Well, the shoes start to drop. 3 days ago the organizers of this event Belinda Bee and somebody named Bill, decided they needed to offset the $120 they spent on the permit (which is refunded if you get a NO) and set up...you guessed it, A DONATION SITE!
Here was the questionable rationale...
The goal? Drumroll please....$25000!
Huh? For what? What Expenses?
Here are some of the initial comments...
And then the expected response...
Gee, what USMB members does THAT sound like? BTW - What's a "whinny"?
This is the good part, Belinda stopped the donations 2 days ago because, well, they got enough donations to cover uhhhh, the expenses. Mysteriously yesterday THEY TURNED IT BACK ON after a little bird whispered in their ear..."ARE YOU FRAKKING NUTS! THIS IS A GOLDMINE" (Probably Bill)
But that's okay, they pledge to give anything over 25000 as a donation to first responder...heheh. Who's watching that?
DONATIONS TO DATE...almost 32000.
Let me see, that's 7 for you and 25 for me...

Here was the questionable rationale...
FOLKS THE EVENT ORGANIZERS OF THE ABOVE RIDE ARE RUNNING LOW ON FUNDS. ALL PROCEEDS HAVE COME OUT OF THEIR PERSONAL POCKETS. IF YOU COULD HELP US WE (ALL ADMIN TEAM) WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL. SADLY, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL OUR SAVINGS!
THIS EVENT IS NOT A 501c3 ...WE ARE 2 INDIVIDUALS WHO TOOK A PIPE DREAM AND TURNED INTO WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE AN HONOR RIDE FOR THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF 911.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DONATING TO THIS CAUSE, IT IS SIMPLE, DON'T DONATE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE NEED TO FUND THIS EVENT SOMEHOW / SOMEWAY. WE HAVE ALREADY USED ALL OUR RESOURCES.
**ANY LEFT OVER WILL GO TO AN INDIVIDUAL 1ST RESPONDER WE HAVE PERSONALLY CHOSEN WHO STILL SUFFERS FROM THE EFFECTS OF 911**
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
The goal? Drumroll please....$25000!
Huh? For what? What Expenses?
Here are some of the initial comments...
"What if anything have you spent money for? We all spend money for flags and gas so I need you to tell us what costs money! P>S> Candy Crush and pet adoption does not count!"
"Hi I would like to know what the money we donate will be used for?"
"I was going to donate, but I see everyone is offering so many prayers! Jesus will take care of everything! You won't need any money." (My FAV)
"IF you donate understand that the money is going to two people, Belinda Bee and Bill (Maybe) there is no expenses because no permit $120 was requested and also there is no legal fight because there is no cause for legal battle, if you want to give away your money to Belinda, good for you, this event will happen anyway. Even the Internet admins are unpaid volunteers, I was one of them..."
And then the expected response...
"To the ASSHOLES asking where the money is going. Fuck You ! How dare anyone question that ! Go question YOUR politicans about THEIR shit first ! From the start the Admin. Organizers have stated REPEATEDLY where its going. There ARE other expenses beside what is going to the ones in need. Do you think "Chump Change" can meet all the needs for funds for pulling off THIS GREAT HUGE HISTORIC PATRIOTIC EVENT !!!! People are STILL taking out of their own pockets for this, AND ALL OF US, YOU INCLUDED ! So SHUT THE FUCK UP ! You dont like or worry how things are handled then just GO AWAY ! Just sit back then & wait for OUR "great" government to continue, as they have, to do the right thing & APPEASE YOU you whinny spinless fuck !"
Gee, what USMB members does THAT sound like? BTW - What's a "whinny"?

FOLKS ~ THE LEGAL FIGHT WITH THE PERMIT AND THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT IS TURNING OUT TO BE AN INCREDIBLE RIDE, WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ASK YOU GOOD FOLKS TO HELP WITH THE FINANCES "IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT".
