>>>Abdoul, thanks for your input. With all the noise, the account has been
>>>residing in Atlanta, since September and not in Illinois. I'm just
>>>keeping
>>>the books. I don't know about Atlanta, but in Illinois you cannot open
>>>an
>>>account as a not for profit without registering with the state,
>>>especially
>>>with the current terrorism climate. The issue was registering the fund
>>>and
>>>the accusations that ensued. Remember, we are talking about registering
>>>a
>>>fund that has a political purpose, not for music production, etc. But,
>>>since folks are licking their chops about how easy it is to register the
>>>fund, well they are Gambian just as Joe and Saloum, let them just deliver
>>>and it's as good as gold. Saloum also volunteered to invite lawyers to
>>>see
>>>whether we can do as the Cubans, Israelis, etc., contrary to the
>>>misinformation abound. For those interested, way back in June or July I
>>>had listed all the reasons why we cannot legally, and it is in the
>>>archives
>>>for folks to reference, and that is after meeting with Bank One
>>>officials.
>>>Saloum's strategy was to try to do like the Cubans, not trying to fit a
>>>circle in a square as it's been mongered.
>>>
>>>"Depending on the nature of the organization, my suggestion to Joe is to
>>>apply for one for the main purpose of depositing the contributions. It
>>>is
>>>really not a difficult thing to do."
>>>
>>>Abdul, the above cannot be done in Illinois, may be in Atlanta. If
>>>anyone
>>>is reading from Illinois, please give a contrary fact to mine if it
>>>exist.
>>>We registered the Gambian Association in Chicago and had to register with
>>>the state, even to just open an account, because that is how the state
>>>keeps tab as to what org. should pay taxes and those that don't. Totally
>>>different from an individual account. We have been talking about this
>>>for
>>>almost six months, I'm surprised as to why folks from other states that
>>>do
>>>not require registration did not step in. Or, is that not the case?
>>>
>>>I had also suggested to Dr. Saine, George Sarr, Kebba Foon, et al to open
>>>an account in the Gambia to circumvent this problem, back in April.
>>>However, now I see it is a new idea coming from George. I also consulted
>>>with Soffie Ceesay as to how they did it for the April 10 victims, but
>>>you
>>>cannot just walk in a bank in Illinois and tender any name that is not
>>>yours and open an account without registering with the state. Boy, Drug
>>>Dealers may just want to relocate to Atlanta. It does not cut it in
>>>Illinois. You have to register with the state! The rules may be
>>>different
>>>in Atlanta or other states.
>>>
>>>"The bank will ask for a tax identification and in some rare cases an
>>>article of association."
>>>
>>>Abdul, in Illinois, the GAC had to do the above and much more to have an
>>>account named "The Gambian Association of Chicago", so we do not pay
>>>taxes
>>>and thus cannot engage in certain activities and discriminatory
>>>practices.
>>>I also approached the GAC to use our tax ID to open the account for the
>>>fund, but was voted down, yes we had to vote.
>>>
>>>"I really don't think that opening a bank account should be tied to
>>>registering the fund."
>>>
>>>Again, Abdul, in Illinois, you have to. Besides, registering of the
>>>account has always been the issue, so crooks like Joe and kebba will not
>>>steal the collections. :-)!
>>>
>>>"This way people can write their contributions in the name of Save The
>>>Gambia rather than the individuals name."
>>>
>>>Abdul, believe me the last thing I need is to be in charge of anyone's
>>>money but mines, especially in this instance. Kebba, if you are reading,
>>>you heard Abdul, so let the magic work.
