SEIU has launched a website soliciting ideas to improve the lives of working families - the website is called SinceSlicedBread.com. They’re looking for ideas - in 175 words - that
are original, creative, and have a good chance of practical success, and which:
* Grow the economy
* Create good-paying jobs that allow people to raise a family, afford health insurance, pay for their children’s college education, get additional training and save for retirement
* Encourage existing companies to expand and entrepreneurs to start new one
The winner gets $100,000, two runners up get $50,000, and the top 21 will be published in a book in 2006. Get thinking - you’ve got until December 5 to send in your entry.
