Social Security Essay Contest.

Know any kids, grades 4 through 12?

Would they be willing to write 250-750 words on Social Security to win $250 dollars?

Americans For Prosperity is sponsoring an essay contest (actually two essay contests). One for kids in grades 4-8, another for grades 9-12.

The essay should address these themes:

• Why does Social Security matter to you and your family?

• What will happen if nothing is done to fix Social Security’s financial problems?

• What kind of Social Security system would you hope for in the future?

• What would you change about the current Social Security system?

• What is your view of the proper relationship between a citizen and the government? How does Social Security affect this?

Third Place: $50

Entries are due June 30, 2005.
