Vern Irish co-partner on the website almost-free.info we are in Northern Michigan. A friend of ours helped us find some good informational products so we came up with almost-free.info and thought we would give the internet a shot for making some extra money since my partner and I recently lost our jobs . I (we) are looking for insight on how to do this properly and get ourselves noticed on the web with no money to invest as we at this time are at 0.00 dollars to our name. My original thought was to just start a website and ask for folks to just send us a dollar and it blossomed into www.almost-free.info. I stumbled across ning looking for ways to promote our website and then joined your group so I'm looking to promote and get helpful info suggestions have someone with better qualifications to look our site over and see if we are on the right track. I also would like to thank everyone for the warm welcomes and new friends and I hope to get to know you all better.
my site again is
www.almost-free.info Please check it out and Thanks.

Hi vern , THANK YOU for your "Friend Add," in response to my recent Michigan FairTax post.

For this movement to gain mass attention, we need to build an army capable of garnering 500,000 Michigander signatures in late 2009 / early 2010 in order to qualify for the 2010 November election. Having a list of over 20,000 members - and growing daily, we are now focusing on developing computer-using members for reasons discussed below.

Register email; request Wiki access to get active
Adding your email to our list gives us an indication of interest and will keep you apprised of basic milestones. However, we do not email state-wide very often - and, in fact, we are moving the broader activist mission to a new private "wiki" for those who wish to help spread the word beyond family and friends.

Don't know what a "wiki" is? Take 4 minutes to view this excellent little video vignette. We're moving to a wiki, over email, because it's...

- permission-based you must "request access"
- a more powerful project-creation and coordination tool
- subscriber-run, "bottom-up" command and control

To recap: Act by "joining our army", as an interested Michigander. You'll receive an immediate confirmation email. Within a day, you'll receive our formal welcoming / orientating email which will also provide you with a link to our Community Leadership Wiki, where you can volunteer for leadership, or simply provide support in defined Functional Areas support.

Together, you and I will restore a tax system that serves Michigan's workers and businesses, instead of serving politicians and lobbyists !

Hi vern , As a Michigan-based entrepreneur, it is ESSENTIAL that you actively support TRUE Michigan TAX REFORM in order to make capital accumulation easier to start new businesses. For too long, Michiganders have been victims of our state's legislators. Most recently, under the guise of fixing our tax system, the legislature enacted the Michigan Business Tax. Trouble is, the MBT still remains a "gross receipts" tax, levying a tax even if a business isn't profitable - which was the problem with the Single Business Tax it was designed to replace. The MBT continues to penalize entrepreneurship and productivity, and Michigan is rapidly losing businesses, jobs, and families - daily !

The Michigan FairTax plan - a movement started by working, "salt of the earth," Michiganders - is your call to action to enact a rational tax plan that will stop legislators from being able to barter our tax system to pick winners and losers (like providing "tax expenditures" for the MOVIE INDUSTRY) - all at our expense! Our goal is to SCRAP the Michigan income tax because the system is broken. Working together, you and I (there are thousands of us), can get the word out about a fairer, progressive consumption tax - the Michigan FairTax. In order to give Michigan voters the power to choose, we are laying the groundwork for a ballot drive to get the Michigan FairTax on the 2010 general election ballot.

For The Facts- End income tax returns, audits, interest, penalties and 1/2 the lobbyists in LansingThe Michigan FairTax will both simplify, and stimulate, Michigan's business / jobs climate in a dramatic and ongoing manner. It will replace the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale) while un-taxing all purchases up to poverty level - this means no more withholding of state tax from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks.

What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size (.0975 x $ [ poverty level per family size] ). This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending. Thus, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending up to the monthly poverty level, thereafter it would be 9.75%. A reasonable average effective rate, inferred, would be about 5.5% (that's without putting anything away!) Monies placed into savings are not available to spend, and therefore would result in a further effective tax rate reduction.

~ Become a part of this citizen-based movement! ~

(We seldom email state-wide, generally notifying members nearby to events or initiatives.)

- - -


Under a FairTax system, points of collection will be dramatically reduced (from millions of individuals to considerably fewer retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax). With a Michigan FairTax, income tax-- returns, audits, interest, and penalites vanish.

Goods prices & service fees carry income / payroll tax compliance costs - "a hidden tax," ultimately paid by us. The FairTax will externalize these costs, making them visible. Michigan exporters will then be able to jettison the FairTax, prior to shipment, making Michigan products more competitive, globally. The MI FairTax is NOT applied to non-retail, business-to-business purchases, as this inseparably embeds taxation costs in prices of finished goods and services.

This plan is revenue neutral, as it-- ends "first fruit" confiscation of wages, stops the practice of hiding consumer taxes in retail prices, makes the true cost of gov't visible, and properly pays for gov't as we meet personal and family needs. Take action! - JOIN OUR TAX REFORM ARMY to bring Michigan back!

- - -

Made popular by the federal FairTax bill (H.R. 25, which was either co-sponsored or otherwise endorsed by several 2008 presidential candidates), this approach to taxation reaches across the political spectrum

Mike Gravel (D) - Mike Huckabee (R) - Ron Paul (Libertarian R)

Why the FairTax idea is right for America's working families.

Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded U.S. gov't obligations, about $53 $88 trillion and counting !!

To be clear: This is a Master Resource List - just because it's a year old doesn't mean you won't be referring to it time and time again!

This resource guide contains:

Over 100 Social Networking Sites (i.e. MySpace, Squidoo, etc..)
Over 150 Social Bookmarking Sites(i.e. StumbleUpon, Digg, etc..)

Hi Vern, This is Dorothy from the Miracles Group Coaching Program. I found an opportunity you might be interested in to add to you current business. It is ZenZuu. Have you already heard of it? Maybe this one could make us both live in abundance. At least it's free. ;-)


I just joined 3 weeks ago and haven't done much marketing yet. Actually, you are my first "invite." There is absolutely no pressure from me here. Okay? I am only telling you because I know your situation and the price on ZenZuu works for my budget (still waiting for abundance to manifest - which it WILL) so it might work for yours too.

Are you able to get on the Thurs. night calls at all? The next one isn't until Jan. 8th. If you still don't have a phone and/or long distance, I could three-way you in. Let me know what you think.

I hope your holidays are magnificently magical and may 2009 see our financial situations only abundant. I know you feel like me, we are blessed in many many ways, but financial security is the goal. Wouldn't be nice to have enough money to help all the people (and animals in my case) you want to, without limit. Let's believe together!

Miraculously,
Dorothy aka DottieCat
