Outline

• I would start off the video with an introduction of myself and the whole process of how 10,000 solutions works.
•  I would then discuss my problem of how organizations lack volunteers.
•  I would follow up evidence from organizations speaking about this to news reports.
• Then I would state my possible solution to the problem and how it may benefit not only the students as well as the community. I would include statistics, facts, as well as testimonies from students who have been required to do community service.
•  I have also had the opportunity to interview a professor who teaches high school and college students. I will read over the questions I asked him and the answer he gave me. (I will not be able to record my solution and interview him since his schedule is pretty busy).
• I will then use a picture montage with a voiceover at the end to try and give off a persuasive feel as to why I feel that this solution is a good on.
• I will close off with a thank you and to vote for my solution to be chosen.

10000 solution video transcript

Hello. My name is Clarissa Campbell and today I'm going to discuss the issue of public assistance/welfare fraud and propose a solution to this very common problem.  I have done extensive research into various points of view on the topic in the past week and have come up with a reform policy that I believe will dramatically increase the effectiveness of the current fraud prevention methods.  First of all, I propose a mandatory drug test for all who are applying or renewing benefits.  I realize that some states have put variations of this into effect in prior years with small amounts of results, but I believe this may be due to people learning to "beat" the system.  In order to resolve this, I propose that all personnel are searched before and after the test and also add an observer as is required for military testing. Additional random testing and a signed declaration may also be very helpful when funding is available.  Another issue that comes up with public assistance is people selling food stamps  to use the money elsewhere or buying purely high calorie "junk" food that is really not needed and is unfair to any children who may be in the house.  To fix this, I believe that people should be given actual food that will provide well balanced meals for all family members.  Another possibility is to create a program similar to the Women Infants Children (WIC) Program where only certain items are allowed to be purchased throughout the month.  My final part of the proposal is to require that all adult recipients either are employed full time or working with a local job center on interview skills and resumes.  This should be tracked so that a certain number of hours each week may be required until full time employment is achieved. I believe that the combination of all of these changes will have a tremendous and positive impact on the issue of welfare and public assistance fraud.

annotations

My first annotation is about the many effects that come with the immunization of illegal immigrants of our Country's Federal Laws so as that makes it okay for them to cross over into the United States legally and don't have to work for anything. This comes to speak about the vast amounts of resources that our poured into the amnesty effect over legal immigrants already over here.

The second annotation will come to speak about the fact of how even though illegal immigrants are working here they are sucking our economy and nation dry. It goes on to explain how that some argue that this could only benefit our country with an anti-argument of how could this help our economy when all of our money is not even being spent here in America but is being sent out of country to families on other countries.

Works Cited

Unknown author, “Cracking Down on Welfare Fraud:  Is it Hurting the Innocent?”  WPXI.com, Pittsburg local news, Tuesday 7 Feb. 2012.

            This article talks about how some of the new laws in Pittsburg that are being put into effect to prevent welfare fraud are taking away and hurting those who actually need the help.  One example that they use is that when the asset test was first announced.  This prevents people that have a certain amount of money in their savings account from collecting welfare.  A retiree testified in the article, though, that it was punishing them for being responsible and saving money.  They then changed the law by increasing the cap for anyone above 65 to 9,000 and 5,500 for everyone else.  This article will help provide evidence on the effectiveness on certain ideas to help prevent welfare fraud.  This will definitely add to the overall effectiveness of my proposal for a solution.

                This article talks about another perspective on welfare fraud.  It talks about how prosecuting welfare fraud is leading to the link between government help and crime.  Many people now, when they hear the word welfare, they automatically think of someone using the government money to their advantage when they do not really need the help.  They see someone sitting at home doing nothing enjoying the free money.  This gives a more negative/ opposing opinion to my argument which gives me a different perspective to work with.

This article focuses on volunteer work as a mandatory hold on a public high school in Canada in September of 2012. With the requirement, the students had better academic performace, and less anti-social behavior.

This article focuses on the study of the attitudes of community responsibility of students who volunteer. While the volunteer was mandatory at first, towards the end the continued to do the volunteer work even after the requirement.
