Dear War Tax Resisters and War Tax Resistance Supporters in Maine,


You are invited to attend the annual Maine statewide workshop and  
gathering of war tax resisters and supporters on Saturday, February  
12th, 2011, at the Maine Equal Justice Project office, 126 Sewall  
St., Augusta, Maine.  See the attached flyer for a schedule and other  
details. In case of bad weather on February 12th, call 525-7776  
before 8 am or the previous evening to see if the meeting is  
postponed to the snow date of February 13th, same time and place.  
Whether you are interested in beginning war tax resistance, have been  
or are a resister, or want to learn more about how to do it, this  
meeting will provide information and help you decide what new  
directions and actions you can take.

Directions to Maine Equal Justice -  From I - 95 (from south or north  
or west)

Take Exit 109A Augusta. On the ramp there is a fork, bear right  
(Augusta) onto Western Avenue.  (From Lewiston/Winthrop, take Route  
202 into Augusta, where it becomes Western Avenue.) Take Western  
Avenue to the 4th set of traffic lights (the Armory will be on your  
left and Fire Station on your right) and turn right onto Armory  
Street. Armory Street swings to the left around a big corner and  
turns into Capitol Street. Go down the hill on Capitol St. to the  
traffic light at the intersection with Sewall Street. You will see  
the State House with the Dome. Go right on Sewell St. down to MEJP at  
126 Sewall, right hand side, grey house.



Directions to Maine Equal Justice -  From the East (Route 3/Belfast  
or Rt. 17/Rockland or Rt. 27/Wiscasset) Take Route 3 or 17 or 27 to  
Cony Traffic Circle in Augusta on east side of Kennebec River. Go  
from the circle onto the Memorial Bridge (just after Border Trust on  
the circle) to traffic circle on other side. Continue straight  
through the circle onto Western Avenue (four lanes). Take Western for  
two short blocks to the first traffic light (Sewall St., federal  
building on left side, Flo’s flowers on the right). Turn left, go one  
long block thru another light, then look for 126 Sewall St. on the  
right.                                                                   
                        For carpooling or questions, contact Larry  
Dansinger at 525-7776 or rosc at psouth.net.

The morning session (10 AM-noon) will have two concurrent workshops,  
one for people new to war tax resistance, those considering it, and  
those just wanting more information, and one for more experienced  
resisters.
Lunch will follow from 12-1 (bring food to share for a potluck,  
kitchen is available).
The afternoon session (1-3 PM) will primarily focus on Tax Day  
activities on or before April 15 and how to promote WTR in this  
atmosphere of war. We will also discuss connections to national WTR  
campaigns and to Maine’s Bring Our War $$ Home campaign.

resistance work in Maine, or if you want more information on the how- 
to's or rewards and possible consequences of war tax resistance,
