Over coffee this morning, a young man told me that "he was making a political statement by NOT VOTING!" That's sad that folks feel so disempowered that they have withdrawn their votes and have conceded to the powers that be...without a fight!!!
I will be painting over the wall this week...
Anyone with paint donations may contact me directly!!!
Thanks for sharing your political awareness with others so that our voters may have all the information available to them to make powerful decisions!

I have many gallons of paint left over from jobs and most are nearly full. I think we could mix together to make a brownish color. Would that do? You can email me if interested. I also have an 8-ft; 6-ft. and 18-ft. extension ladder to borrow if necessary. Kate Dupuis
How tall's the wall?
I have a 44' extension ladder and an airless sprayer. Spayer will pump about a gallon a minute. Needs 15amp single phase.
If you wanna get a message out that Google Earth can read....or cover it all up when your done.
Approx. 40 Ft ladder is best. (wall)... Good Ideas..
okay...what's google earth? Is that the photo imaging site with photos of the planet?
That'd be cool if that's what you are saying... Need LARGER LETTERS & SOMEONE GOOD ON A LADDER!!!
Would like to get both ladder & paint and paint a neater sign all together. I must admit that my emotions had gotten the best of me on day 1 of this Political Wall! I was not happy with the issues going on with Santiago at all! But, he's not worth the words right now.
At Home Depot.... Spray paint (Gloss Black/white) is about .97/can. The pretty colors are about $4.00/can plus tax. Sometimes you can find bad mix paint gallons for about $5.00/gallon at the counter. I couldn't find extra large STENCILS...like 1'-2' for extra large lettering... but I did look for them.
I am tapped every which way at this point. So, when my dad leaves by Weds....hopefully we can collaborate a new sign.... That gives us another day to come up with some things...
I could break the WALL down into sections and really get busy painting political stuff...particularly with a ladder... and yes...when it's over...I've gotta paint it all back to the base color!!!! That sprayer would be very awesome now and later! Are you interested in helping me put something up there? Let's make a plan! I would love to use the entire top of the wall for: VISIT www.REALNEO.us in like 2 foot letters.
My hopes were to make a coffee house or a place where the citizens could come and feel comfortable sipping coffee, talking about community stuff, and promoting community info... almost like a REALNEO Cafe on Fulton Road!!!
Ahhh....too many ideas, not enough lives to live!
