    I will carefully update the Donor List tomorrow but I am so proud to say that we are likely OVER the $4,000 mark in generous donations from you.

    As I have said, it is my great hope to win, and reserve as much of the Fund as possible to help the next individual who gets jammed up with a bogus charge.

    It is my great hope that MSI can take custody of the Fund because I believe they are in the best position to do so.

    BOO yah!

    Outstanding! :party29:

    I don't know a whole lot about keeping money around, :o but would it be possible for the Fund to be in some sort of account that collects interest? I mean, why not let it grow on it's own, if it can :shrug: just a thought. The Feestate probably has rules about that though:rolleyes:

    Also...make sure MSI keeps it open so we can continue to drop in a little scratch whenever we can ;)

    Thank you Rack.......

    Et Al.... you members and supporters of the PPs.... You allow me to stand, and to march, and to display vicariously through you, my feelings about my rights to others throughout this country.

    You PP folks are great! :thumbsup:

    Probably best to keep it in an escrow account. Too easy for problems to arise when someone is playing with other peoples' money, and some of it evaporates.

    As for interest-bearing accounts, well, I just logged $0.02 in interest from my checking account last quarter.

    Nobody is making anything off of interest, that's for sure. We've got mid-five-figures parked in an account for a specific task, but need to keep it liquid. We always laugh at the monthly statement, where the earned interest wouldn't even buy a cup of coffee.

    If all the contributions were made payable to Rack, then they are gifts to Rack. Rack should/could then donate the money to MSI (I believe it can be earmarked for lawsuits).

    Start fiddling with escrow accounts, and unnecessary paperwork/rules & regs raise their ugly head. Keep it as simple as possible.

    I will have the updated donor list up in about 30 minutes!

    Might be a good idea to put donation info in the opening post? Perhaps even a separate thread for the purpose?

    Yes, I will do this!

    I have to say I second the idea i saw somewhere about the donors list being in the 1st post.

    Yes, I will cut a paste the Donor's List to the 1st post for easy reference, also.

    Thank you for your efforts to set up your mini-fundraiser! I will put $392 into the "checks" column to arrive at our updated total as of this week.

    It appears that are more envelopes arriving right up to the court date on Tuesday!

    As of today, Friday, August 24, the total amount donated is $4,117.00

    The donation breakdown goes like this:

    Checks/Money Orders $3,085
    Cash donations $640
    Buellsfurn Fundraising $392

    Many thanks to Cypherpunk for acting as intermediary and as a second set of eyeballs on this process! I will post the bank deposit slip totals after depositing these Batch 2 donations tomorrow. We will have another update after the weekend on checks that have arrived since early last week.

    Thank you all so much for helping me FIGHT THIS BOGUS CHARGE in court! With luck we will have a considerable amount left over for the continuing Legal Defense Fund going forward.
