protocols and urge for serious protection on the city's the East flank. I also ask that you reach out to your constituencies--I think many of us have hightened
antennae right now--to provide any guidance and alerts so we may protect ourselves.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Deborah Hurtt</div>
