[vendtalk] {Disarmed} Is RSA Buying Group Illegal?

[Bill Reif]

Failure to register in Delaware makes them illegal everywhere? Really? 
Is that the best RSVA could dig up, assuming they are right? I don't see 
any allegations regarding the substance of what the program fails to do 
with regard to blind entrepreneur participants. The RSVA drafters of 
this resolution could hardly say the same. If there is anything behind 
these filing requirements & franchise tax allegations, I'm sure they can 
be taken care of by the lawyers involved. How do franchise taxes even 
apply to RSA Buying Group?Meanwhile: the rest of us can enjoy and look 
forward to rebates and a level of transparency others who have 
contracted with blind merchants have delivered only in promise.

Cordially,
Bill
