We will be returning to the state capital in Augusta at 9:30 am tomorrow. We've had two days in a row of snow cancellations across Maine. It's been a rough patch of weather.
We'll hold signs and hand out flyers on the 3rd floor of the capital building between the House and Senate chambers while they are in session.
We've also announced a news conference there on the 3rd floor for 11:00 am. We'd like to provide the media with our reactions to the Taxation Committee cutting the proposed corporate tax break to General Dynamics by 25% to $45 million over 15 years. We remain opposed to the bill in its entirety.
Secondly we'd like to comment on the story about the S6 (Machinists) union at BIW declining to endorse the bill. That is a big deal and we've yet to see it covered by Maine media with the exception of The Free Press out of Rockland. I wonder why it is being ignored?
Last night I dreamt about food - various kinds of lovely pizza. My energy level is dropping still and my head continues to get a bit fuzzier each day. I'm still drinking water with lemon, fruit juices, broth, and fruit smoothies made for me by MB. I've lost over 16 pounds but our scale does not work so well. My arms and legs have gotten quite thin.
The best thing about this hunger strike is that it has given me the feeling of serenity I've needed to get through this very intense campaign which has now lasted for two months.
I'm truly grateful for all the Mainers who have worked so hard to make this a successful effort. It's not over yet - we'll give it all we have until the end.
Bruce
