We are working on the website to use for ADCS/ADSC fundraising for our legal challenge. We already have some quotes from Canadians across Canada.
We would also like to include quotes from our friends around the world. We have two quotes, but would like more.
If you live outside Canada and will contribute a quote of two or so sentences about how you feel about FATCA, please send it to Lynne Swanson at maplesandbox at yahoo dot ca by Friday May 2. Please also include a sentence on why you think the Canadian legal challenge is important.
If you use the french language, please provide your comment in french as well.
To protect your privacy, we will not use your real name, so please provide a suggested alias. Please also include your country.
If you are interested, you can also post your comment on Brock.
Thanks.
Hello International Friends,
If you live outside of Canada we are looking for quotes from you for our legal challenge website about how you feel about FATCA.
I will contact @blaze by email
Dear brockers. .. could someone provide a contact mail address to reach one of the brockers like Petros, Lynne Swanson, GWEvil, Dr Kish, etc.? so that I can send a comment for the ADCS/ADSC website?
thank you !
@crystal london
Lynn put an email in the original post, but disguised to fool spambots; decrypt(!) “maplesandbox at yahoo dot ca” and you’ll have it.
HI Watcher
thanks, so if i mail my comment to [e-mail address link deleted – maplesandbox at gmail dot com] it will get to Lynne?
sorry I have my Stupid Head on here after a long day
Yes CrystalinLondon it will reach me at that address–except use lower case m in maplesandbox, not M.
Could someone quickly take down the direct e-mail address in Crystal’s comment. When it is posted like that on line, I am inundated with requests to send $8 million to Nigeria, news that I won a cruise to the Bahamas but i need to send $1200 for taxes, marriage proposals, etc.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a generous benefactor for our legal challenge that way! If there are any out there, please contact me! maplesandbox at yahoo dot ca
Dear Blaze
thank you and mega apologies for the direct link……..
Hi Crystal and Blaze,
I deleted the link and spelled out the e-mail address.
I just emailed this to you. Hope it helps. Thank you so much for your work.

From a “tax compliant” old lady who now lives in fear of the US that she still loves, and who is horrified by its quest to lassoo all “US persons” into its system even when their lives are lived entirely outside the US.
Whatever justifications may be claimed for citizenship-based taxation, these are surely negated by the vindictive size of the reporting penalties associated with “foreign” assets, which make FATCA feel more like a mass xenophobia, presumably occasioned by the tragedies of 9/11 and the hardships of the recession.
If your efforts can persuade Canada to stand up for true “liberty and justice for all”, it may hopefully encourage the US to return to doing the same. Lead on!
I’ll keep an eye out.
