National Singles Week Aims to Gain Respect for Singles

Aug. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- “Singles are the Rodney Dangerfields of our society,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. “They can’t get no respect. Singles are the victims of systematic discrimination, particularly in the areas of Taxes, Insurance, Retirement Benefits, Employee Benefits, Housing, and Unemployment Benefits.  That’s why we are proud to be the official sponsor of National Singles Week, September 18-24, 2011, the only week dedicated to the recognition of the special contributions of all singles.  The first National Singles Week was in 1982. The week has been declared by official proclamation of Governors throughout America, including California, and is listed in Chase's Calendar of Events, a directory of such events for the country.

   “Latest statistics reveal that there are 90 million single adults in America,” says Mr. Gosse, who is America’s foremost authority on the single lifestyle.  He is the author of eight books on this subject, including Singles Guide to America, You CAN Hurry Love, and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” – Oprah Winfrey).  His expert advice has been featured by ABC, BBC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Playboy, Playgirl, Business Week, The London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, and hundreds of other media outlets worldwide. Rich Gosse is the first candidate in history to campaign on a “Fairness for Singles Platform,” when he ran for Governor in California’s historic Recall Election in 2003.

    Mr. Gosse is available to the news media to discuss National Singles Week and Fairness for Singles by calling 415/479-3800. His website is www.RichGosse.com.
