At the end of last year Global Peace Concert associated themselves with what we later found out to be fictitious organizations and people who were involved with the Global Peace Concert for the wrong reasons. When Global Peace Concert Inc does something, it is done totally legal, above board and with complete transparency. All officers and directors are volunteers and do not receive any monetary compensation for the work. 100% of the profits from the Global Peace Benefit Concert are going to organizations, non-profits and charities that champion and nourish basic human rights, nonviolence, world peace, animal welfare and environmental awareness.

It now has been brought to our attention that numerous of our friends are being contacted by an anti Global Peace Concert group and/or persons. This group of people are claiming that the Global Peace Benefit Concert is a hoax, that it is a rip off and the concert is not going to happen. We can no longer ignore these unwarranted attacks on Global Peace and must respond to these FALSE accusations.

Global Peace Concert, Inc. is a legal non profit corporation registered in the State of Florida under document number N08000000108 dated January 1, 2008, Authentication Code: 080107084343-800113789678&035;1. Our Federal Employer Identification Number end in 100 and our Florida sales tax certificate number ends in-8.

Even though we are a legal non-profit corporation in good standing with the State of Florida, by Florida State Administrative Code 12A-1.039 if anyone receives an item in return for a donation, sales tax must be collected and paid on the item. The donation is considered tax deductible for your tax purposes but we have to collect and pay the sales taxes on any item we give in return for a donation. There is no way around this and we will always abide by the all the laws , statutes and administrative codes that govern our non-profit.

If anyone has any doubt on our authenticity, please feel free to visit the State of Florida, Division of Corporations website; http://www.sunbiz.org/ and research our documentation. Also feel free to contact the State of Florida Department of Revenue at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor and ask them about the sales tax information we just provided. Lastly, please feel free to contact the federal government pertaining to our FEIN at http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html.

We ask of you when contacted by these groups of people, please have them provide you with proof of who they claim to be. Also ask them for proof of their organization's legal papers, like we have provided to you. Then finally ask them for proof of what they are claiming. You will see that all the accusations they are perpetrating against Global Peace Concert, Inc and the Global Peace Benefit Concert, are just LIES and are a result of jealousy and greed. These people claim to be peacemakers but yet peace begins with the truth.

We have no clue why someone would try and destroy such a humanitarian project as the Global Peace Benefit Concert. All Global Peace Concert volunteers and organizations that we choose to partner with have been thoroughly investigated and are constantly being monitored within our organization. Those who are with us for the wrong reasons are asked to resign or leave. If they refuse to do so they are brought up before the Board of Directors for a vote of no confidence, removed from their position and their association with Global Peace Concert, Inc terminated.

An attack on Global Peace Concert, Inc. questioning our integrity and authenticity, is also a slap in the face on the hundreds of volunteers, people just like you who also want to "LIVE THE DREAM."

We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any longer! We will use any and all means available to us, including legal action to make sure that these attacks stop and that you, our friends are left alone. We are asking for your help in stopping these cowardly attacks, please email our legal team at Legal@GlobalPeaceConcert.com with ANY information or proof of the persons(s) or group(s) perpetration these defaming LIES. We know who these people are but we need our friends to step up to the plate and send us the proof. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther king

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers that were brought together by a higher power greater than ours. Together we have pooled our resources and to date have financially supported Global Peace Concert, Inc. Keep in mind that several of us are on a limited income. We all come from different walks of life, but are all of the same mindset. We believe that peace begins within and each person can do their part to make a world of difference and live the dream. What began as a concert to promote peace has evolved into more than a concert, it's a mission to evoke change and encourage hope that together we can inspire peace, love and unity.

We thank each an every one of you for your support and understanding. Should anyone have any questions pertaining to the Global Peace Benefit Concert you can direct them to any of the undersigned Directors either by phone or by email.
