Day Three Of Crowdfunder- Weighing Conflicts of Interest

Tweet This   http://goo.gl/wbeMbN Day Three of my campaign is another day of coming up empty and as the hour approaches when I must decide whether to take the deal or not, I have a lot of considerations to weigh including most significantly the use of my time. We have an understaffed business with many huge challenges to meet and on top of that a lot of work to do for probate.  At least 300% of my energy is needed for that meaning my plate is already too full. However our business exists in a larger context and the way I see things the context and our own personal place with in it are inseparably part of each other. One of my earliest childhood memories was sitting in the field and thinking of my world. I thought first there is me and then my family and then the community and so on until there was the whole world. That was a world in which the atomic bomb has just been created and I gave the world only twenty five years- but I was wrong on that score. However it did affect the

MISSION: To Connect Global Popular & Local Understanding

I thank George Colby, whom I know via FaceBook, for his generosity, The other night I watched the premier of a new series on cable, Mr Roberts, Twenty or even ten years ago, the series would be considered science fiction but our contemporary world has already caught up with fiction and is now driving the story line. It is an age old theme about a secret sect of  the powerful who control the world, They go by different names-the most known name today is probably the Bilderberg Group. The series features such a corporate group secretly controlling the entire world through the E corporation, which the protagonist calls the Evil Corporation. The protagonist is a tech savvy young man- a security specialist working for the E Corporation. The series features a running narrative by the protagonist. A line that caught my attention was when the protagonist said "they force us to work for the

Networking Essential For A Successful Crowdfunder And Developing Such A Network Is It's Purpose

TWEET THIS  http://goo.gl/qsSdsq As you can see I am doing a crowdfunder in an attempt to raise the resources to take advantage of a 50% discount on iuniversal's program for self publishers . It is no surprise that I raised no funds on the first day because I am what you call an outlier blogger, which means in essence that I am not connected to a network of people working or supporting what I do. My mission in bringing the information and point of view that I present in my blog is to affect change in the entrenched political paradigm in Maine, and the USA,including the media. Crowdfunding depends on networking and I lack a network, which is why I want to be part of the Iuniversal program, a program which connects self published authors to community of professionals in the self publishing industry.It will help to build a network. I do not get paid for writing my blog and so it is not easy to find the time and focus to put the information I have gathered and the ideas that I

A Lttle Help From My Freinds !

Tweet This  http://goo.gl/csPTn3 Greetings to my freinds and supporters: I have written over three hundred blog posts mostly on the subject of researching Maine economic development statutes. In the process I have developed an in depth understanding of the history and interconnectedness of Maine's economic development policies. For some timeI have been thinking of writing a book on the subjects that I have explored in this blog . I would like to time the publication of such a book to have its most impact in the months leading up to the next election. I have been offered a 50% discount on a self publishing program if I take it by Monday June 29, 2015. The self publishing program will connect me with an online community for self publishing and help me with every phase from organizing my material into a book form to marketing. I found a crowdfunding site for journalism, It takes a day for project approval.  My Crowdfunder is now launced on Beacon- Here I The Live Li

Tweet This   http://goo.gl/br7pv0 Beacon POD Cast June 12, 2015 – The New Markets scam Download file  | Duration: 31:54 | Size: 29.2M In this episode of the Beacon podcast, Maine People’s Alliance political director Ben Chin interviews  Joel Johnson , an economist for the Maine Center for Economic policy, and attempts to make the deliberately-complicated New Markets tax credit scam (through which out-of-state corporations have fleeced the Maine taxpayers of more than $30 million) a little more understandable. This Beacon POD Cast is presented by Mike Tipping, Bangor Daily News Journalist  and Director of the  Maine People's Alliance , who tells us in his introduction that Chin and Johnson are going to "dig a little deeper" into the New Markets Tax Credi t and repeats the ubiqutous media line that one of the reasons why the scam hasn't caused more public outrage and government action is because it is "so deliberately complicated". This line is th
