The 527 would be inappropriate for this sort of organization - it would have to go full LLC )already done) then we'd have to ask IRS nicely for 5-1(c)(3) status. The good thing about 501 is you can begin operations immediately, and when IRS gets around to granting status, it's retroactive.<br /><br />A 501 with this mission would need a Board of at least 4 people, a chairman/CEO, a Treasurer who is 100% responsible for all money and, finally - a set of bylaws that makes what the organization can/ban not do written in stone.<br /><br />The bylaws are the live/die rules of the orgainazation - and changing them MUST be nearly impossible.<br /><br />There will be more of this in coming days/weeks. One thing for everyone who is currently paying for several monthly dues - CQB, etc, Life Members would probably have all that rolled into the perks of membership.<br /><br />More later.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-8496747027650603792014-05-25T08:30:53.571-07:002014-05-25T08:30:53.571-07:00There is no reason why this could not fly.

We must know what the funds will be used for. Will one fund support operations and stuff needed AND the III to III ? Will the funds be split? Are we using the 527? Or starting another account? Im in.

Donations go into a specific PayPal account such as III to III or even Chaplains Fund. The fund is administer by elected leaders at the recommendation of the Chaplaincy Corp. Limited people in the know, chaplains keep secrets very well and there is less embarrassment. Still damn hard to over-come our upbringing: "Give charity never accept it".

Sam Kerodin has written a fair bit on the topic over the last week or so. I believe he made it clear that a group of individuals (let's call it a joint task force) is working on a list of "gear" to outfit the T.O.C. No one could fault you for preferring to donate something tangible in lieu of currency. However, in the interest of intellectual honesty, I point you to Kerodin's May 15th 3:21 p.m. post entitled <i>"Just a Heads-Up: III MILITIA."</i> Toward the end of that post -- approx. three paragraphs from the bottom -- he writes. <br /><br />"...Money for this venture should have oversight by multiple trustworthy Patriots. I have some in mind, I have not yet asked them. I will reach out when the time is right." <br /><br />http://iiipercent.blogspot.com/2014/05/just-heads-up.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-70532884949416326432014-05-23T13:51:38.857-07:002014-05-23T13:51:38.857-07:00CC you mat not have met Sam but I have; from my v...CC you mat not have met Sam but I have; from my view he is very careful about how he handles others' $$$; I know this from personal experience...

I asked for $100 because in fundraising the reality is simple - if you ask for $5 most people will give you $5. For the task of getting the T.O.C. operational, we need bigger chunks.<br /><br />I'm not taking any of your comment personally. There will come a time when we ask for people to make materiel contributions instead of cash. A group of us are making those lists now. But the reality is that having all the gear in the world on our T.O.C. won't accomplish a thing if people aren't willing to help us put fuel in the tank.<br /><br />You do not know, you can not know, "100 percent fact" that the money you submit gets spent where we claim it will be spent. What you can do is look at the track record I have accumulated with other Patriots to help inform your opinion. I have been online for nearly 4 years. I have satisfied several thousand IIIGear orders (granted, once in a while with a hiccup, but they all get sorted), and the Patriots who read this blog have worked with me to buy radio time and get our radio ad on air, we've started a firearms company, we've got a growing community of Patriots moving to live near one another on an X on a map. We've secured a facility on Main Avenue in that town and remodeled for a Dojo/Yoga facility in the III name, the rent for which gets paid by the Kerodins (Patriots DID help us with gear & cash for inside), we've hosted a PatCom, and I won't even begin to describe how many Patriots we've helped very quietly when they needed a few bucks.<br /><br />We also know that I am not an unknown quantity - You mentioned Beck. That one went well. I've been in every major MSM medium on the planet as well, who don't like me much. I have been at Brock's the last four events, I was at Mercer, and before that with TL and CA in DC, I was with many Patriots at he Memorials last October, and I hosted dozens of CQB classes from coast to coast and border to border over the course of just one summer.<br /><br />As for the T.O.C. - my wife and I bought that, cash out of pocket, and donated it to the III to get this project rolling. We could have easily sold it instead and put several thousands of dollars back into our own account.<br /><br />I'm no homeless man seeking $5 or a sandwich. I am a Patriot having to do the fucking embarrassing task of asking other Patriots to help us defend this country and the few damned people in it who deserve being defended.<br /><br />If you sense my mood is agitated, you are correct. It is not at you for your comment, that is fair.<br /><br />My attitude comes from having to be the guy always putting my hand out and damn-near begging people to help in their own flippin' defense. And it is almost ALWAYS the same people who answer the call - and that's just not f'n fair.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-20748154419364993492014-05-23T10:26:55.011-07:002014-05-23T10:26:55.011-07:00The fucking Unions contribute to the demise of Lib...The fucking Unions contribute to the demise of Liberty as a conduit for the Demoncrat Party. Not saying the Republicrats are any better, but in my past I belong to 3 different types of Unions. Even back then I fucking hated them, UPS (teamsters) being the icing on the cake. Dictating who I am to vote for?! Yeah, not so much. I never got anywhere with Union dues, but this idea, at least as a III Patriot, I can foresee the genuine impact and success for our community. <br /><br />The only caveat I have is that $8 and $12 seem like odd numbers to me. Just round it to $10 and $15. I would gladly pay $120 for the year up front and be done with it. <br /><br />Also, we need to funnel these funds appropriately. B commented on my 2nd Sandman post and I cannot flame him cause he is right. How do they know it's not a scam. Also, this collection can really cause a rift cause if another situation arises of a Patriot needing help, how are we triaging the needs? We all may think our problems are more important than our brethren, but we would need a structure for that. This really needs to be a think tank discussion before solidifying its outcome.

How about lowering it down to $25.00?<br /><br />Another idea I had too. I don't like donating money to anyone. I have never met you. I don't know you except for the blog and the Glen Beck interview. How do I know for a "one hundred percent fact" that this money will absolutely go towards the T.O.C and not be spent on a hot tub in Idaho? <br /><br />Please let me explain, I have been lied to before and I don't like losing money. I would actually feel a whole lot better about sending you equipment needed for the T.O.C. I would need photo's maybe posted on your blog at some point or something showing some of the gear I purchased being used. <br /><br />It's like this. I could give a homeless man five dollars for a sandwich (and he will buy a bottle of booze) or I could buy him a sandwich.<br /><br />Kerodin, maybe put out a list of "needed equipment" and some of us and can send stuff via Amazon or Sportsmans Guide or something. <br /><br />Please don't think of me being untrusting. Corruption runs rampant where large amounts of money are being thrown around at a rapid rate. I would rather give a man without boots a pair of boots and eliminate the middle man who would take the boot laces and sell them for cash on the side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-25201816015322245462014-05-23T05:26:14.718-07:002014-05-23T05:26:14.718-07:00Yes, I would support this model.Yes, I would support this model.LiberTarHeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957414837617216970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-52751305851428555392014-05-23T02:28:59.795-07:002014-05-23T02:28:59.795-07:00I am willing to contribute financially in a regula...I am willing to contribute financially in a regular and ongoing manner - in fact, I have been...
