HELP, HELP, HELP!!!
Please Consider Contributing to
the Faith With Works Publishing Company Legal Defense Fund
UPDATE COMING SOON! – 9/22/2018 . . . in
the meantime:
Donations to Teresa Wieland for sustenance and for
financial assistance to help her pay her bills. She presently lives in
one room and drives a 20 year old car that is about to die.
Donations to Wally Paton so he can re-print the How
to Listen to God book
and publish the Back
to the Basics of Sponsorship
book. In the last year, I have been wiped out financially and I do not
have the funds to proceed.
If we lose the ADES appeal, we will need an Arizona
attorney who is willing work pro bono on our case.
ADES Audit Update – 8/17/18
We are now four months into the Arizona Department of Economic Security
audit with no resolution. Every two weeks or so we are being asked to
submit more and more information. The audit costs continue to mount up.
As you know, Faith With Works Publishing Company has no employees. We operate with independent contractors only.
FWWPCO is being audited by the Arizona Department of
Economic Security over an erroneously filed Unemployment Insurance
claim. We have had to hire a CPA familiar with these cases, and she has
agreed to represent us in court. We have been advised to seek legal
counsel also.
The ADES has asked for copies of every check, credit card
transaction and all e-mails to the independent contractors for 2016 and
2017. This is in addition to our tax returns and other support material.
It will take 50-70 hours of work by one of our independent contractors
just to get ready for this audit.
The ADES will look at ALL of our independent contractors.
If it is determined that they are employees rather than independent
contractors, we will be forced to pay thousands of dollars in taxes and
penalties.
This audit could crater FWWPCO. We
are in need of $5,000-$8,000 by the end of June, just to stay in
business. If you know of anyone with “deep pockets,” who is
willing to make a donation or offer us a short-term loan, please pass
this plea for help on to them. To make a donation, have them press the
DONATION button. You can make a donation by pressing the same button.
Any and all donations will be graciously accepted and
used for the court case. More than 700,000 lives have been positively
affected by our life-saving work. Please help us continue our
life-saving efforts.
Thank you,
Wally P.

"Step takers, not meeting makers,
make it. Meeting makers make meetings. Step Takers make a difference."
- Wally P
Since the release of the Back to
Basics book in 1997, more than 700,000 have been through this "original"
Beginners' Meetings format from the 1940's that produced a 50-75%
recovery rate during the early days of the recovery movement. We are
seeing similar results today in the more than 7,000 meetings held each
week. Click here

Cliff
B. Article Titled, What has Happened . . . ?
Published 07/23/2004
Considered by many to be A.A.’s Wake-up
Call
“. . . The alcoholics who participated
in the writing of the “Big Book” didn't wait (to take the
steps). They took the Steps in the first few days following
their last drink. Thank God, there are those in our Fellowship,
like Joe and Charlie, Wally, etc., who have recognized the
problem and have started doing something about it. They are
placing the focus back on the “Big Book.”
Wally P. has no royalty arrangement with Faith With Works
Publishing Company and receives NO income from any literature he
has published nor from CDs / DVDs he has produced. He insists that
this
is his Twelfth Step work for which he cannot be paid.

"Authors
note: I do not believe in 'making money out of A.A.'
Any proceeds from this book, after out of pocket expenses are met, will be used to
distribute books at no cost to individuals and groups who cannot afford to buy them."
Tradition 5. Each
group has but one primary purpose-to carry its message to the alcoholic who still
suffers.
After receiving notification from the General Service Office about
our mission statement, the Board of Directors of the Back to Basics Foundation met in a
special session and voted to change the wording of the statement so it would be in
compliance with the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The Board also voted to move all materials pertaining to other Twelve Step programs to
separate web sites, so there would be no confusion about the primary purpose of the Back
to Basics Foundation.
We ask for your patience in this matter because, at the present time, we have no means to
accomplish this objective. We have no paid employees, and continue to operate with a
negative cash flow. If it is God's will, there will be sufficient individual
donations to make the wishes of the Board of Directors a reality.
The Back to Basics Foundation is a 501 (C) 3, not-for-profit Corporation dedicated to
saving the lives of alcoholics. Our modified mission statement is listed below.

Mission Statement - Who
We Are
The Back to Basics Foundation is dedicated to
saving the lives of alcoholics by showing them the sheer simplicity of the
"original" A.A. program of recovery and by guiding them through the Twelve Steps
as they were taken by many of the A.A. pioneers in the 1940's. During this period of
time, the A.A. recovery rate from alcoholism was 50-75%. We are seeing similar
results today for those who are willing to remain
involved with the Back to Basics A. A. Beginners' meetings for three to six months.
We accomplish our objective by coordinating the recovery efforts of the numerous Back to
Basics A.A. Beginners' meetings and groups, answering questions as they arise, following
up on Twelfth Step calls, and assisting groups with their registration at the local, area,
and General Service Offices. We also conduct one day and weekend seminars based on
the Back to Basics A.A. program and distribute recovery literature and other materials on
the A.A. Beginners' meetings.
