The revenue generated by this proprietary
endeavor will come from an individual member pool of 50 million individual U.S.
workers.

By being the FIRST and ONLY membership organization representing these 50
million US workers, my business promises to be a multi-billion dollar per year
enterprise with avenues of revenue to be driven by the following:

Membership Dues

Federal/State Government Subsidies

Corporate Subsidy

Corporate Advertisement, etc.

Unlike all other professional membership orgainzations, My business idea is
designed to make EVERYONE money (which will drive membership through the roof)

working uninsured.

Provided you complete the necessary Confidentiality Agreement, I would be more
than eager to discuss your interest in the purchase of this incredibly
profitable business idea.
