Will Taxpayers Now Pay Legal Bills for Illegal Aliens? http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=18648 The immigration bill passed by the U.S. Senate in May 2006 not only would have granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, but it would also have required an amnesty-seeker to have a lawyer and forced taxpayers to provide one. Although the bill did not become law, the election of Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress ensures that it will be revived in 2007, very possibly with the support of President Bush.

New news, you want more problems or you want solutions?

Anybody know some things about Hillary??????? Oh wait..never mind. She wasn't born into money and political influence. She came from middle class Illinois, and worked her way up -graduating from Yale Law School during a time when women were at an educational disadvantage. As a law student, Hillary represented foster children and parents in family court and worked on some of the earliest studies creating legal standards for identifying and protecting abused children. Following graduation, she became a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund when she could have taken a job with a large law firm making much more money. After serving as only one of two women lawyers on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee considering the impeachment of Richard Nixon, Hillary chose not to pursue offers from major law firms. Her daughter Chelsea was born in 1980 but pregnancy and raising a well balanced daughter did not thwart her tireless work for families and children. Hillary ran a legal aid clinic for the poor when she first got to Arkansas and handled cases of foster care and child abuse. Years later, she organized a group called Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. When she was just 30, President Carter appointed her to the board of the United States Legal Services Corporation, a federal nonprofit program that funds legal assistance for the poor. As First Lady of Arkansas, Hillary continued to advocate for children, leading a task force to improve education in Arkansas through higher standards for schools and serving on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, helping them expand and improve their services. She also served on national boards for the Children's Defense Fund, the Child Care Action Campaign, and the Children's Television Workshop. She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm. She led the American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession, which played a pioneering role in raising awareness of issues like sexual harassment and equal pay. Hillary was twice named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America. When Bill became president, here's a few things she worked on as First Lady: to travel the globe speaking out for women and children, to make adoption easier, to expand early learning and child care, to increase funding for breast cancer research, and to help veterans suffering from Gulf War syndrome . She also helped launch a national campaign to prevent teen pregnancy and helped create the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, which moved children from foster care to adoption more quickly. All of us know that she has championed healthcare before. Yeah, her plan wasn't perfect, but she's been there and is adjusting her plan based on her experience. She was also partly responsible for the Family and Medical Leave Act. Finally, in 2000, Hillary was elected to the United States Senate from New York. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Hillary worked with her colleagues to secure the funds New York needed to recover and rebuild. She fought to provide compensation to the families of the victims, grants for hard-hit small businesses, and health care for front line workers at Ground Zero. She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And about Obama and his church: He has went to this church since 1988 was married there and his children were baptised there. I am adding the link from Wikipedia as well as the article and the church. You owe it to yourself to know everything about him. My question is why isn't he leaving this church? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/denise-whe... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam... http://www.tucc.org/about.htm - If you look at the church website there is a "Commitment to Africa" statement.. it is said this is why Obama will not wear a US pin anymore. READ ABOUT LOUIS FARRAKAN AND OBAMA'S PASTOR.. it is here in the links. I don't think he's racist. I'd just say know who your voting for. "Just my opinion". I'm not trying to weigh heavily on the propaganda that's circulating the internet about Obama. Just the facts. I ask legitimate questions about Obama too. But I still can't get a sound answer.

Do you know the difference in experience between Hillary/Obama? I got this information from BOTH the Clinton site and the Obama site, its true and impartial, I was fair to both and listed all that there was (although I got sick of listing all of Hillary's) If this makes a difference I hope it lines it out: Lawyer (one of two women) of the House of judiciary Committee (worked on the impeachment of Nixon) First Lady Governor during 2 terms Arkansas organized a group in Arkansas called Advocates for Children and Families (later became one of the models for the SCHIPS program to insure underinsured children (Bush has continued to cut funding for) First Lady to the President 2 terms Board of the United States Legal Services Corporation, a federal nonprofit program that funds legal assistance for the poor under the Carter Administration. Board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, helping them expand and improve their services. She also served on national boards for the Children's Defense Fund, the Child Care Action Campaign, and the Children's Television Workshop. American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession, which played a pioneering role in raising awareness of issues like sexual harassment and equal pay. Hillary was twice named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America. Created the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, which moved children from foster care to adoption more quickly. She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, working to see that America's military has the necessary resources to protect our national security. New York Senate 2 terms Hillary has been a powerful advocate for women in the Senate. Her commitment to supporting the rights guaranteed in Roe v. Wade and to reducing the number of abortions by reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies was hailed by the New York Times as "frank talk...(and) a promising path." Hillary is one of the original cosponsors of the Prevention First Act to increase access to family planning. Wrote two books "It takes a village" and "Living History" Barack Obama Experience: Graduated Harvard Law School 8 years total in Illinois State Senate (part of time as Jr. Senator) A community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor black neighborhoods first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised co wrote two books "Audacity of Hope" "Dreams of my Father" oh and Barack worked as an attorney in Private practice and also as a senior lecturer at Harvard. nope Obama has a total of eight years as well as she does, be fair, she hasn't puffed anything, the woman is busy!

DEALER SERVICES CORP. withholding the title to my car because of dealer non-payment what can I do? Ok, this is a long story but I am gonna make it as short as i can. I bought a car from a dealer in another state. I paid for the vehicle in cash. The dealer bought my car from an auto auction. bounced the check he used to pay for the car by mistake. the auction came and took the car back. the dealer went and paid the auction for the car. Everything was going well except for now this issue. The DSC "Dealer services corporation" that the dealer used as financial help with buying cars etc....they have a floorplan of vehicles they basically borrow money to the dealer, so the dealer can purchase cars, and when a car is sold they pay the "DSC" back what they borrowed. My issue is that the dealer owes the DSC money from other sales that were made and were never paid back. They have all the titles to the vehicles that were sold. The titles to the vehicles that were on "borrowed money" that were on the floor plan. They have the title to my car even though it was NOT one of the cars that were bought with the "borrowed money" and it was NOT on their floorplan. They do not want to give me the title because the dealer owes them alot of money but they dont have any legal right to the vehicle now because I have the bill of sale and reciept for the car that it is already sold. What can I do???

How long do employers (especially temp agencies/contract agencies) have to keep records of your employment? I no longer temp but used to and can't believe I stayed in that industry so long. What a scam some of these guys have working... I worked for one agency for two years back in the mid-90s. Same job assignment even. (Yes, that was an incredibly foolish thing to, especially considering I did not like temping but that's another story.) I digress... Before I got my current job, my employer did a background check on me. The investigator actually called me up asking me if I could fax them a copy of my paycheck stub for proof that I worked there. The reason? The temp agency, Kelly Services - a major corporation- had purged my records. The investigator explained that it is very common for agencies to purge records after a few years...I got the job but only because one of my employees from the agency remembered me and verified this. But gees..How is that legal? Is this just a temp agency thing or another way of them telling the temps how much they really think of them?

The company would also write copy for websites, articles etc on many topics, not only legal. There is also a subspecialty in real estate and finance.

Do you think incarcerating innocent children for Profit should be legal? The children at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor live in cells & wear uniforms & receive inadequate medical and educational services. They're guilty of no crimes & endanger no1. Their parents are incarcerated here because they are seeking Asylum after fleeing such circumstances as war, torture, political persecution & rape. Teachers at the center aren't required to be licensed in Texas, and the state’s family welfare agency exempted Hutto licensing requirements. Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is paid 2.8 million dollars a month (7k per child per month or 84k per child per year) to keep these children behind bars. Each child is OBVIOUSLY not getting 7k worth of treatment. Where is the rest of the money going? Why are people allowed to make a profit off of incarcerated children? The ACLU is fighting this, and the UN has been denied access to investigate any crimes being committed. Why is this legal on US soil? Plz See : http://www.myspace.com/free_the_children

What do you think about this Bailout Could Help Illegal Immigrants ? The massive government bailout of the nation’s financial system could help thousands of illegal immigrants who obtained home loans from banks that were encouraged to offer them by the federal agency in charge of preserving and promoting public confidence in the system. The controversial $700 billion bailout will offer foreclosure relief for those at risk of losing their homes and that includes thousands of illegal immigrants who got mortgages from U.S. financial institutions thanks to a push from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which began encouraging banks to offer services to illegal immigrants a few years ago. Headquartered in Washington D.C., The FDIC insures more than $3 trillion of deposits in U.S. banks and is managed by a five-person board of directors appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. In the last few years the agency succeeded in getting several large lending institutions to offer a variety of banking services to illegal aliens, including home loans. Now U.S. banks routinely offer services to people without Social Security numbers by accepting the Mexican identification called matricula consular to open accounts. Some states—like Illinois and Wisconsin—even used millions of dollars in public funds to provide low-interest home loans for illegal immigrants with no credit history or documentation in the U.S. The loan default rate among illegal immigrants is high because they are inherently unreliable, are prone to fraud and may be forced by circumstances to return to their home nation at any point, according to a congressman representing a state that operated a large mortgage fraud ring featuring hundreds of unqualified borrowers that used fake identities to get money. The veteran Colorado Representative, Tom Tancredo, wants to assure that the bailout, set to pass this week, doesn’t offer incentives for illegal aliens. In a letter to his colleagues in Congress, Tancredo asked that safeguards be included on the bailout plan to verify the legal residency and identity of potential homebuyers. This will prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining federally backed home loans and assure that U.S. taxpayers are not absorbing their debts or bad loans made by banks to illegal aliens. Could it be a coincidence that the area’s hardest hit by home foreclosures happen to be illegal immigrant sanctuaries like Las Vegas, large parts of southern and northern California and the famous Arizona sanctuary of Phoenix?

Legal to offer discounts to same-sex couples? I own a wedding planning business (in California) and in recognition of the court ruling allowing for same-sex marriages in California I want to offer 50% off all services to any same-sex couples getting married in 2008. But, I am concerned as to whether or not it is legal to offer discounts to one group of people over another? My business is a sole proprietorship (not a corporation). I don't want to be accused of "discrimination" by any straight couples. PS. I am not interested in hearing opinions about gay marriage, so please only respond if you have a relevant reply. Thanks in advance.

Is it legal for a company owner to take $1mil in profits and divide it up and give it to his family members? The company I work for is locally owned and operated but we are a distributor for a major corporation. We sale and service only their product. It has come to my attention that our local company divided up the company profits and transferred into their personal accounts. Is this legal? So it's legal for him to have his wife and accountant on the payroll even if they don't work in any capacity for the company. The account only does is "personal taxes". Also, the $1million was taken out in 2007, now the company has laid off almost all the support staff, has cut everyone's salaries by 10% and is not paying company bills.

Would someone plz post an Accomplishments BIO of OBama as I am of Hillary? This is only a short list of the good she has done, starting back in her early life. You can pull it up by bringing her history BIO up online. There is much much more. Early life Raised in a politically conservative household,[11] at age thirteen she helped canvass South Side Chicago following the very close 1960 U.S. presidential election, finding evidence of electoral fraud against Republican candidate Richard Nixon,[12] and volunteered for Republican candidate Barry Goldwater in the U.S. presidential election of 1964.[13] Her early political development was shaped most strongly by her energizing high school history teacher, who got her to read Goldwater's classic The Conscience of a Conservative[14] and who was, like her father, a fervent anti-communist, and by her Methodist youth minister, like her mother concerned with issues of social justice; with the minister she saw and met civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. in Chicago in 1962. Rodham attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami, where she decided to leave the Republican Party for good; she was upset over how Richard Nixon's campaign had portrayed Rockefeller and what Rodham perceived as the "veiled" racist messages of the convention That summer, she worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions). Law school During her second year, she worked at the Yale Child Study Center,[34] learning about new research on early childhood brain development and working as a research assistant on the seminal work, Beyond the Best Interests of the Child (1973).[35][36] She also took on cases of child abuse at Yale-New Haven Hospital,[35] and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free advice for the poor.[ and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free advice for the poor.[34] In the summer of 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at Marian Wright Edelman's Washington Research Project, where she was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale's Subcommittee on Migratory Labor, researching migrant workers' problems in housing, sanitation, health and education;[37][38] Edelman would become a significant mentor to her.[38] In the late spring of 1971, she began dating Bill Clinton, who was also a law student at Yale. Early Arkansas years Rodham co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, a state-level alliance with the Children's Defense Fund, in 1977. For much of that time[81] she served as the chair of that board, the first woman to do so.[82] During her time as chair, funding for the Corporation was expanded from $90 million to $300 million,[70] and she successfully battled against President Ronald Reagan's initial attempts to reduce the funding and change the nature of the organization. Clinton appointed her chair of the Rural Health Advisory Committee the same year,[83] where she successfully obtained federal funds to expand medical facilities in Arkansas' poorest areas without affecting doctors' fees. In one of the most important initiatives of the entire Clinton governorship,[92] she fought a prolonged but ultimately successful battle against the Arkansas Education Association[92] to put mandatory teacher testing as well as state standards for curriculum and classroom size in place.[92] She introduced Arkansas' Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youth in 1985, a program that helps parents work with their children in preschool preparedness and literacy.[94] She was named Arkansas Woman of the Year in 1983 and Arkansas Mother of the Year in 1984. First Lady of the United States When Bill Clinton took office as president in January 1993, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the First Lady of the United States, and announced that she would be using that form of her name.[116] She was the first First Lady to hold a post-graduate degree[117] and to have her own professional career up to the time of entering the White House.[118] She was also the first to take up an office in the West Wing of the White House:[48] the First Lady usually stays in the East Wing. She is regarded as the most openly empowered presidential wife in American history, save for Eleanor Roosevelt.[119] Along with Senator Ted Kennedy, she was the major force behind the State Children's Health Insurance Program in 1997, a federal effort that provided state support for children whose parents were unable to provide them with health coverage. She promoted nationwide immunization against childhood illnesses and encouraged older women to seek a mammogram to detect breast cancer, with coverage provided by Medicare.[140] She successfully sought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the National Institutes of Health. The First Lady worked to investigate reports of an illness that affected veterans of the Gulf War, which became known as the Gulf War syndrome.[48] Together with Attorney General Janet Reno, Clinton helped create the Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice. In 1997, she initiated and shepherded the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which she regarded as her greatest accomplishment as First Lady.[48] As First Lady, Clinton hosted numerous White House Conferences, including ones on Child Care (1997),[141] Early Childhood Development and Learning (1997),[142] and Children and Adolescents (2000),[143] and the first-ever White House Conferences on Teenagers (2000)[144] and Philanthropy (1999). Hillary Clinton traveled to 79 countries during this time,[146] breaking the mark for most-travelled First Lady held by Pat Nixon.[147] In a September 1995 speech before the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Clinton argued very forcefully against practices that abused women around the world and in China itself,[148] declaring "that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights"[148] and resisting Chinese pressure to soften her remarks.[146] She was one of the most prominent international figures at the time to speak out against the treatment of Afghan women by the Islamist fundamentalist Taliban that had seized control of Afghanistan.[149][150] She helped create Vital Voices, an international initiative sponsored by the United States to promote the participation of women in the political processes of their countries. Traditional duties Clinton initiated and was Founding Chair of the Save America's Treasures program, a national effort that matched federal funds to private donations for the purpose of preserving and restoring historic items and sites,[184] including the flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner and the First Ladies Historic Site in Canton, Ohio.[48] She was head of the White House Millennium Council,[185] and initiated the Millennium Project with monthly lectures that discuss futures studies, one of which became the first live simultaneous webcast from the White House. Clinton also created the first Sculpture Garden there, which displayed large contemporary American works of art loaned from museums in the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden.[186] Senate election of 2000 Clinton has served on five Senate committees: Committee on Budget (2001–2002),[203] Committee on Armed Services (since 2003),[204] Committee on Environment and Public Works (since 2001),[203] Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (since 2001)[203] and Special Committee on Aging.[205] She is also a Commissioner of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe[206] (since 2001).[207] Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Clinton sought to obtain funding for the recovery efforts in New York City and security improvements in her state. Working with New York's senior senator, Charles Schumer, she was instrumental in quickly securing $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center site's redevelopment. She subsequently took a leading role in investigating the health issues faced by 9/11 first responders.[211] Clinton voted for the USA Patriot Act in October 2001, as did all but one senator. In 2005, when the act was up for renewal, she worked to address some of the civil liberties concerns with it,[212] before voting in favor of a compromise renewed act in March 2006 that gained large majority support.[213] As a member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, Clinton strongly supported military action in Afghanistan, saying it was a chance to combat terrorism while improving the lives of Afghan women who suffered under the Taliban government. TAKE NOTE: "should such action be required" Now those who go on about her vote can eat crow!!.... Clinton voted in favor of the October 2002 Iraq War Resolution, which authorized United States President George W. Bush to use military force against Iraq, should such action be required to enforce a United Nations Security Council Resolution after pursuing with diplomatic efforts. In late 2005, Clinton said that while immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake, Bush's pledge to stay "until the job is done" is also misguided, as it gives Iraqis "an open-ended invitation not to take care of themselves. Clinton voted in 2005 against the confirmation of John Roberts as Chief Justice of the United States,[220] and in 2006 against the nomination of Samuel Alito to the United States Supreme Court;[221] both were confirmed. In 2005, Clinton called for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate how hidden sex scenes showed up in the controversial video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.[222] Along with Senators Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh, she introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act, intended to protect children from inappropriate content found in video games. In March 2007 she voted in favor of a war spending bill that required President Bush to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq within a certain deadline; it passed almost completely along party lines[234] but was subsequently vetoed by President Bush. In May 2007 a compromise war funding bill that removed withdrawal deadlines but tied funding to progress benchmarks for the Iraqi government passed the Senate by a vote of 80-14 and would be signed by Bush; Clinton was one of those who voted against it. Clinton has enjoyed high approval ratings for her job as senator within New York, reaching an all-time high of 72 to 74 percent approving (including half of Republicans).

Help with true or false Civics Questions pleaseeee!? Larceny is theft of property without the use of force or violence. Being arraigned means that the accused appears before a judge and enters a plea of guilty or not guilty of the charge. Economies of scale describes the situation in which things can be produced more efficiently and cheaply by large companies. A company has a monopoly if it is one of many firms selling a product or providing a service. Corporation profits paid to stockholders are referred to as margin calls. Natural resources, capital, labor, and entrepeneurship are all "factors of production." The dollar value of all goods and services produced in the United States each year is called the Gross Domestic Product. Your credit rating is a report that shows how reliable you are in maintaining a job. Bankruptcy is a legal declaration that a person cannot pay his or her debts. The federal government's policy of taxing and spending is called its fiscal policy. The central bank of the United States is called the National Reserve. In 1986, some craft unions formed a large organization called the American Federation of Labor.

Is it illegal for lawyers to partner with companies and corporations? If someone wanted to 'partner' with a lawyer; to offer joint services. Is that illegal? I am in california and was told that "By law you can not be a partner with a lawyer" why not? If he is not my lawyer? Can we not make money with each other? Is there any supporting legal code to show this person if they are wrong?

Legal question....about McDonald's restaurant? I am an employee at McDonald's restaurant, and I have quite an interesting story that I need to ask Y!Answers about the legality of one of our customer's threats. We have a guy that comes in every once in a while, and he orders a double cheeseburger without pickles. He claims that he is deathly allergic to pickles and if he bites into one, he could potentially die. So today, he orders his normal double cheeseburger without pickles. He gets his order, comes back, and tells me that he needs to go throw up in the bathroom because he took a bite into his sandwich, and it turns out that it had pickles on it. These mistakes happen every so often, sometimes when we're busy, we make mistakes, like any normal humans would. He claims we were trying to "poison" him and that he wanted to name of the person who made the sandwich. And was telling us that he would file a lawsuit if we ever did this again. You would think that if he was "deathly allergic" to pickles that this guy would, you know, check his sandwich before taking a huge bite out of it. But nope, he'd rather come back to the counter and harass the McDonald's employees. I know that of course we're in the wrong for making his sandwich incorrectly, and he has every right to be upset about that fact. But the idea that we were trying to "poison" him and "attempt murder" (he said that) upon him just sort of makes me chuckle. So for all of the lawyers or people that are familiar with the law.....here is my question: Does this man have any sort of claim or legal action that he could take against the McDonald's employees or corporation that would justify his claims? Could he really press charges against us and claim we attempted to murder him? And as a McDonald's employee...do I have any right to refuse him service, for fear of being prosecuted if for any reason his sandwich is accidentally made wrong? Songbird JPA - could you please elaborate? Everyone please report Tallen and Songbyrd, they're a waste of oxygen.

What can I do if I sued someone using the wrong name? Ex:DBA instead of Corporation? I sued someone a while back and won the court case but the court informed me that I named the defendant wrong. Instead of putting him and his company down as a "Corporation" i said he was "Doing Business As=DBA". It is a huge screw up because now i cant do nothing to him because his company is part of a corpration although he is the agent for service. The Clerk told me that i must now seek legal advice which is bad because it is going to cost me alot!! I need help and i dont want to drop the case, this guys has done wrong an he owes me money. What can i do to fix the problem???

Legal question: Does this have the potential to get ugly? I was arrested in Walmart for petit larceny (merchandise was worth about $50, mostly makeup). The judge suggested that I plead 'not guilty' because I am a university student (18 years old) and the court doesn't like to ruin the futures of young people who show promise (paraphrasing what they told me). I was given an ACD and 20 hours of community service. If I don't get in trouble for the next six months, the case will be sealed. On top of the legal charges, Walmart's lawyers filed a civil claim and asked for $200+ to settle the matter. The district attorney who suggested the judge give me an ACD told me (off the record) that I shouldn't bother paying it because a huge corporation like Walmart probably wouldn't bother going after a poor student, especially since they got all the merchandise back and didn't actually lose anything. Since I followed his advice and didn't respond to the request, the lawyers sent another notice asking for more money ($500+). My family is really distraught over this and acting very paranoid, so my question is this: Keeping in mind that Walmart is huge and quite busy trying to fight tons of legal battles filed AGAINST itself (I read that they get sued about 2-5 times a day in federal court alone), would they really bother taking someone like me to court? And if they did, could they win even when (a) the value of the merchandise was relatively low, (b) they got back all the stuff anyway, and (c) I was essentially found not guilty of the crime and my case will almost certainly be dismissed? Please answer only if you are knowledgeable about legal matters like this one; otherwise, please don't waste either your time or mine with useless, judgmental comments (as some users of this site tend to do). Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Incorporation - help with website Vs. corporation name and to figure out if I can do contracting/1099? Two Questions: (1) I have incorporated with one name in California (A, Inc. for example) while my business (web based service) is running in the industry as www.b.com (for example). Am I still covered in terms of liabilities? Do I need to keep same name? Where do I need to write that this service (www.b.com) is owned by A, Inc? (2) Also, I am planning to do full time contracting on the side (using this corporation) and will be doing corp-to-corp deal with a company who will be paying me for the consultancy/contracting work. My web based business and this consulting field are totally different. Is it OK? Any legal issue? Thanks in advance

Suing an Out of State Corporation? I am a hardworking father and husband. I usually do my taxes myself and am pretty knowledgeable about the process. By doing a worksheet, which is part of the software I normally use, I calculated I owed almost 2 thousand dollars to the IRS. Yikes! While pondering this I heard the TV ad for a nationally well known tax preparation services company. They guaranteed they could do better than what an individual could because they were “tax experts”. I spent some time with the tax expert at the local H&R Block office. He was less than impressive and I had to remind him several times that he had errors which were obvious to me. He kept assuring me that it passed the “tax scrutiny software provided by his company.” The preparer came back with a figure of $700 owed to the IRS. I was pleased and I paid them $450 for them to prepare all forms and, since it was offered, I paid for their "Peace of Mind" guarantee. Total cost to me with payment to the company and the IRS was $1150 or just over half of what I had calculated. Maybe these guys really are tax experts! Their guarantee was explained to me that if I ended up owing taxes that they had not for-seen or calculated for they would happily cover them, meaning that they would pay the taxes owed. They filed the taxes with my payment of $700 and, you guessed it, the IRS comes back a few days later and says there are multiple errors on this return and you owe $900 more! (Which is exactly what I had estimated myself and would have owed anyway!) I went to H&R Block and filed a claim under “Peace of Mind” with the office manager stating: “This is so obviously our fault.” Two weeks go by and I get a letter from their Home Office: “You claim is denied!” I called all over trying to reach someone about this matter. Everyone within the company I talked to stated: “This is so simple, we did not file your taxes correctly, we should pay any taxes that the IRS says you owe.” By this time it is now 4 weeks after the claim was denied. Of course that is what was said. However, you would not believe the phone chase, endless e-mails and call backs during my work time that I endured trying to get this company to honor their advertised commitment to accurate tax preparation. Finally, I went to discuss with District Manager and was told by a claims manager: "We are not responsible. These were taxes you your-self calculated that you owed. But I can offer you a voucher for next year’s tax prep.” Yea right! I was pretty peeved. “What do I have to do I asked. File a BBB complaint, protest in front of the store, and go online to blog about this awful experience to anyone who will listen?” To which she said: "Don't forget, we have your personal information like you and your wife's SSN!" I have made numerous attempts to contact higher ups. Again I always get from the customer service department: “We will honor our guarantee.” When I went online and started to blog about this experience I met hundreds of people who have had this same experience. I finally found the executive offices and spoke to Anthony who stated that he would do everything he could. He sent the claim back for a second look and, right again, it was denied this time with the person calling me at work. “Mr. Y, your claim is denied and this is final!” I am planning to sue. I e-mailed the local BBB and was told I would have to file the complaint with BBB where the National Headquarters are in Kansas City. When I tried to do this I was told that I could not file a complaint from out of state. So what good is the BBB? One blogger stated that this company “is very bad about denying claims and feels that they are too big to be touched by an individual. “ This is just another symptom of the cancer that is poor customer service. It can and does destroy companies. I plan to ensure that this company shuts their doors in Pensacola by whatever legal and peaceful means available to me as a consumer. On Monday at 5:00 P.M. I am planning to shoot a You-tube video of the store front and tell my story. I plan to have a large group there. I will show them a “piece of my The coporate headquarters are in KC, MO, their agent is in Orlando, FL but their local office is here in Pensacola, FL. I am suing in Small Claims Court. A) Where can I file suit? B) Can I ask for punative damages for my time consumed in seeking their assistance? C) Do I have to know the name of the local office manager?

Is mandatory cable TV payments legal? My friend lives in a MHPark that charges more than the cable company does for basic service. It is CA, but I have never heard of a "luxury item" being imposed on a renter. Is it legal? There are many people there on low and fixed incomes, so money matters. Since the corporation that owns the park has deep pockets, would they stand a chance in court, since the manager says pay, move or sue. They own their own mobilehomes, but pay space rent, so "moving" is troublesome. I don't understand it but they don't really have leases now? Leases were signed when they moved in 5 years ago, but each year they just get an updated copy of the Mobilehome Residency Law. In the second year there was a new lease offered for acceptance but nothing like that since. I couldn't find anything in the MH Residency Law that applied to this situation. Could it be considered gouging if they charge more than the regular rate the cable company does?

Am I at a legal liability? Basically this is what went down. I am an 18 year old gamer who was caught in a bad situation when a person I met online told me that if I bought them Ten Bucks on the internet phone known as "Skype", they would give me a video game cd-key in return. I agreed and didn't think much of it at the time. When I asked him what he was going to do with it, he told me that he runs an internet broadcast where he prank calls like gay-bars and stuff. However, later that night, I went to listen and realized he did stuff like commit fraud to walmart over the phone by pretending to be a rep from a corporation. I immediately contacted the Skype Admins and had the account shut down. I also contacted walmart asset protection services and state poliec who took a report from me. This was about 3 motnhs ago. I just haven't had any closure and ive lost a bit of sleep. This is in the US. The key here is I didnt know he was going to commit fraud, I thought he just did pranks to gaybars and hooters. Thanks for all your great answers. =]

Why have churches sold out to the government? Obtaining Corporation Status (501c3) is Against God The word "church" is not meant to refer to any physical building, but refers to the worldwide body of believers in Christ. The word "church" (ecclesia in Greek - called out ones) does not refer to any organization, no matter it's name or legal status. Keep that in mind when reading this article. It is time for Christians to wake up and turn back to God. We need to turn to the Lord and repent of our sins that we have committed against Him. We need to ask for forgiveness of tolerating idolatry that removes His Sovereignty over His Church. To see that the Church is in grave danger we must have a clear understanding of what a corporation is. We also need to realize what the courts have ruled about corporations and that a corporation has no rights, only privileges, granted by the "estate." To become a corporation removes the authority of the Lord over a corporate church and puts it under the bondage of man's law. According to man, The State is Sovereign over its Corporations 1. "A corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises and holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. There is a reserved right in the legislature to investigate its contracts and ascertain if it has exceeded its powers" (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43) 2. "[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of persons created by statute as a legal entity.... The corporation is distinct from the individuals who comprise it (shareholders).... Such an entity subsists as a body politic under a special denomination, which is regarded in law as having a personality and existence distinct from that of its several members." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company, 1991; 6th Edition, page 340. 3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the State and, therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred upon it. Power is used here to mean the legal capacity to execute and fulfill the objects and purposes for which the corporation was created, and the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796. A corporation derives its existence and all of its power from the State. The church on the other hand was created by and is the body of Christ. We belong to Him and we are subject to Him and His Laws. The source of any church's power is supposed to be the Holy Spirit; it's authority to function solely from God. 4. "Corporate existence is a privilege granted by the sovereign upon compliance with specified conditions" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 931. . 5. "Corporations are not citizens.... The term citizen... applies only to natural persons... not to artificial persons created by the legislature" Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, 177; see also the Opinion of Field, J., in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall.36,99 The Word of God teaches us that Christians, His Holy Church, are citizens of the household of God (Eph.2:19). 6. Every corporation has obtained a charter from the State of Incorporation. This charter is simply permission to exist given to the corporation (by the State!) without which, its operations would be considered illegal. In addition to the charter are the articles of incorporation: "The objects or purposes for which a corporation is formed are expressly stated in its articles of incorporation, which delineate in general language the type of business activities in which the corporation proposes to engage" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 798. 7. "Instances of non-profit corporations are educational institutions, athletic clubs, library clubs, fraternities, sororities, hospitals, and organizations which have exclusively a charitable purpose" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 789. (Note: The purpose of the church is not "charity," nor is it's purpose exclusively charitable. Charity should be a function of every church, but is certainly not it's purpose. Offering worship to God, evangelism to the lost, and the fellowship and equipping of the saints are among church's exclusive purposes. (gm) The Lord is Sovereign over His Churches : Jesus is the Head of the Church, not man Paul compares the special relationship of Christ and His church to the God giving relationship of man and wife. What can be closer or more special then this? Would you bring another person into your marriage to control it with worldly principles? I hope the answer is no. Then why would you bring in a "fictitious entity" no less created by the state and man i.e.: corporation, to run and regulate something that belongs to the Lord? The relationship with Jesus and His Church belongs to Him alone. He is the Head of the Church and as such He governs it with His Laws, Principles and Directions. After all He is our King and is Sovereign over His Church. To become a corporation in effect divorces the church from Christ. We also commit idolatry by putting something before Him. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Christ is the Saviour of the body (the church); not the state. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. The church is subject to Christ not the state. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Christ has purchased the church with His own blood. The State can give nothing for the church and should give nothing to the church. 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. The church should be holy and without blemish, to mingle the church with the state/worldly system is to bring spot and wrinkle to the church because of what the state/world does and says, homosexuality, abortion, adultery and many other things are acceptable, they pass laws making them that way. This goes against God; should the church be partakers of that? 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: The Lord nourishes and cherishes the church. Throughout history the state has tried to destroy the church. It still does through legislation trying to control all aspects of the free and corporate church. 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. The church is a living organism with a living head and body. Therefore the church is not a religious organization. It is possible to be a religious or charitable organization without being a church. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. The church is to be joined unto Christ. In Matthew Jesus used the word cleave. I do not see that the church is to be joined to Christ and the state. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. He speaks of the relationship that the church is supposed to have with Christ. One that is supposed to be holy and true. One, that's with each other without interference, blessed. Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church Christ is to be all things to the church. He is in Charge and Head of the church not the state. The state is under His feet, it is the footstool of the Lord why put it ahead of Him? 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. KJV There are more Scriptures that would support that Jesus is the sole authority over the church. Most of us Christians know this and believe this. I challenge my brothers and sisters to find them. Study them, to see if the Truth is being brought forth. Jesus Christ Should Be The Head Of The Church - Why Then Incorporate? Many people for some reason think that a church has to. This is far from the truth on a few different levels. Here in the United States of America a church does not have to incorporate at all to be recognized as a local body of believers. (Not sure why they would want recognition from the state anyway.) I know some of you are thinking "Well, Romans 13 says..." Most of us have been taught that whatever the government says, goes. Wrong! If the government passes a law that interferes or contradicts one of Gods law we are not bound to follow it. There are examples of this in the Bible ; we have all heard the story of Daniel and the lions' den. To think Christians are bound by the laws of men, when it comes to the work of the Kingdom, is just stupid. If this were the case the church in Russia, China, Middle East and other places - if they listened to Romans 13 the way it is applied now - would never have seen growth. How about the brothers/sisters that smuggled Bibles into the old Soviet Block, China, Cuba and others? Whose law did they break? Man's. The local government's. They may be held accountable for their actions by men, they might even lose their lives. Guess what? God will reward them for their actions. They were doing the work of the Kingdom. I know most of us have heard that Federal law supercedes state law. State law supercedes county, city and town law, and so on and so forth. Guess what? The law of God supercedes all of man's law when it goes against His own (Acts 4:18-19). The point is even if there was a law requiring churches to incorporate we would not be bound to do so. In doing so we would be removing the Lordship of Jesus and giving it to the state. Thank God we have not reached this point yet in this country but don't be fooled, its coming. Why then do churches incorporate? 1. They think they have to. 2. They feel it gives them some benefit. 3. They think it gives them prestige. 4. Asset protection. 5. Think it's the only way gifts are tax deductible. 6. Think its okay with God. 7. They have always done it that way. The list could go on, I'm sure we could all find some earthly reasons why we think incorporating would be a good idea. We Still Think It's The Law - Show me Otherwise If you still think it's the law and that would make any difference to you in your relationship with the Lord, I will show you differently: "Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (U.S. Constitution, First Amendment). According to the Internal Revenue Code, "a church, its integrated auxiliaries, and conventions and associations of the church are excluded from taxation." United States Code, Title 26, 508(c)(1)(A). Section 508(c) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that churches are not required to apply for recognition of Section 501(c)(3) status in order to be exempt from federal taxation or to receive tax deductible contributions. Churches are automatically exempt from Federal income tax, and contributions to churches are deductible by donors under section 170. Elsewhere, the IRS states: "Although a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a convention of churches is not required to file Form 1023 to be exempt from federal income tax or to receive tax deductible contributions, such an organization may find it advantageous to obtain recognition of exemption (Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, IRS Publication 557). Just what "advantage" is there for a church in obtaining 501(c)(3) recognition and thereby exchanging its sovereignty for a subordinate status in relation to the federal government? Most people would answer that such grants the church exemption from taxation. However, we have already seen that the federal government has never been able to tax the Church of Christ; the Church is not exempt from taxation, it is immune. The "advantage" is something else entirely: "By establishing its exemption, potential contributors are assured by the [Internal Revenue] Service that contributions will be deductible" Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, IRS Publication 557. The tragic irony of all this is that, according to the Internal Revenue Code, financial donations to an unregistered, unincorporated church are automatically tax-deductible (26 USC 170-B). The government has no constitutional authority over the Church. It is not allowed to violate the First Amendment protection that the constitution provides. In fact the government may not infringe on any of our constitutional rights at all. They have found a way around this of course. To hold out an unbiblical advantage hoping an ignorant clergy person will take the bait and bring the church into voluntary compliance by forming a 501( C )(3) corporation, thus placing the church under the authority of the state. Once the church has been transformed into a corporation it then becomes subject to control by federal and state governments. In truth an incorporated church is no longer a church!! but merely a non-profit organization. Once a church incorporates the new non-profit organization is subject to total control by the government. You will be controlled on who you hire, what you can and cannot preach. You cannot conflict with public policy nor assault the hearer's sense of mental well being, self-esteem, sexual orientation etc. You can be sued. The IRS prohibits such organizations from "carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation" (26 USC 501-C-3). This prohibition extends, not only to the endorsement of a political candidate, but also any other attempts to "influence legislation," including taking a public stand against such government-protected abominations, such as abortion or homosexuality. Now, the church is discovering that favors from Washington, DC have strings attached. In this case, the string is a rope that is being used to throttle her once-powerful voice, to squeeze out her very life and, eventually, to hang her by the neck until dead! History Of Our New Nation: One of the reason people came to the new land was to get away from the entanglements of the old world. Quite a few of the reasons dealt with the issue of church and state. People where fleeing a repressive regime where there was a state-sponsored church or the church was running the governments. It was bad enough that people picked up and left. Now we seem to be returning to what our forefathers left on our own free will. We are taking a license to preach from the state, being told what we can and can't say. One of the things that inspired Patrick Henry's speech "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" was, he saw a man being beaten for preaching the gospel without a license. If we forget history we are doomed to repeat it. We as Christians need to wake up and take a stand. One thing that sticks in my mind is when I got married : "By the power vested in me by God and the State of California I now...." What Do I Do Now? (This section will not be favored by corporate Pastor/Ministers.) 1. You became incorporated, become unincorporated. 2. Talk to your Pastor/Minister about this important issue. 3. Rescind your membership in an incorporated church. 4. Don't incorporate. 5. Don't support incorporated churches. 6. Find an unincorporated church. 7. Start an unincorporated church. 8. Study Your Bible Daily. 9. Pray for the Body of Christ. 10. Witness and lead people to a personal relationship with Jesus. I know finding an unincorporated church will be a real chore, as there are not many out there. There is also a real need to hear and study the word. If you must go to an incorporated church I suggest not becoming a member. I know this is not the norm but we have to remember who the head of the church is, and especially, that we are not join to ourselves to a harlot. Churches which have (knowingly or not) substituted the authority of Christ with sinful man's demonically-influenced word system fit this description. This issue has weighed on my spirit for a long time. I'm guilty of idolatry for finding things to put before Him in the writing of this paper. I was led to write this and now it's almost done. I only pray that God will get the glory, eyes and hearts will be opened and His Will be done. I realize this paper will not make me many friends. I know this, but that was not the point. I pray people will take the time to search out what The Word has to say on this issue. I'm certain many people will come to the same conclusion and we can restore the Lordship of Jesus Christ to his rightful place over HIS church. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

How Do You NOT Support Corporations that Employ Illegal Immigrants? This is a question for people are against illegal immigration in the United States. I would like to know what steps you personally take to ensure that you don't support the corporations that hire illegal immigrants. I have read a lot of information online, and it seems that the majority of US corporations hire illegal immigrants- everyone from Burger King and McDonalds to Best Western to Dell to Shell. Before you purchase a product or service, how do you ensure that it wasn't produced by illegal immigrants? This is particularly important for food products, because so much of the food produced in the US has been planted, grown, picked and packed by illegal immigrants. How do you ensure that the food on your plate was produced entirely by legal citizens/residents of the USA? Have you been forced to start growing your own food? Would you be embarassed if you actively protested against immigration but someone revealed that you bought products produced by illegal immigrants? I feel that people are not reading the question. I would like to know what you PERSONALLY do to avoid using products produced by illegal immigrants. The foundation for my question is the basic economic principle of supply and demand.

do you think marijuana should be legal ? read the history before you ansewer plz, i know its long but its goo? THIS WILL EXPLAIN HOW WE CAN SAVE ON GAS A MAJOR ISSUE NOW, AND WORLD HUNGER CAN STOP AND MEDICINE SHOULD BE MADE AND THE CONFLICT W/ ALCHOL AND TOBACOO COMPANIES, PLZ READ AND REPLY , SERIOUS ANSEWERS , ONLY ANSEWER IF YOU READ , THX READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WEED!! (i know it’s long but its good information) The Marijuana Conspiracy THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL by Doug Yurchey And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land. — Ezekiel 34/29 The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body. MARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people. The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would ruin their companies. Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years: * All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974. * It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981. * REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon. * George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America. * Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow’s export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer. * For thousands of years, 90f all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary. * 80f all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin. * The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross’s flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives. * The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives. * Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt. * Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen. * In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture * Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. * Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941. * Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938. * Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world. The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture’s 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort: '...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable... ...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries... ...the Navy’s rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!' Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist. Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin ..404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938: 'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year’s crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds. ...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.' In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression. William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst’s grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp. In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont’s Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80f Dupont’s business. THE CONSPIRACY Andrew Mellon became Hoover’s Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont’s primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America. MEDIA MANIPULATION A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality. Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed. Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS: a violent narcotic. acts of shocking violence. incurable insanity. soul-destroying effects. under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax. more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana! Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN. In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers. On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress. Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp. Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst’s front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years. In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since. Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight. Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet’s energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80f our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices. THE WONDER PLANT Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime. ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural. MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body. WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds. CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50emp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans? The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word 'marijuana.' Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP! The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: It’s more dangerous than we thought. Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today. The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit. There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of the arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the arteries...which is a healthy condition. We have been so conditioned to think that: Smoking is harmful. That is NOT the case for passive pot. Ingesting THC, hemp’s active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being. The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence. The perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive. You can more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature and generally FEEL more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state. You can be more aware with pot. The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from 'horny females.' The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us.. POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!

Is this legal? MAKE THOUSANDS WITH ONLY $6.00 Investment!!! HOW TO MAKE QUICK CASH IN WEEKS FOR ONLY $6.00!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. I was browsing through news groups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!! So, I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at $6.00, and post the article in at least 200 news groups. No catch that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; except six stamps and $6.00 right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. WELL GUESS WHAT!!!..Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was shocked!! Let me tell you how and why this works. I promise you that if you follow th directions exactly that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!! Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) ! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off, it is decent; it's legal; and it is virtually no risk - If all the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become apart of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large= corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the three easy steps to success. STEP one: Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside of EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them. You now should have six sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-125- 2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses: 1)Isaiah Cross, 994 West Kendall, corona. CA 91720 2)R.I. De Tienne, 516 36th st., newport Beach, CA 92663 3) Ranson Bishop, Rt. 1 Box 204, Amoret, MO 64722 4) Dennis Ribble, RR3 Box 32-1b, Benton PA 17814 5)Mark Cornell, 5690 Louisville, RD. Lot 187, Bowling Green KY 42101 6)Tom Wood P.O. Box 173 Machiasport, ME 04655 STEP two: Now take the 1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (six becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as number 6 on the list. STEP three: Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!! This perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, all members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the 1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS!! STEP one: You do not need to retype this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply cut and paste. STEP two: Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various new groups (on- line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) STEP three: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by pasting it. Fill in the subject and postit. You're done. You're done with your first one! Congratulations....THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump news groups and post away. *REMEMBER THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200* That's it!! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days!! *JUST MAKE SURE ALL ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT* Now the why part: Assume for example you get a 7.5% return, which is very conservative. 1) When you mail 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00 2) Those 15 mails out 200 letters, 225 people will mail you $1.00 3) Those 225 mails out 200 letters, 3,375 people will mail you $1.00 4) Those 3,375 mails out 200 letters, 50,625 people will mail you $1.00 5) Those 50,625 mails out 200 letters, 759,375 people will mail you $1.00 By now your name has dropped off the list, but so far you have received at least $759,375.00!! With an original investment of only $6.00!! AMAZING!! When your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting in the news groups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. You have to remember and realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles every day, JUST LIKE YOU right now!!! People have said, "What if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!!! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest people who are joining every day and are willing to give it a try? Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and this will really work.

I have to TRANSLATE this text into Italian! Help me! :-(? BACKGROUND While employed by Marubeni America Corporation (“MAC”), the plaintiffs, Kevin Long (“Long”) and Ludvic Presto (“Presto”), used MAC computers, that were issued to them to perform their respective work assignments, to send and receive e-mail messages to each other and to their attorney. In doing so, the plaintiffs used private password-protected e-mail accounts. 2 During the time the plaintiffs were employed by MAC, MAC’s Employee Handbook, which Long, in his capacity as senior vice president and general manager, human resources, helped prepare, cautioned its employees that “all communications and information transmitted by, received from, created or stored in [MAC’s automated systems] (whether through word processing programs, database programs, e-mail, the internet or otherwise) are company records” and “MAC’s property.” The Handbook advised MAC employees to use MAC’s automated systems for “job-related purposes,” since “use of the systems for personal purposes are (sic) prohibited.” The Handbook advised further, that MAC had the right to monitor its automated systems and that its employees “have no right of personal privacy in any matter stored in, created, received, or sent over the e-mail, voice mail, word processing, and /or internet systems provided” by MAC. Unbeknownst to Long and Presto, MAC issued computers had an automatic administrative function that stored temporary internet files in a separate folder that was accessible only to authorized MAC employees. Retained within the folder were residual images of the plaintiffs’ e-mail messages. In the course of assembling documents for disclosure to the plaintiffs, MAC discovered approximately 3000 temporary internet files on the computers it had assigned to the plaintiffs. These files appeared to contain communications that implicated the attorney-client communication privilege. MAC segregated that material and advised the plaintiffs of its discovery. Thereafter, the Court directed the defendants to permit the plaintiffs to examine the 3000 files so that they might determine whether, in their view, any privileged communications resided in the 3000 files. If, after review, the plaintiffs determined that privileged 3 communications were within the files, they were directed to: (a) prepare a privilege log; and (b) serve that log on the defendants. The plaintiffs complied with the Court’s directive and produced a privilege log with 25 entries. As noted above, the plaintiffs allege that the 25 items noted in the log may be withheld from disclosure to the defendants because of the attorney-client communication privilege, the work-product doctrine, the joint client doctrine and/or the inadvertent disclosure doctrine. For their part, the defendants maintain that: 1) no attorney-client communication privilege attached to 25 items because the plaintiffs had no reasonable expectation of privacy when they used MAC’s computers and internet access to send e-mail messages, in contravention of MAC’s Electronic Communications Policy (“ECP”), as published in the MAC Employee Handbook; 2) the plaintiffs’ e-mail communications with each other are not protected by the work-product doctrine; 3) the inadvertent disclosure doctrine does not apply to the material at issue; and 4) the joint client doctrine was unilaterally waived by Long. To facilitate the resolution of this dispute, the Court reviewed, in camera, the 25 items identified in the privilege log. DISCUSSION Attorney-Client Privilege “The attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest recognized privileges for confidential communications.” Swidler & Berlin v. United States, 524 U.S. 399, 403, 118 S. Ct. 2081, 2084 (1998). The privilege, designed to facilitate openness and full disclosure between the attorney and the client, shields from discovery advice given by the attorney as well as communications from the client to the attorney. See Upjohn Co. v. United States, 449 U.S. 383, 101 S. Ct. 677 (1981). It permits a client to both refuse to disclose and prevent others from disclosing 4 confidential communications between himself and his legal representatives, made in pursuance of or in the facilitation of the provision of legal services to the client. See Mui v. Union of Needletrades, No. 97 Civ. 7270, 1998 WL 915901, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 30, 1998); Arcuri v. Trump Taj Mahal Associates, 154 F.R.D. 97, 101 (D.N.J. 1994). “When the same attorney represents the interests of two or more [persons] on the same matter, those represented are viewed as joint clients for purposes of [the attorney-client communication] privilege.” In re the Regents of the University of California, 101 F.3d 1386, 1389 (Fed. Cir. 1996). The burden of establishing that all the elements of the attorney-client communication privilege exist, rests with the party asserting the privilege. See United States v. Schwimmer, 892 F.2d 237, 244 (2d Cir. 1989). In the case at bar, that burden

Legal requirements for Tennessee Nonprofit Corps. to disclose financial statements to the general public? I'm actively involved with a organization that is chartered Nonprofit in the State of Tennessee. As of recently I am concerned that the financial well being of the organization is not being properly maintained. I am not an officer with the organization, and since the organization has no members (for legal reasons), I am technically not a member. For all intents and purposes I am part of the general public that happens to donate a couple hundred hours of service a month, as well as financial support to this organization. My question; Is there a relevant section of the Tennessee Revised Code for Nonprofit Corporations, that would require financial statements be reviewable to the general public?

In the USA do corporations have any constitutional rights that women don't have? I know the Equal Rights Amendment has not yet passed, so men and women are not equal (for example, men must register for the Selective Service and women can't register). I know corporations have won certain constitutional rights through the courts, like the right to free speech (collectively I believe these rights are referred to as "corporate personhood"). My question is, are there legal rights that women don't have that corporations do have? Can anyone think of any examples? Thank you, Mike Pryslak Miami, Florida

Who is lying: Obama or the former Inspector General?? (IG says he acted properly)? Obama co-sponsored a bill titled the Inspector General Reform Act of 2007 (S. 2324). The point of this bill was to stop a president from firing an Inspector General without a very good reason as well as notifying the Congress 30 days in advance. According to some in the Senate, Obama provided no good reasons. (other than he had "lost confidence" in him...why??) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090612/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_national_service_inspector_general_12 An inspector general fired by President Barack Obama says he acted "with the highest integrity" in investigating AmeriCorps and other government-funded national service programs. Gerald Walpin's job was to review grants awarded by AmeriCorps and its parent agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service. He told The Associated Press he has no doubt he acted properly in investigating Sacramento mayor and former NBA star Kevin Johnson. Obama told Congress on Thursday he had lost confidence in Walpin. As a result of Walpin's investigation, Johnson and the nonprofit St. HOPE Academy that he headed were ordered to repay about half of nearly $847,000 in federal grants they had received from AmeriCorps. Johnson is a political supporter of Obama. http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fuseaction=PressReleases.View&PressRelease_id=4bf66e42-feac-43ee-a924-767b09425347&Affiliation=C Specifically, the legislation will require that: - Congress is notified of any proposed removal of an IG, along with the reasons for the removal, in writing with 30-days notice. - All IGs must receive their own legal counsel or have access to the services of legal counsel of another Inspector General. This will allow them to avoid using agency counsels. - A Council on Integrity and Efficiency for Inspectors General must be established. Within the Council, an Integrity Committee must be created to receive, review, and refer for investigation allegations of wrongdoing that are made against Inspectors General or certain other staff members. - All IG websites are directly accessible from the home page of agency web sites. All IG reports must be posted on agency websites within 3 working days of their release. - The president’s budget submission must state how much money is being requested for each IG office, as well as the funding level the IG requested for the office. This will allow Congress to identify whether agencies are trying to interfere with the work of an IG office by cutting funding. - No IG may accept a bonus. - Presidentially appointed IGs must be paid at Level III of the Executive Schedule, plus three percent, and other IGs must receive compensation comparable to other senior level executives in the department. This is aimed at preventing agencies from discouraging qualified candidates by lowering pay. Senators Daniel Akaka (D-HI), Barack Obama (D-IL), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Tom Carper (D-DE) and Ted Stevens (R-AK) are co-sponsors of the legislation. Similar legislation introduced by Congressman Jim Cooper (D-TN) in the House of Representatives received overwhelming bipartisan approval with a vote of 404-11. DAR.............I have no doubt Obama would veto that bill if it were to pass.

If Democrats really want to increase taxes on the uber-rich. How about this idea? Right now we have one of the highest if not the highest taxes on corporations in the world. As a result jobs and companies are leaving at a high rate. Even smaller companies (like the one I work for) are looking to send the work they do outside of the USA. What can the US Government do to reverse this trend? I've a novel plan that should satisfy almost everyone. Before you say it's pure BS think about it. No corporate taxes at all. Over seas companies would be moving here, and in droves. And no federal taxes other than personal income taxes. I know your first thoughts are that can't possible work. But it can. I'll explain how. Corporations are in business to make money period. If they don't they don't stay in business. But although they want to make money that also don't want a lot of money lying around doing nothing. They want it working as well. So they put it to work. They renovate, renew, or rebuild their facilities. The purchase new equipment, update older equipment, retool, and other things like that. All these things means the money keeps moving. And when money moves someone makes a profit. Sooner or later all that money will end up with individuals in some shape, form, or fashion. HERE is where the taxes come in. Any salary, wage, commision, or benefit given to an individual is subject to being taxed. And here's where you start. If someone is living above the poverty line thay will pay some tax. How much will they pay depends on how far above the poverty line they are. No flat tax, but a graduated tax with no upper limit. It make no sense to tax someone making $40K at the same rate as someone who makes $40M a year. Democrats are always saying they ony want to increase taxes on the uber-rich while lowering the taxes on the lower and middle class people. Here's their chance. I'll leave it to the statisticians and mathmaticians to figure out how fast the percentage curve rises. And here's another thing that will make it work. All the loopholes in the present tax code will cease to exist. The only things you would be allowed to deduct would be for each member of the household(plus on additional deduction for special needs cases) and family health insurance. But other than that NO DEDUCTIONS. This years US Budget was about $3 Trillion (that's 12 zeros) to provide for every man, woman, and child, legal and illegal (about 300M) living in the USA. You do the math, I could have made a mistake. But doesn't that figure out to be about $10K each? I don't know about you but I'm not sure I got my $10K worth of services out of the Federal Government. How much of that was eaten up in buracracy. But that is an whole ball of worms. Let individuals pay all the taxes. What's wrong with that idea? G-gal- If you ask me this is about as fair as tax can get. A flat tax or sales tax hits really hard on the people that can least afford it. 10% tax on someone just over the poverty line knocks them back below the poverty line. 10% tax on someone who makes millions or billions and they never even notice it. E-smile. Under my idea there would be no advantage to play fast and loose with the companies books. Creative financing goes out the window. Companies only do that to avoid taxes. OH, and under my system before anyone claims a loss they have to actually lose something. Paper loses don't count! To all of you who said it wouldn't work. If' I've replied to you via E-mail I hope I answered your questions. To all of those I didn't reply to-- Shame on you for not allowing the discussion to continue because YOU wouldn't allow E-mail.

can an administrative body/board impose rules that are more restrictive than the state law the rule is based? a fairly new state law allows private persons or entities to contract with the state to provide a public service. A recent amendment requires the contractor to incorporate. The administrative board and legal department is not friendly to this provision so they have imposed a rule restricting the governance composition of these service providers. In other words, my board and I are liable and responsible for the operations and viability of our corporation, but the state board is now telling me who I can and cannot have on my corporate board. Again, the law does not require or allude to such things. I have not heard of a state agency ever reaching into private corporate governance and wonder if I should pursue action. We are told the state will not allow our corporations to continue contracting with the state unless we place or remove certain people from our boards. The restriction does not have to do with things like having clean criminal background checks- I could understand tha It's not related to conflicts of interest either, as that is stated in the law. They actually want the customers that we serve to be on our boards having an influence on how we carry out our service. Further, they want us to have elections from among the customers we serve to put some of these people on our private corporate board. I have never heard of a government agency having that much regulation over the governance of a private contractor. I can understand that the operations and outputs may need to meet standards, but who sits on our board seems over the top.
