We are America's wealth.

We get up every morning. We go out. We make things work.

We fix the plumbing. We clean the offices. We teach the kids. We drive the buses, the trains, the trucks. We coach the teams. We make the tools. We play the trumpets. We sew the quilts. We type the letters. We connect the phones. We work the counters and serve up American pie for lunch. We dropped out of high school and want to learn how to build a marketable skill rather than just get a certificate.

So why not make sure if we produce a dollar with our hard work, the value of our stock goes up on Our Street, not just on Wall Street?

Freedom means more than the right to vote every few years. It means being able to vote every day. It means the opportunity to own our ideas, our businesses and our streets. It means going to work in comfortable clothes; it means being able to raise kids and have a family and still hold down a job. And it means when we perform, that the value of our home and our stock goes up. For us to have equity, we have got to own the equity.

We built the America Dream. And we can build it anew if we have an opportunity to participate as owners.

The StreetEquity Network^TM was built for the American Entrepreneur. That’s you and me. It’s any man or woman in America who wants to earn equity based on their ideas and hard work and is willing to get up every morning and learn more about how to make things happen. The StreetEquity Network^TM website is a place for American Entrepreneurs to pick up and drop off tools and tips about how all the money works in your neighborhood and how money can be made. It's a street corner, a stoop, and a front porch for you and your partners.

There are many business ideas in Start a Business in Your Own Backyard, tools that may help you in Money Maps & Tools, and the opportunity to trade ideas, advice and networks with other street-savvy entrepreneurs in Talk Shop on the Street.

For those of you ready to give your next business a go, you can compete for initial support for your business dream in the StreetEquity^TM Venture Challenge Contest , an exciting opportunity offering a total of $25,000 in seed investment and the straight story from a team of investment bankers. Send in your best business ideas for raising yields in your neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods with businesses interested in growing---whether in backyards or growing along the street--- can learn how to create a Neighborhood Equity and Trust Corporation (NETCorp). A NETCorp is governed and managed by entrepreneurs and business leaders who want to focus on building venture capital and home ownership in the community in which they live and work. A NETCorp combines new technology with traditional American values. All the businesses in your neighborhoods can enjoy the profit margins that are generated from working together as a syndicate.

A NETCorp brings the benefits that come to small businesses that have their best customers owning stock in a corporation that focuses on the health of the neighborhood marketplace. A NETCorp is a vehicle for you and your business partners to transform your neighborhood to a HIGH YIELD NEIGHBORHOOD.

The StreetEquity Network^TM site is sponsored by The Hamilton Securities Group in Washington, DC and developed by a consortium of the Jordan Family Enterprises, Inc. (MELANET), MarketShip Consulting, and IntraSite, L.C. in Washington, DC and Norfolk, VA. We are small. We are employee owned. We believe America's equity was CREATED BY THE PEOPLE... FOR THE PEOPLE. We want to be part of the growth of America’s equity by working with entrepreneurs who feel the same way. It takes hard work and it takes new tools, but most of all it takes working together.

So let's do it!
