Re:Grand Gedeh Association in The Americas, Inc. Violates IRS Philanthropic Laws
Dear Sir/madam:
I write to report that the section 501 © (3) given to the organization under the banner name of Grand Gedeh Association in The Americas Incorporated do not corresponds to the organization functions and endowments for the public charity status stated in the federal tax-exempt letter or subsequent IRS determination provision Act of 2008.
As stated by regulatory statue on the petition/application (form 990 or 990-EZ) Public Charity Status, to be precise Part-I, Line 1-11, reasons that determine eligibility for the Public Charity Status are caught in a wide range of violations. These violations ranged from the codes of Internal Revenue Services to everything including Federal Laws. They are as followed:
(1) In May of 2009, Mrs. Anna Barlee then Election Commissioner for the leadership of the Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas Inc, wrote in part “Henry K. Glay Political Party and Martha Kannah Political Party,” in her official communication to both candidates. This is a violation of the IRS charitable status; and further to what just been said, a federal violation.
(2) Secondly, according to the United States Tax laws and/or as defined in Rev. Proc. 98-19 in Part IV, Line 5 those organizations/entities who answered “Yes” on the application form 990 are the only organizations with the IRS status 501 © (4), 501 © (5), and 501 © (6) are required by IRS provisions to receive membership dues, assessments, or similar amounts as stated. So to speak, Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas Inc. is receiving thousands of dollars monthly off membership dues; this doesn’t includes annual membership convention dues/fees. Again, this is another IRS violation of an organization with 501 © (3) status.
(3) Moreover, As require by the federal laws, organizations/entities with United States Tax-exempt status who activities are outside the borders of the United States; must be reported, most particularly for most countries in Sub-Sahara Africa that are going through erratic stabilities or healing from civil unrest. An epitome of such retentive caution stemmed from the concomitant facts that money collected in the name of philanthropic organizations can ends up in the hands of warlords and others tortuous groups. Keeping close watch on this organization, may help Liberia in its recovery effort.
(4) On the issue of finances, Again, I am afraid that some folks at the pinnacle of this organization who don’t owed its members explanation may used the funds for subversive activities in a country healing from fourteen years of civil war. In a classic example: In 2003, while the battle was intensifying in Liberia; The Gbarzon District Association, a poster child or a lesser portion to Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas, Inc. under the leadership of Mr. Harrison Saydee gave a warlord (Thomas Yaya Nimely) the leader of MODEL rebel faction $3,000 for development in the district. The concept was addled until the warlord paid back the money. I‘ve these documents in my possession. Well, until now, we never understood the philological interpretation puts upon “district development fund” in the middle of the battlefield. Please watch Grand Gedeh Association with an eagle-eyes.
Elsewhere, I wrote couple of years ago complaining the same organization about not been registered but collecting thousands of dollars annually and using it for suspicion activities in Liberia. Your investigation proved me right; and the organization was able to registered and gets her 501 © (3) in the most proper fashion. The IRS sent me an application for a reward, but I turned down the offer because I was not doing it for the cash, but for the immigrant community who has been exploited at all level; and the good people of the Republic of Liberia.
Mr. William Nyanue claimed to have left $33,000 dollars in the confer and turned it over to Mr. David Gbortoe. Two years later, David Gbortoe term was finished; and we raised an additional 27,000 in Iowa in May of 2007in the presence of Vice President Joseph Boakai of the Republic of Liberia. Mr. David Gbortoe turnover $14,000 Cashier cheque. The $33,000 in the account before the convention; and additional $9,000 from the convention went missing up-to-date.
Mr. Henry Glay started with the 14,000 and brought it up to 38,000 before Martha Kannah-Branch took over the account less than three months ago from the Glay administration. Currently, our account balance stands at $4768.52. Again, Liberia is healing from fourteen years of civil unrest. Please use this information to be able to follow the account history, funds transferred et cetera. You have the liberty to share this information with other federal agencies such as the FBI, and other branches of the Department of Homeland Security. All of the above leaders mentioned have properties (Homes) with the exception of Mr. David Gbortoe who renting a single room.
At my request, do not conceal my identity. I’m wholehearted willing to make declaration under oath in federal court against the organization mentioned in this document. I’m also publishing this letter in our community online news portal (Liberian Forum) and forward Washington Post and Baltimore Sun copies. Please see the below listed information to give you a grass root starts of your investigation. May God bless the work of your hands.
Yours,
