iPolitics (I am a part of the political process)
Inner-city youth, as well as adults, are typically excluded from the political process at the national level. Understanding how politics work and the benefits of being a part of the process is a great opportunity for this targeted group to play a key role in shaping our country.
Q1: Why is this idea important to you? If we provide a means for an ignored and under served group of people to be a part of the political process, we will play a key role in positively shaping the future of our county.
Idea Description
iPolitics is a program designed to attract inner-city youth and adults into the political process at the grassroots level through the national (and even international) level. Through this program, the targeted group will learn about the historical significance of politics and the impact on their lives, learn about current events, networking skills, and the importance of community organizing efforts.
The hope is that these individuals will want to learn more about the legal system and how their involvement matters. Once the targeted group is fully engaged in the program, it is our hope that they also get actively involved in improving their communities, playing a role in combating crime.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
If I win the $10K prize, I will create a non-profit organization geared toward teaching inner-city youth about the political process and how it impacts their lives.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
