Subject: O'Rights fund

Here's a possibility. Perhaps there are some potential donors who would be 
willing to commit (say) for $100/year for ten years, total $1,000. In return for
a promissory note to that effect (zero interest), I would put up the $1,000 
now,  to a maximum of $10,000.

Bob, I am truly touched by your efforts, and looking at all possible ways to 
fund this. This offer however should not go forward. 
 

I am opposed to asking anyone to do something I would not myself do. I would not
under any circumstance finance or go into debt for someone else s suspension, I
just simply wouldn t. In the past when I had positive cash flow, I had been 
generous, but I had the wealth to be generous. I had done much for 
Immortalist/Life Extensionist when times were good. Some of the members at 
Imminst became members because I opened up my wallet and paid their way. When it
came to a conference we had out in Connecticut I single-handedly paid for the 
whole deal. I put the offer to anyone and everyone, leaders, members, registered
users, that if they were to show up, I would pay for their rooms. Party was on 
me, just get there. I paid for everyone s room and because I bought such a large
block I got the hotel to throw in a 300-dollar conference room in for free. 
Bruce, Laz, Randy Wicker and Mike from Mass were among some of the attendees. I 
paid the way of several

 members to attend other conferences that I myself did not even go to. I am so 
 opposed to debt that years ago when Bruce wanted Imminst to go into debt to 
 host his first conference, I was opposed to using Imminst funds because I 
 thought it an imprudent call, I suggested that we leaders could fund it, and 
 any leader who couldn t pony up, I would loan them their share if they thought 
 the conference had the ability to break even. But even then, I expected the 
 loan to be collateralized. I was opposed to the conference on the grounds that 
 it could have sunk Imminst finances, but I also offered to personally 
 underwrite it to the tune of over 20 grand. But I had the money to do it back 
 then, I assure you, if I were broke at the time I would not have given nor 
 would I have serviced debt to do it. I cannot accept people going into debt to 
 take care of my suspension.
 

We can do this Bob without anyone going into debt and without you having to make
any loans. We will get there.
Your Eternal Friend
Bill O'Rights
