As much as anything might be, having Mainers out in the cold with a <b class="">"Leaving Mainers Out in the Cold"</b> banner could be an effective message. Like this 3’ x 9’ banner for the occasion. </p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal"><img alt="Inline image 1" style="margin-right: 0px;" apple-inline="yes" id="CC6BABDC-0B47-453A-BC10-8BE9516EE50C" width="188" height="70" src="cid:ii_1605afffcfd50faf" class=""><img width="0" height="0" alt="Macintosh HD:Users:dennisch:Desktop:Screen Shot 2017-12-15 at 10.44.42 AM.png" style="margin-right: 0px;" class=""></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> Tuesday promises to be the not-so-cold (high of 38)and hopefully not too late day this coming week. Having the banner displayed for much of the day (trying for 8:00 to 3:00) rather than the usual noon-to 1 pm style, would have more impact. To do so, would need just a minimum of two, plus or minus even a small handful of folks throughout the day. The more the merrier, of course.</p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> I invite people to check this doodle link and pick an hour that they would be able to stand with this, and to be able to see which hours might need people, as well.</p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal"><b class=""><font color="#0000ff" class=""><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/8furm5n2hgwxz8qv" class="">https://doodle.com/poll/8furm5n2hgwxz8qv</a></font></b><br class=""></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Not to crowd out any other activity that folks or organizations might like to consider on Tuesday in front of the federal building, any other signs or etc that show up would of course be welcome additions, though the banner can also stand alone. Please feel free to extend this invitation to any other people or groups you think might have an interest.</p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Even if the tax bill vote happens on Monday, I think this makes sense as an appropriate shaming demonstration. Come with your hats and mittens!</p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Thanks for reading </p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Dennis Chinoy, <a href="mailto:dennischinoy@gmail.com" class="">dennischinoy@gmail.com</a> </p><div class="">
