On a Sunday at noon…so you’re protesting in front of a nearly empty building minus cleaning crew and/or security staff.

Clearly will be very effective.

Protesting is more of a media publicity thing, so if the media there, it’s worth it.

Maybe more people can come on a Sunday at noon? If so, then great.

Pretty much. We’ve protested at homes of state lawmakers too but don’t invite media.

I’m not using my PTO and wouldn’t expect anyone to do so either. The media publicity should get things rolling.

I’m saying I use enough PTO for this and refuse to give up holidays with my kids. It’s the end of the year and a new bucket starts in a few weeks. If you want to plan one during the week, I’m happy to repost it for you.

They are always held either then, or around 1pm on a Tuesday when anyone that actually has a financial interest is at work.

It’s been effective before.

Has it? I see no change in behavior or protocol from eversource, PURA, or the bought and paid for politicians. So how has it been effective in the past?

One could even say they’ve gotten worse and more brazen in their disregard with PURA coming out and saying their reviews of eversource price hikes are administrative and they have no actual power.

This is the first step. This is not the entire action.

LOL! I was one of the 40,000 disgruntled CT Yankees that protested Wiecker's income tax.

Lotta damn good that did. So, no.

You were doing God’s work at the time. I think I remember a song about a run in Weicker or Rowland had with a reindeer as a child. 🤔
