2. Please Fly a Flag on 9/11 |
|
Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this Email to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward it. If you forward this email to at least 11 people and each of those people do the same, you get the idea. On September 11th, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on the anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you. Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day. Ken V wears a flag tie, flag shorts, and a flag pin. |

Recent Cases: 3. State v. Erazo, Police properly administered Miranda warning |
Defendant voluntarily went to the police station to give a witness statement. At the police station, defendant was interviewed twice. During his first interview, defendant was not in custody and thus not yet owed Miranda warnings. The factors set forth in O’Neill therefore do not need to be considered to assess the admissibility of the second interview. And before police interviewed defendant the second time, they properly administered Miranda warnings. With his rights in mind, defendant executed a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary waiver. During his second interview, defendant confessed. Neither the Fifth Amendment nor state common law calls for suppression of defendant’s statements. |

NEW BUSINESS CLIENTS TROUGH BARTER SAVES GROUP PARTICIPATION
BY KENNETH A. VERCAMMEN, Esq.
My office received many new cases since 2000 by becoming active in professional Barter organizations especially Barter Depot, now BarterSaves. We recommend other service providers and businesses join a barter group. The Barter group refers us business clients and we negotiate legal fees directly with the potential clients. After performing legal work, we earn "Barter dollars" in lieu of actual cash payments. We then use our Barter dollars for different services. We hired a moving company to move to our house. The moving company also helped us when we moved our office in 2003. Other services we received through Barter groups included facials for my wife and sport massage for me while I was training for the marathon. In 2013 we used our barter dollars to print our newsletters, business cards, envelopes and brochures through Itex, we went to dinner at the Cocoa Beach Pier, ordered American Flag pins to give out at Memorial Day, and running bags to give out at the Annual January Running event I am in charge. We use the limo company to drop us off at the airport. Over the years we have much of our printing done, such as
BARTERING is an association of professional business owners who buy and sell their goods or services with trade drafts. Trade drafts are similar to checks you now use to do your cash banking. Members trade in and out of the Barter bank acquiring new customers, and buying the things they need most... ALL ON BARTER. Barter also helps your cash flow by spending trade dollars instead of cash dollars. You must pay Federal income tax and state income tax on all fees charged. However, it is a source of new clients. All businesses, which provide services, should join a barter group. As indicated by Joe Prince of the Barter Depot now BarterSaves, if every businessperson truly understood the countless values of bartering, the billion-dollar explosion in America would be even bigger than it already is. It is thus imperative to further explain this wonderful business tool. Webster's Dictionary defines barter: " To trade (e.g., goods) without the exchange of money." Think of the inner workings of barter as follows:
Suppose you're a dentist and join a barter group. You want to have some work done on your office, specifically painting and carpentry. The Barter groups' memberships includes painters and carpenters, so they refer a painter and carpenter to you, and you get them to do the job. They complete the work to your satisfaction and instead of paying them cash, they do the job on barter, in Lieu of cash or check, the painter and carpenter receive payment in full for their work through trade dollars. These trade dollars are equal to the amount of money they charged for their work. In our example, if the painter charged the dentist $500 for his work, then the painter would receive $500 in trade dollars from the barter group. He could spend that money with anyone else in the barter group. For instance, the painter might need a new brochure made so he uses his dollars to get a brochure done. If the amount for the brochure is less than $500 then he retains more trade dollars, if it exceeds $500 he is minus trade dollars.
Bartering is a valuable tool for business and pleasure. The trade dollars accumulated for your work can be used for either. It's like having a cash-less credit card available to purchase almost anything one would need, as The Barter Depot has hundreds of members in a diverse cross-section of business and services that are eager to trade products and services on barter. Simply put, barter combines the use of smart business people that remain faithful to one another.
From an economic standpoint, barter serves many important needs of these smart business people. Here are a few of them. 1) Barter brings new business to your business (Increasing cash flow, while saving you cash); 2) Barter is a great tool to cut any business's overhead by at least 10 percent: 3) Barter markets your business (or services) to new businesses: 4) Barter can move excess inventory (without having to have a big sale at reduced profits). As a businessperson, to get the most for your dollar you must constantly think BARTER. Each day, each of us has so many small needs that we take them for granted. Add these needs up cumulatively and the cost can be substantial. If however, you used your barter cash-less credit card, think of all the savings you would enjoy. Here's just a partial list of monthly potential savings:
1) When the clothes stack up, use bartering for dry cleaning 2) If it's time for that yearly dental checkup, try one of the Barter group's fine dentists; 3) If the muffler is hanging, fix it on barter; 4) If you need your dog groomed, do you and your dog a favor and think barter. 5) Restaurants |
