The Bankruptcy issue & The 2011 controversial election
In 2001, MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay owed so much money that she had to declare bankruptcy. Now, as Minister of National Revenue, the politician from British Colombia is in charge of a $4.3 billion budget. For political experts, the situation raises many questions.
Here is a “live feed” that will pick up every tweet that uses the hashtag #StopFatca
Please help get this message out – join our Tweet brigade!
Canadians have until Wednesday* – really 3 days – prior to transmission on Sept 23
Other Model 1 IGA countries have a week more – 10 days – prior to transmission on Sept 30

I am working on this post and it will be constantly updated. Please act ASAP!
We want to get this blasted all over the world before September 29. Every US Person abroad needs to put the same pressure on their own governments TO STOP THE EXCHANGES FROM TAKING PLACE as all Model 1 IGA’s require turnover of information by September 30. Each government has TO ACTUALLY REQUEST THIS EXTENSION FROM THE IRS, so members need to take responsibility for making sure their respective tax authority/government does so. A widget on this post will show any tweets using the hashtag #StopFatca so all can see which countries the message is being spread from.
