In the interest of sharing information, we are forwarding the following
message from Andrew Mahaleris, Deputy Communications Director - ME &
NH for the Republican National Committee.

Hey there,

President Trump is aggressively confronting coronavirus on multiple
fronts: not only to protect the health of Americans, but their economic
wellbeing too.

That's why President Trump secured the Paycheck Protection Program
(PPP) to inject $350 billion into America's great small
businesses.

Small businesses in Maine have been hit hard by COVID-19, but the PPP
will provide economic relief for Maine businesses - which will allow
them to keep workers on the payroll and keep their businesses open.

Starting today, this program, through the Small Business Administration,
will:
* Provide 8 weeks of cash-flow assistance to small businesses who
maintain their payroll during the coronavirus crisis.

* Small businesses can take out a forgivable loan: If the employer
maintains its payroll and this money is used for paying rent or
salaries, then the loan will be forgiven.

* The loan is also retroactive. Workers who have already been laid off
can be brought back onto payrolls.  

* Small businesses can find these details as well as apply at
sba.gov/coronavirus
.

**Reminder:** Since President Trump was elected, he has always fought
for the American worker. Now with an unprecedented global crisis
affecting every single American, President Trump's administration has
provided a much needed lifeline.

**Bottom Line:** President Trump and Maine Senator Susan Collins are
committed to making sure small businesses in Maine and their workers,
the backbone of America, are able to get back up and running once the
economy reopens, putting our country in the strongest possible position
to come back stronger than ever.
