Monday, April 18, 2011 — About twenty Portsmouth residents turned out at noon today to denounce the Bank of America for its failure to pay taxes. A passerby, referring to bogus paperwork used in foreclosures, suggested that their sign should be modified to read, “Bank Fraud of America.”
One sign below reads, “This sign cost more than Bank of America paid in taxes last year.”
This shy gentleman’s sign reads, “Hey, Hey, I’m the B of A — Guess Who Pays My Taxes Today!”
Somehow that artwork seems vaguely familiar …
My mistake. It wasn’t an email. She said she saw it in a newspaper. I have no reason not to believe her, but she doesn’t recall which one. She lives in the Rochester area but doesn’t subscribe to any. She leans towards the free papers but it could have been any paper from Portsmouth to Rochester. I’ll do my best to find out. I have some old papers ready to recycle. It sure caught my attention when she said that.
Please do, Dave, and let us know what you hear.
I have a friend who works at the Yard and she recieved that in an email. When I see her again I’ll ask her more about it.
They were encouraging EVERYONE to go to the protest here in Maine, so I would be surprised if it was different in NH? If so, that’s pretty sad.
Where did you hear that, Dave?
We haven’t heard about any limits on protest around here, and it seems quite unlikely, too.
If it is true, we would certainly like to know about it.
I had heard that the protest was limited to 50 people and they had to register. Do you know if this was true? If so, I find that kind of disturbing itself. The power and influence of money.
