Receiving donations and spending them shouldn't cost us anything.

^^^^^^^ Yes. Please get with legal about any type of cash account. I believe we've been contact by someone who has friends who are/were CPA's and may assist us. Let's see how this pans out before we do anything. Our teams can work together before setting up anything like this.

The main donation page for the Occupy movement in NYC uses WePay. I did not know this until today. I just wanted to mention that. I am not saying I support using the WePay system over something else I'm just pointing out that this is out there and available. Right now the account is sitting at $35,000. They have collected $150,000 so far so I guess they bought 100,000+ worth of stuff already? Anyway click the link below to check this out.

Also worth mentioning:

"Donate to the Alliance for Global Justice WePay account
This is the only official donation link for the New York City General Assembly and the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement."

So I guess what they are saying is, if you are going to donate - make it THAT account.

I just created an account for us. Thanks for the heads up.
