Dear Company and Affiliate Companies, I Carolyn Joyce Carty the undersigned state under penalty of perjury that I am the owner of intellectual property known as Footprints also known as Footprints in the Sand i.e.: One night a man had a dream version as described in the paragraph below noted text author Carolyn Joyce Carty. All companies must cease from paying royalties to anyone other than the identified owner of individual text described herein.

Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me? The Lord replied, The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you. written by Ella Scharring-Hausen in 1922 is public domain also claimed by Mary Stevenson 1936, Mary did not originally author this text however it is considered public domain according to U.S. Copyright Law of 1909 for failure to register in a timely and lawful manner. Her 1984 claim can be disbuted according to copyright law.

Footprints One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me. He whispered, My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you say only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you. Claimed by Margaret Fishback Powers, 1964 Footprints by Anonymous was published in 1963 and Margaret Fishback Powers did not author it's text.

Footprints /also known as Footprints in the Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life. This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

As mentioned to Companies & Affiliates on several occasions in the year 2003, 2004 that these materials supplied to the public for sale and profit were not negotiated or contracted for use or permission of use of my copyrights. Furthermore, Companies & Affiliates also notified of this first hand when found advertising products for Margaret Fishback Powers in the year 2003, 2004 to Cease and Desist said use. In following up last years business with Company & Affiliates they then proceeded to sell the very same products now under Mary Stevenson name. This leads me to believe that the course of action taken by companies were for mere profit. Companies & Affiliates are advised and aware of the various text created by the various authors. No other authors work can support or substantiate the text used by any company and the infringement named in this document, pursuant to filing a lawful suit of this infringement. Products made for profit in cases of infringement constitute a willful act to commit fraud in which such acts may be investigated and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney, Department of Justice. In the matter of this case the Attorney General's Office has received numerous complaints to investigate these counterfeit products. Mediation has been an option offered by me while dealing with the pursuit of this claim. companies & affiliates have failed to negotiate any suitable settlement. Infringement fines can be determined to a maximum benefit of $150.000.00 dollars for each item infringed upon, each specific product and variation of any given product. So far Companies & Affiliates Product infringement has produced over 20 - 50 such items of infringement. This infringement also hinders the accurate historical account to the public of it's original creation which has caused personal harm, and damages including creditability issues. Footprints is a Copyrighted Contribution to Society and is registered as such and is not in the public domain. Companies & Affiliates also aware of this as well this past year through previous correspondences and the parties named in this infringement. The right to know. The public has the right to know when others falsely claim credit and accept proceeds for something that does not belong to them. Violating the rights of others when compensation is due is considered theft. When committed in large dollar amounts it is often referred to as extortion with intent to deceive. I propose that these conflicts be resolved amicably. You are hereby notified of my legal and lawful complaint regarding these issues of infringement. I do hope you choose to resolve these matters lawfully.

Special Note; since May of 2005 additional attempts to discredit my original authorship of Footprints are now being claimed by an individual named Burrell Webb. Unfortunately wowzone has gone out of their way to once again present my intellectual property as someone elses. I believe this to be just another akward attempt to disrupt the success of my original authorship. Burrell Webb did not write my authentic work known as Footprints also known as Footprints in the Sand. He is now identified to the public as a copyright infringer who holds no copyright of original authorship.

Thank you for your inquiry addressed to the U.S. Copyright Office.

According to Copyright Law of 1909, which reflect the laws of these text, these items should have been denied copyright and declared public domain. Why has the U.S. Copyright Office even allowed registration for these two individuals named Zangare & Keeton? TXu-179-585 Title: Footprints in the sand / Mary T. Zangare. Description: 1 p.

Keeton's poetry anthology I am disputing the claim to copyright for this these two individuals for their claimed version of text. I am requesting verifying documentation from the US Copyright Office that these copyrights are not legitimate. Your immediate attention is requested on this matter. Text claimed by Mary Stevenson Zangare was already public domain. The author of the actual text that Mary used was from Ella Scharring-Hausen written in 1922. According to US Copyright Ella's text became public domain, How can you allow Mary Zangare copyright to something that is already public domain? Keeton's claim also reflects that his text no matter what version was lost to public domain according to the copyright law of 1944, which was US Copyright Laws governed by 1909 as well. I demand a response. Also there is a database error reflected in my copyrights that needs to be addressed; TXu-234-383 (COHM) Title: Footprints. Description: 8 p. Claimant: Carolyn Joyce Carty Created: 1963 Registered: 24Feb86 Title on Application: Footprints in the sand. Author on Application: Carolyn Joyce Carty (author of anon. contribution) Special Codes: 1/B///A The issue is the word (POEM) is not reflected on my copyrights. I submitted 1 page poem and 7 page text which included brief biographical and historical entries for Footprints. My authorship of Anonymous is also not properly listed. When searching database under the term Anonymous (only) my copyrights do not show for my work. These two issues that have been misleading to persons and companies interested in using my text by being unable to locate my copyrights to pay use for it's royalties in any manner. I have respectfully earned 1 trillion dollars in royalties since 1963 and have only been paid less than $100.00 dollars because of these errors. Please correct these errors or be liable for my loss.
