Did you know Social Security, by law, can not accept donations? I called them awhile ago, and tried to set it up so that 75% of N.A.L.B.A.s profits would go to beneficiaries who are living on about $700.00 or less a month from their S.S benefits. Let's face it, nowAdays in this cut- throat world, prescription medication alone could take a good chunk of that, not to mention THINGS LIKE electricITY, heat, house payment or rent, food, clothing, and gas or travel expenses. I believe if all Americans would put their differences aside and THEIR minds together to figure out this problem,. there would not be a problem with Social Security any longer. So, I am trying to start this non-profit business that will be designed to assist American citizens in need from THE AGES OF 50 to 70 named N.A.L.B.A. From theRE, they can get full benefits from their Social Security. I'M not forgetting the ones that already can't get their full benefits OR can'’t make ends meet. I am JUST a carpenter, not a: recording studio, web- page designer, advertising company, sale rep, or even all that smart. ALL I know IS there are good -hearted people out there in these professions WHO might be willing to volunteer their time to help or just offer their advice. I just don'’t know how to find these people.
How will this work?
To get the ball rolling ,I am donating all RIGHTS of a song I wrote, sing, and play to a web-- based charity called N.A.L.B.A. This web-based business will run on donated songs from artists of all types, fund- raiser concerts, tee-shirts sales, and other fund- razing idea’s from people like you. All donated songs to this site can be purchased by C.D. or download with all profits going to N.A.L.B.A. a non-profit charity. From there, 75% of all profits will go into an account to assist Social Security and sIt accumulating for one year. At the end of the year, 90% of all money in this account will be split up between anyone 50 to 70 years old that needs assistance. From there, they can receive full benefit from their S.S. A portion WILL GO to the people 70 & up who can no longer get full benefits from their S.S. The remaining 10% will stay in for the next year, every year. I am very excited about this idea because, in one year, people 50 and up could be receiving assistance if they need it for meds, house payment or rent-basically whatever they need help with. The other 25% will go into an account to end poverty. This money will go to build ,and fund, dorms and a free school specially designed for the homeless to individually teach them a trade that fits them and how to manage their money while offering them a room and a meal as long as they stay drug- free. I know if some of our already -established artists would take the time to write and donate a song to N.A.L.B.A. we would be Unstoppable! It would be like a retirement account that you would be starting for your fans that will make you rich and famous and to assure them that no matter how bad life gets, somebody will always be there to help them get back on their feet again. So, together let'’s change the American way from "Keep Up or Left Behind" to "No American Left Behind".
Did you know that every night WHEN we go to bed, there are approximately 1 million homeless American citizens out there cold, alone and dying a horrible death right now? But, with the right help and guidance, most of these people would be ALL right. The longer we wait ,the more will die cold and alone, thinking no one cares. Did you know that 159,000 of them are veterans? I know there are hundreds of shelters out there, but I don'’t think this is the answer. If we made it so THEY had to attend so many hours of schooling a day IN ORDER to use these facilities, that IT might help educate them. THEY NEED A WAY TO Not just stay warm for the night AND get sent back out on the streets again. I wonder why we don’t have schooling for the homeless. How else will they learn to better their lives? And what contact number do you put on an application when you don’t have a phone or house?
My first goal is to build dorms and a free school ,specially designed for the homeless that would individually teach them a trade that fits them and how to manage their money, while offering them a free room and a meal as long as they stay drug- free and attend so many hours of schooling a week. This school would be built and funded by N.A.L.B.A. After all, our public schools have failed these people and forgot them. What do you think about schooling for the homeless?
So if you would like to donate a song, play at a fund- raiser, or volunteer your time by sending you favorite artist a message telling them about N.A.L.B.A. Send me an e-mail me at: noamericanleftbehindact@yahoo.com and I will get back to you.
I am also starting a band and am looking for a: Lead Singer, Lead Guitarist, Bassist, and a Drummer. I have written five other songs and would like donate them too, but need a band. If you would like to set up an audition for one of these positions, e-mail at the blue link above.
My challenge to all musicians is to re-write the song I have donated-- Rock, Rap, Country, Hip-Hop, Classical, etc. Then donate your version back to N.A.L.B.A. where all profits will go to assist Social Security and End Poverty as we know it even 100 years from now if anyone purchases a song that has been donated to N.A.L.B.A.

Just from reading your first paragraph, I could tell you had a LOT of short, choppy sentences or some that were not sentences at all. I'll put my corrections in caps so you will know what to change. You also have a lot of "But this or that" beginnings--some are unnecessary, so I will delete the word "BUT" where it needs to be or change it to become part of a longer sentence. I hope you understand how I changed some things. I tried keeping your main idea intact. :)
