Dada in Federal Court 7/17 .... leads to 4 days in jail

Barterer didn't say how much he'd chip in...but theres 2 of us. Come on folks, make CD fun and even profitable for those able to put their necks on the line!

$62.50? Pshaw. A bargain at twice the price.

I sometimes forget that people actually read Homeland Stupidity. Sometimes it feels like throwing words out to the winds.

Thanks for all the kind words and everything guys!  Michael thanks for the article on HS!

Does this mean a pledge total of $72.50 is the new total!?!
I think the amount we need is $120? Over half way there.
Come on People. With 7000+ members of the FSP (round it off to 7000) - if we each pledged a single dollar a month...we could finance CD in New Hamshire at $7000 a month!!!!
For now...let's cover Dave's ticket.

But... has Dave decided to just pay the fine? If so, I'll put $25 in the hat.

Ok...with Kat's pledge that brings it up to a total pledge of $97.50. If it was $125 (not the $120 I mentioned earlier) that leaves only $27.50 to cover the total cost.
As far as Dave deciding to pay or not...if he doesn't have to...it frees him to continue with his CD and NOT have to be personally penalized. Either way, it is his decision...but if we can cover the cost it might make it an easier decision for him to make.

The bullshit fine is $125.  I offered 62.50 assuming you'd split it with me.  I'll go $90 and pay the balance should Dave have a sudden need for $125.  I'm not joking about the Freedom Insurance credit though.  I'm Barterer, I don't just piss money away.

I understand your position Barterer...and if there is ever a Freedom Insurance 'business' why not get credit? But how about credit towards any fines YOU get for your CD activities?

Contributions to Dave's fine...and any other fines down the road for anyone involved in CD...pays us all back in results...so your need to get something back might not apply because you are already getting something back...our money supports them because of their willingness to put their butts on the line and pave the road to freedom until we get there.

The Insurance idea is fine...but not as an established, mainstream Insurance company. Here's my suggestion.

It's based on membership. For example...so far it's you, me and Kat. The bill is $125. If apportioned that would be $41.66 each. Add one more person (a new member) and it drops to $31.25 each. Add another...well, you get the idea.  With 7000 members in the FSP...a dollar a month would probably cover most of the current expenses.

Amounts paid are apportioned among the members: To keep it reasonable...set a limit. Say $100 a YEAR to begin with. So, the most any member would be billed would be $100. Since that?s a lot for some of us to pay out in one payment?break it down by monthly average. That equals a maximum of $8.33 a month charged to any member.

CD Signees: The category as I named it might not be clear. My meaning is this. So far, Kat, Russell and Dave are 3 names of people actively involved in CD. So, in this example...only those 3 are eligible for apportioned payments from the membership. Another caveat would be CD activities in NH only! (My apologies to all of you out of NH who are active--get to NH!)

Acceptable reasons for payments resulting from CD: Rent/mortgage payments if incarcerated; fines/court fees/child care/?????

Folks...I'm broke...but even I can find $8.33 a month to help pave the road to freedom in NH.  If we can make CD a break even at worst?profitable at best?we?ll all want to become a signee!

One more thing. Payments should be made with Postal Money orders?left blank. That means someone in NH will have to be willing to run this program?I will certainly participate once I get to NH.


Ok?Ideas? Suggestions?

You are excellent friends for helping Dave.

You have no idea how comforting it is to receive a check in the mail from an anonymous friend after going to jail for liberty.

I don't think coverage will include things like court fees or fines one might get for CD.. that's a direct risk.. unless the Freedom Insurance idea is expanded to include that.  The FI outline is here: http://forum.soulawakenings.com/index.php?&topic=5080

I accept Dave's paving my way to freedom as a valuable FI service    The activity does not have to be directly on my behalf.. I'm sure we'll all "collect" when broke and in trouble.. I'll watch this space to see what Dave is going to do.

Huh?  I didn't say anything.  I'm hoping he doesn't pay it.

[AmerTownCrier]

Has somebody been deleting posts from this thread? Kat, I could have sworn you said you would pitch in $25???

[Kat Kanning]

Well, error said he could.

[AmerTownCrier]

Well, error said he could.

You are sooooo right!  My sincerest apologies.
