Well-run lotteries raise billions of dollars per year for various good causes requiring massive funding amounts like our California state school system.
In 1997, Digital Corporation, before it was bought out by first Compaq, then H-P, wanted the contract for building the Heartlands Project’s tribal lottery operation processing center. They did a market study of potential lottery earnings and told us, three witnesses, that "if set up right" our California statewide lottery system could earn "up to a billion dollars a year." G-Tech too, was interested in our Heartlands Project lottery in 1997 before they got the California lottery management contract.
In 2005, United Lottery and Totalizer Systems wanted to us to keep in contact them when our lottery project got tribal authority to go ahead–(which it did in March of 2008 for about 3 days before once again being shelved by the tribal council–such is tribal politics in Indian Country).
We have a state-of-the-art lottery system that is ahead of the competition in every way. Cost of set-up, cost of system operation, marketing coverage. But our system is only potential now. It needs to be put into business plan format for start-up capitalization. This is where we need LLO bodies and brains, members who can create the world’s best cause and biggest lottery–the Lifeline Lottery.
Lifeline Lottery Organization's lottery management fee of the standard 15% will fund not only the lottery system but also be the owners of Communikits Inc., an employee-owned company that will research and develop emergency relief shelters, food, and medical aid systems and also community self-sufficiency systems for community recovery from either disasters or wars or extreme poverty.

I've been concentrating on Native American land recovery for so long I am really out of touch with what's been happening in the emergency shelter development field, alternative energy and construction techniques, and Permaculture. This site needs good links so any that you know of that relate to the Lifeline Lottery Organization's operation or Communikits project, please post them here.
If possible I would like to make this LLO blog interactive so LLO blog members can add pertinent information without going through me. I do have forum platform software if LLO members decide a Lifeline Lottery Organization Forum might be helpful. They are better than blogs by miles in my opinion but people are used to blogs.
