Our Projects

Through our projects – How To Save Jobs, America’s Share, the Online Safety Foundation, the Presidential Technology Watch, the Working From Home Council, the Empowered Health Initiative, and the National Skills Database – we seek to explore and present innovative and practical options for securing America’s future.

The mission of How To Save Jobs is to help America create 20 to 30 million new jobs in the next five years. It’s ambitious, but necessary. The key element of this program is the How To Save Jobs book, which will be published traditionally, but also distributed in electronic form for free, gifting the book to any member of the general public who wants it.

America’s Share is a USSPI program designed to help consumers, buyers, and policy makers understand America’s true share of any given product. In its initial phase, America’s Share will work with manufacturing engineers, forensic accountants, economists, and other key experts to develop a consistent set of standards for determining America’s Share for any given product.

If unemployment has one specific paradox, it’s this: employers often can’t find qualified employees at the very same time qualified employees are looking for employers. What we need is a National Skills Database. This is an online resource that connects prospective employees with prospective employers, across a wide variety of skills. Rather than being indexed by job title or full resume, it’d be indexed by the set of skills needed.

Working from home is no longer just the choice of a few fringe workers. People who work for the largest American corporations work from home and communicate through online collaboration technology. Likewise, freelancers, people who work for small companies, and many other individuals now work from home. Working from home also isn’t just a convenience or a way for businesses to save a few bucks on office space. Working from home is a strategic opportunity for the United States.

The health care industry in the United States is the single largest economic interest bloc in the history of mankind. It’s time to take back some control over our health and wellness. It’s time to be empowered. That’s where the Empowered Patient Initiative comes in. Its role is to foster programs that help patients take more responsibility for their own care, to foster wellness programs, and to help patients and their families understand not only their own health, but the operation of the health care system.

USSPI executive director David Gewirtz says, “Homeland security begins at home.” There are bad guys out there and they’re as close to you as your network port. This site contains training resources and a learning center that will help keep you safe.

As Internet-based Presidential communication expands radically during the Obama administration, we’re tracking email, social networking, peer-to-peer networking, security risks, and more. We’re helping keep them honest and helping keep them safe.
