Depression medicine

1. 2 years of zero income taxes: immediate effect for every working individual in the country

2. Mandatory reduction of all mortgage rates to 3%: Immediate reduction is cost for all mortgage holders while still mainatining a 3% retrun to the bank as they now borrow funds from the FED at 0%

Too easy? Not enough "pork" for the Hill?

I like it.

Idea for the President Elect - find missing children with email

I posted the following on citizens briefing book today -

Please feel to vote and comment, the text:

Unfortunately people, especially children, go missing every day. There are a great number of methods in place to help find the missing BUT one very obvious method is totally ignored, not to say impossible until WrapMail, Inc. in Florida developed its technology: interactive letterhead for email. Not email-blasts BUT using the emails people send every day anyway (one-on-one emails)!

Corporate and Government employees send emails ever day, these emails go to the public, businesses and government agencies but when they arrive they are plain black on white.

Each of these emails could have a wrap surrounding the email that in addition to information and links to the respective websites also could feature pictures of missing adults and/or children. WrapMail, Inc.’s technology allows for dynamic rotation so that every single email that is sent out could feature new missing kids so that every single one is exposed to the receiving audience. There are already RSS feeds out with data on missing kids that can be incorporated into a wrapmail. This is the milk carton of the 21st Century! All emails that leave WrapMail, Inc. have an amber alert on the bottom, currently linking to missing children in Florida where WrapMail is headquartered. This RSS feed comes from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

These pictures could have embedded hyperlinks that lead to pages with more details (such as more pictures, last seen, clothes worn, last seen with etc).

There are about 50 billion emails sent every day; one-on-one emails that is, every one of them could be looking for missing children.

The bottom line is that these emails are sent every day anyway – why not use them for something good? WrapMail offers its clients to incorporate this feature for free either with just an amber alert or a rotation of missing people with every outbound email.

WrapMail Lite Launches

WrapMail Lite Launches

From WrapMail's blog:

We are pleased to announce the official launch of WrapMail Lite for independent consultants in multilevel marketing companies. Independent consultants now have access to the same powerful email marketing software that WrapMail Pro clients use. After signing up for the web-based system, reps will choose their affiliation or network marketing group by selecting a professionally designed wrap which they can customize with their picture, personal web site link & contact info, then, they can send emails and track their activity.

Currently, there are more than 30 companies that reps can choose wraps from with plans to have more than 100 multilevel marketing companies in the system by the end of January. Some of the current companies include: Amway, Arbonne International, Shop to Earn, Avon, Mary Kay, Monavie, Pampered Chef, Herbalife, and Your Travel Biz. The cost for the service is $4.95 per month or $49.95 for the year. Here’s the full list of currently available groups to choose from:

Ameriplan
Amway
Arbonne
Avon
Creative Memories
Dubai MLM

The Wrap can be linked back to the sender’s unique web site, blog, or the corporate site. When the Wrap is clicked, the system will report who is clicking on the sender’s Wrap and when. With an estimated 15 million people in the U.S. involved in network marketing and more than 68 million worldwide, we thought this was a natural product for us to launch. Additionally, given the current economic conditions, we expect the activity in MLMs to increase and WrapMail Lite is a very inexpensive tool for independent reps to use to grow their business.

Politicians: Make money, don't take money!

I have a dream that one day a "politician" (and this will not be the run-of.the-mill-in-somebody's-pocket-politician) will get on the barricades and say:

We the government should start to MAKE money instead of TAKE money.

Imagine if the government (who employs about half the people directly or indirectly in this country) would look at the other side of the equation: Revenue (NO, that's not TAX).

How can the various pieces of the government MAKE money? How can they sell something that we will buy?

Example: Prisons

1. Have people in prison MAKE something that we would buy. Maybe take all the smart white collar crooks and start a software company (PrisonSoft). They could develop software for all kinds of applications and the talent pool is enormous! The not so smart guys can also make something sellable and put it up for sale on eBay or other places.

2. Any prison located next to a highway - put advertising on the walls

3.Government cars could have advertising on them

4. Government run casinos

etc etc etc - some ideas might be WAY out there but the bottom line should be: MAKE money don't TAKE money.

Now, combine this with cutting the fat of the pencil-pushers (you know who I'm talking about, the crowd that spent a few million dollars in their cubicles and came up with the brilliant idea to call Car Pool lanes HOV - what's the deal with that???). Abolish the word TAX and IRS (there's a few hundred thousand people that can do something else).

We the People should be able to build our businesses and the country without the interference of some dude in a cubicle making it difficult for us. Of course there are laws to stop the crooks but don't make the environment such that innovation is killed before it gets started. 98% of this country's business are small business and that's how any company starts out - MOTIVATE us to keep innovating and let us reap the fruits of our labor without your stinking hand grabbing stronghold of our wallet!
