Windham Protestor to Host RNC Viewing Party

Gaining public noteriety following a protest of President Barack Obama's visit to Windham earlier this month, a local businessman will once again invite supporters of the GOP ticket to his sales and marketing company on Tuesday.

Al Letizio Jr., who draped a "We Did Build It" Romney sign facing Route 111 as the Obama motorcade passed on Aug. 18, is hosting a Republican National Convention viewing party.

The timing of the watch party is coordinated with the scheduled speaking appearances in Tampa, Fla. of Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, and small businessman Jack Gilchrist of Hudson.

A statement was issued in a release from the RNC Victory program. It detailed the theme of the convention:

Tomorrow’s convention theme is “we built it” in response to President Obama’s demoralizing comments that “if you have a business, you didn’t build that – someone else made that happen.”

Business owners will be on hand to watch the convention, and a phone bank will also take place. The party will begin at 7:30 p.m.
