Our country includes millions of people with felony convictions and criminal records who find themselves labeled "unemployable," making re-entry into the workforce difficult. After paying their debt to society, many of these folks deserve a second chance. How can we use their talents and abilities and give them opportunities to be motivated, enthusiastic, and productive? How can we turn them into proud and productive taxpayers instead of watching them return to prison and again be a burden on society? No U-Turns offers them a way to find a job.

In our business, ex-offenders have turned out to be some of our best employees. We discovered this concept by accident, but it has worked so well for five years that we want to share our success with small business everywhere.

So we created this no-charge hiring website as a permanently-supported gift to America. It is our hope that businesses nationwide will find the same benefits we have found by hiring deserving people who are ready to work.

Yes, we said no charge! That's right, free to all concerned. There will never be any charge to job seekers or employers!

To develop and permanently support these resources required some creative ideas to avoid a costly staff and ongoing fund-raising efforts. First, we have no employees. Next, we use the existing offices and equipment of our manufacturing company. Further, although these websites were quite expensive to develop, we have designed them to require minimal maintenance and no interaction from a staff. Finally, we have no phone, fax, or email, because job seekers and employers interact directly with each other without our management. As a result, we are proud to say that this organization has almost no overhead.

So we have no plans for fund raising, even though we will accept tax free donations as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Money received from small business or private donors will be used for publicity - important for the first few years. But no government money will be accepted, nor will money be accepted from any organization that receives government money. Indeed, we are out to show that small business can do good work for our country without government support.

America's presidents have always asked us citizens to find ways to help our people and our country - this is such a way. This is creative entrepreneurship, volunteerism seeking to serve, and small business in action. You are witnessing the grassroots beginning of a truly new concept - one that will help American people, American small business, and American taxpayers.

No U-Turns was launched in May 2005, and we expect thousands of people will be using this resource daily within the next few years.

By using No U-Turns, you will be:

	Helping American ex-offenders by providing a supportive workplace, and by creating happier employees who are learning honesty, responsibility, and integrity,
	Helping American small business increase profits through improving productivity, cutting costs, and reducing turnover,
	Helping America by improving productivity, beginning to unload prisons, and adding taxpayers to the system instead of spending taxpayers' money on welfare abuse, increased police, etc. Spreading the principles of honesty, integrity, and responsibility in our citizens will have positive effects at all levels of government.

Please pray for the success of this concept for our people and our country.
