inclusivity of non-Lakeview New Orleanians

As a resident of 70117 (Ninth Ward, Marigny, Bywater, Holy Cross), the general tone of the ad as just focused on Lakeview made it seem that the rest of us do not "count", which adds insult to injury since many of us in 70117 do not have the wealth and resources that Lakeview residents have to draw upon to rebuild. We, too, are working very hard, with virtually no help from government sources, to bring our neighborhoods back. I am donating to the ad regardless, but respectfully request that a) those of us from outside Lakeview are given credit for funding the ad, and b) that the implication of the ad focuses on the need to protect all of New Orleans, not just Lakeview.

p.s.

I just reread the ad after writing the previous comment, and saw that New Orleanians in general were given credit for funding the ad- thanks. I agree with the other commenter that residents and friends should also be given credit for the funding, as well as those in "exile". Thanks for organizing this, and good luck!
