Laurie,

I had a talk with a our leadership. They verified for me that ANSA is in part of our coaliation and nothing more. We are not an affiliate nor our the remaining members of our coalition.

There seems to have a misunderstanding between the folks at ANSA and us. We are working with clarify that and their website will be updated accordingly.

Best,

By definition, an affiliate is:

–noun

7. a branch organization.
8. Commerce

1. a business concern owned or controlled in whole or part by another concern.
2. a subsidiary

ANSA is an affiliate of Service Nation.

ANSA implies (regardless of the statement on their website) that Be The Change, Inc. is an affiliate of theirs.

How could Be The Change, Inc. be an affiliate of Service Nation when they run it?

Even if ANSA is being deceptive it doesn’t change the questionable relationships there seems to be between the many coalition members and sponsers.

A few days ago I heard some shocking news of how the company I currently work for, Target, is involved in sponsoring the Service Nation organization. At a glance, Service Nation seems like a wonderful place for volunteers to get more active in bureaucrat positions. I have no idea why anyone would want to become a bureaucrat, (wouldn’t that mean more money from tax victims needed to pay them?) but whatever, right? I can see why some people wouldn’t see a problem with that. Help people in need… Actually, it get’s worse.

So as a Target “team member” (which is their brand term for employee) I am planning in the coming weeks to do a little protest/boycott experimentation, possibly followed up with my resignation from the company. Be sure to check out my stories, videos, and information on my website: jermainejustice.com as well as my BayWords blog, my YouTube channel, and my calls into the nationally syndicated and radio-streamed show/podcast Free Talk Live (freetalklive.com).

Let it be known that I realize Target may not have fully realized and been aware that they were supporting a draft all this time. I can imagine they have been told it’s a great way to bring volunteers into the world, and Target is very community based and loves that stuff. My objective is to make it clear to the people of Target and it’s customers that this could be something worse.

Call it a draft, call it Mandatory National Service, call it Involuntary Servitude. It all sounds rotten to me.

He’s scheduled to be on Free Talk Live tomorrow night (Saturday, August 2nd) at the start of the show.
