I have heard that a corporation managing an LLC is best and provides the most protection. I don’t know which corporate structure as I need insurance and want to fund retirement programs for myself and my wife as well. I will be trading my own account with my own money and do have someone that can be an officer in the organization with me. No shares are needed unless they benefit me in some way. Thank you for your wisdom in advance.

Unless you will be trading on behalf of others you do not require the double protection of two entities. An S-Corporation to pass the gains and losses directly to yourself would be fine and you would be shielded from liability. If you want a separate tax vehicle, a standard C-Corporation or LLC will suffice.

I’m the president of a new student organization in the business discipline and I am trying to get corporate sponsors so that we can have more operating capital. There are some obvious things I can provide, like a Resume CD, but what are some other benefits that I can offer through my group?

Advertising – company name displayed on a banner or all publications. Business depend on name recognition so the more places (good places) it is seen the better. That is how the basketball team pays for their game programs – all those business card "ads" scattered on the pages. A press release is also an underused type of advertising. You call the local paper – this is small town stuff – to announce that XYZ company is sponsoring the BFD club at IOU high school thus allowing the BFD club to further the development of it’s members yadda yadda.

Organizations Annual Fly-In Makes Golden Age Come Alive for Enthusiasts

Founded in August of 1953 by Robert L. Taylor, the Antique Aircraft Association is the worlds oldest organization specifically devoted to antique and classic aircraft. Committed to keep the antiques flying, the AAA has dedicated its fifty-six years to the preservation of this Golden Age of Aviation. AAA members have access to the organizations vast historical library, as well as its large assortment of spare engine and aircraft parts available to assist in restoration projects.

With twenty active chapters across the U.S., the AAA works closely with many type clubs including the Interstate, Culver, Corben, Fairchild, Great Lakes, Pietenpol, Rearwin, Parakeet, Hataz, and Travel Air clubs. The organizations headquarters, located near Blakesburg, Iowa, at Antique Field, serves as a site for numerous type club fly-ins throughout the season. Antique Field is also the home to the Airpower Museum, Incorporated (APM). Featuring a large collection of aircraft, the facility has over 20,000 square feet of display and storage space.

Every year over Labor Day Weekend, the Antique Aircraft Association holds its annual AAA/APM Fly-In and Convention. This year, the event celebrated the early days of corporate aviation, themed as Corporate Wings. In all, over 360 aircraft, including an impressive turnout of Howard aircraft, visited Antique Field during the fly-in. Aero-TV spoke with Brent Taylor, son of Robert Taylor, about the event, the organizations history, as well as the familys continued passion for the aircraft of yesteryear.

I am asked to list a few charitable organizations (NGO’s) for a corporate doantion from my company. What are the parameters/data should I collect to verify that that donation is going in the right hands?

The organization, if it’s in the USA, should be listed at http://www.guidestar.org; if it’s not, it’s not for real. I’ve got links to other countries’ versions of guidestar at:
http://www.coyotecommunications.com/volunteer/vetting.html

The organization should also provide to you:
– the history and mission of the organization
– the financial report of its most recent fiscal year
– statistics showing how many people this organization serves, what impact they have on the community, etc.
– impact statements/testimonials about the organization’s work
– names of board members
– name and credentials of Executive Director, and other key staff as appropriate
– how the organization involves volunteers (involving volunteers shows that the organization allows members of the community to come in and see what the organization does first hand)
– letters of recommendation from OTHER organizations or city or state officials, and/or copies of newspaper articles that profile the organization’s work
– a proposal for what they want to use a donation from your company

This is all BASIC information. 90% of it are things the organization should have in hand ready to hand out at a moment’s notice. A nonprofit that doesn’t have most of these items ready for review is, IMO, not well-run.

Remember that nonprofits have to pay rent on their facilities, pay staff to do their jobs, etc. Please don’t punish an organization for having administrative costs — paying for, say, a copy machine does NOT take money away from those a charity serves. In fact, it may allow an organization to serve even more people.

DOCUMENTED: Tea Party Racism – Fake grass roots (astroturf) organization grows out of a hatred of non-whites and hatred of a black president. Post this video to your blog or website. Help get the word out about the TRUTH regarding Tea Party Racism. For an animated GIF of this presentation to post to your page or website (very small file), go here: http://twitpic.com/11yovq

TEA PARTY RACISM: America’s corporate media has been covering up the fact that the Tea Party is based on bigotry, hatred and especially racism toward African-Americans. The Tea Party and “teabaggers” blow away the myth of a “post racial” America. Watch this video and see for yourself the well documented history of Tea Party racism that America’s corporate media has been hiding from the world.

If I applied to a non-profit corporation for a membership (5.00/year) and they refused my membership without giving an explanation of exactly why other than that "they believe I do not support the objectives of the society" without giving an explanation of what I have done to make them believe this.. can I take them to court using a statement of claim? Or how does one proceed?
They (CAS) also refuse to allow me to read the by-laws. I am simply an advocate who works to improve child welfare, non-violent, not aggressive but do speak to the press and to the Government regarding issues in the system.

No you can’t–it’s called freedom of association. In order to be free to associate with whom you choose, it is necessary to have the ability to exclude those with whom you do not choose to associate. One requires the other. Hence, you can still join the Boy Scouts of America, as long as you’re a boy,,,and not gay,,,or, at least, if you are gay, no one knows.

(The only exception I’ve ever heard is where the application for membership, if any, implies a promise to admit you in some way. The action is for breach of an implied promise that caused you some type of injury.)

In this fake trailer, Noah Bennet is a member of a secret organization whose mission is to track down people with super human powers. Noah believes in the company. Enough to live a double life and lie to the ones that matter to him the most. But when his daughter manifests super human abilities of her own, Noah sacrifices everything to save her from the company. Clips are used from NBC’s Heroes, airing mondays at 9pm, which was created by Tim Kring.

I checked the major business databases and they are not listed.

If this is some "employment opportunity," then it is definitely a scam.

I’d definitely stay away.

6. If we look at the corporation as a legal person, it exhibits all the characteristics of a psychopath using a personality diagnostic checklist by the World Health Organization.

If YES, then make certain to vote against any and all incumbent members of Congress running for reelection in your district who voted in favor of the 700 Billion taxpayer recapitalization of private investment firms and others who made bad investments!

We must vote out each and every member of the House and Senate who banded themselves together into a compact organization and allowed the corporate force and fraud to go unmolested by the law!

What say you?

Over the past 100 years, international corporations have been working to seize ever increasing amounts of political power to thwart the working class from having any real safety from their greed. It is amazing how we have been told that international trade agreements are in our best interests while watching companies get shipped over seas or our work gets outsourced to other (less paying) countries.

All who voted for the infamous buyout should not necessarily be blamed for their vote – they may honestly have seen no better solution.
Instead, vote out those politicians who fought for protecting Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac – Rep Franks for example.
To tell us as recently as a month before the crash that all was well and that they were offended by any and all who asked for investigations into what those institutions were doing is nothing short of criminal.
News papers ought to leave the 1900’s methods of gaining readership behind – note their sensationalized reporting of the Spanish/American War or World War One, or Vietnam!
Instead, try daily coverage of what goes on in the state and national governments so that what they are doing and saying will come to light quickly. Lets start reading the track records of our elected officials and start voting out incompetence and self-interests.
