Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: The needs of my community are many. I must add that the four things any community needs in order to survive and thrive are the following: a hospital to heal the people, schools to educate the people, banks to finance the people, and grocery stores to feed the people. Again, our needs are many. However, at this time we are very concerned with Redistricting as we hope that we will not be broken apart and that the progress we have made so far will not be destroyed. If we can stay together, the 4 things that we need may just possibly be in our future.
