SEIU contest

[Eugene Coyle <eugenecoyle@xxxxxxx>]

The SEIU is holding a contest with a first prize of $100,000.  You are invited to vote to help choose the winning idea.  After preliminary rounds, we are offered 21 ideas to choose among.  The choices are unimaginative and without boldness.  I did vote, but found it hard to support any of them.  (I was going to vote for one but learned that three choices are demanded.  Never mind.)  In an earlier round I voted for the Sandwichman's entry and asked others to do the same.  That entry didn't make the cut of 21 semi-finalists.
    YOU can still participate.  But if this is where the SIEU audince is at, or where someone thinks it is at, we re in deep, deep trouble.  Take a look at the choices.  Tom, good you didn't spend the $100,000 yet.

Dear Gene,

The moment has arrived... Round One of the SinceSlicedBread.com voting process is now open!

When you visit the site, you'll now see 21 ideas to improve the lives of working Americans. There is that small matter of the $200,000 of prize money though, and that decision is now in your hands...

Read the 21 finalist ideas, and cast your ballot for three of them now:

Don't delay -- this round of voting ends on Sunday, January 15 at 11:59 pm EST -- only a few days away! At that point, fourteen ideas will be eliminated, leaving the top seven vote getters to compete in Round Two for the cash prizes.

As a reminder, we're serious about making sure this is a secure and fair voting process. Everyone gets to vote for three ideas during each of the two voting periods. We've put several procedures in place to ensure a fair voting process, including hiring outside security experts to test and verify the voting process. Thanks for all of your ideas on how to make this process both fun and fair.

These innovative ideas address healthcare, education, retirement, minimum wage, taxes, energy, home ownership, civil service and many other bread-and-butter issues for ALL of us. So vote today and help America find the best new ideas SinceSlicedBread!
