We were greatly disappointed this morning when we learned that Maine Gov. Paul LePage would not be inviting the New England Patriots to Maine for a Super Bowl Celebration.

We would like to have them come to Maine for a celebration and have prepared the following open letter inviting them.

Dear New England Patriots:

First, let us congratulate you all on your AMAZING win of Super Bowl LI!  WOW! 

Second, please forgive Maine.  Our Governor doesn't speak for ALL of us.  

Third, we would LOVE to invite the New England Patriots to come visit Augusta, Maine & celebrate your well-deserved victory!  

This has been a memorable season for the New England Patriots and we are proud to be fans.  Maine would be honored to welcome such a great group of athletes to our capitol.  Your dedication, drive & spirit is certainly qualities our Governor could learn to model after.  

Our doors are ALWAYS open.
