So far, the national conversation on the future of Social Security has focused on what various reform options mean for the current retired community, the soon-to-retire baby-boomer generation, and today’s younger workers. But what about the workers of tomorrow, the generation of Americans currently enrolled in America’s elementary, middle, and high schools? Without the power to vote, younger Americans have had little opportunity to make their voices heard in the debate about Social Security’s future. Your chance has arrived! Americans for Prosperity is sponsoring an essay contest for students currently in Grades 4 through 12 to make their voice heard in the Social Security debate. There will be two divisions: the Junior Division for Grades 4 through 8 and the Senior Division for Grades 8 through 12. The first place prize in each division is $250.	In their 250 to 750 word essays, students are asked to address some of the following questions: ·         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?
The Deadline for Entry is June 30, 2005.  Winners will be announced July 31, 2005.
