"I am starting a charity up, It's called 'Secure Our Dream.' It's just about people, neighbors in the community," Wurzelbacher told FOXNews.com.

...

"You know there's a lady on my street that is going to lose her house because of disability. You know ... that's something this charity that I am starting would help, help people directly," he said.

He said he hasn't figured out how he's going to finance the charity, but knows how he wants the money to be spent.
...

But charity isn't Wurzelbacher's sole goal. Sharing the wealth also means helping himself. To that end, he's working with writer Tom Tabback on a book about American values.

"Everyone came at me to write a book. They had dollar signs in their eyes. '101 Things Joe the Plumber Knows' or some stupid s--- like that. Excuse me, I am sorry," he said. "You know I will get behind something solid, but I won't get behind fluff. I won't cash in, and when people do read the book they will figure out that I didn't cash in. At least I hope they figure that out."

The book is to be published by a group called PearlGate Publishing and other small publishing houses.

"I am not going to a conglomerate that way we actually can get the economy jump started. Like there is five publishing companies in Michigan. There's a couple down in Texas. They are small ones that can handle like 10 or 15,000 copies. I can go to a big one that could handle a million or two. But they don't need the help. They are already rich. So that's spreading the wealth to me," he said.

12. Well he really is just talking about doing those things. In reality, he hasn't done any or even

started. He just talks to seek attention.

[luvs2sing]

16. Which was kinda my point.

He's just all over the place, and it's funny (in a sick way) to watch. :hi:

[LiberalHeart]

14. He even spreads the work. He's writing a book that someone else is writing. Huh?

15. Info on Joe's ghost writer....

Here's a link to Joe's ghost writer's only book (and it's published by the same folks Joe's using -- PearlGate):

This link includes a picture of Tabback:

His book is about "...an incredible journey as Nahar sweeps you into the historical events of the Israelite Conquest of Canaan...."

I'm not finding anything regarding PearlGate's (pearly gates?) books, other than the one by Tabback, but I haven't searched very hard.
