No, I'm not Sam Brooks or any other candidate for office. As I have mentioned before, because somebody on this forum threatened to "shatter" my jaw (http://www.dcpages.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6165&st=0entry10654) I wish to keep my identity secret. Who I am isn't the issue, anyway. What's important are the facts presented, in particular the quotations, contradictions and falsehoods that Jonathan Rees has presented on DC Pages and elsewhere. Rees claims to be a real candidate, but much of what he's written is just plain weird. It doesn't get much stranger than this statement Rees made on the Tenleytown Listserv: "While I am not a smoker, I see anti-smokers and their current cause in DC as being on the same mental wave length as abortion clinic bombers." Although I guess that one could say that writing that you have two children in one place (on his website) and three children in another (on DC Pages) is stranger.

Stewart20008 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 The DC Government knows who I am, many reporters have verified who I am but why is it that any time anyone attacks Sam Brooks this JT Frank attacks attacks the other candidate who is not posting anything? This leads me to believe that JT Franks is Sam Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Frank, Who cares how many children Mr. Rees has! You are so petty. I too am turned off by the anti-smoking crowd as they are way too fanatical for my taste so why is what Rees saying contradictory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfrank Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 There are some interesting mistakes on Jonathan Rees' website -- another indication that he's something other than a real candidate for City Council for Ward 3. First, as I mentioned in another post, the source code behind his page revealed that Jonathan Rees, not Margaret Clay, who's given credit for creating the site, was the actual author of the website. After I pointed this out, the website's authorship was changed. (But I still have the original source code for anyone who wants it.) Second, Rees' post office box in zip code 20009 is not located in Ward 3, but on 18th Street, NW. Odd, isn't it? Third, what really happened to the page on Rees' website that said, "I am married to the former Mindy Lynn Silverman (actress) and I have two children; daughter Anita 30 and son Jason 25"? I still haven't seen an explanation by Rees himself about why he wrote on his own website that he has two children, but has reported elsewhere that he has three children. This is far from a petty question. It goes to the heart of the issue: Jonathan Rees is living a fantasy when it comes to running for City Council. But I do understand Mr. Rees' reluctance to be specific about who he really is. The last time he was specific was one of those "gotcha" moments: Rees wrote that he was going to be seated next to Mayor Williams at a black tie affair sponsored by the Washington Times (http://www.dcpages.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6203), when in fact Tony Williams was at a historic preservation reception at the Kennedy-Warren.
