Media works this way, local (The Villages), regional (the county you live in) state (the state you live in), national (USA)
Here is a suggestion, I know many of you are technology oriented, make a VLOG or a video of what you feel is happening to your community. I see wonderful points here from all perspectives. Write it out first, pro/con, make it into your own 2 minute (try to keep it 90 second) video. We are now in a graphic society, people respond not to print any more but pictures and videos. Make a YouTube (start with a Google gmail first) page and post it. Make sure your slant is the aging community, those who were here in The Villages first, believed, are used to 20 years of utilizing, do not object to change but need to be notified in an appropriate manner.
Here is an example. Two years ago a physician took a 10 minute personal phone call while removing a growth from my skull from his car repairman. He let me leave the hospital and walk through the lobby with blood dripping down the side of my face. I did exactly as I stated above, posted it to YouTube, sent the link to local and national news and the med board in MA. I didn't condemn, I simply asked 10 why/how questions, those that cannot be answered with a factual response. I understand he is now a surgeon in an undisclosed location no longer on Cape Cod. The vlog got 500,000 views before I took it down.
Try it, you will get more response if you think it out first and present the issues.
