Gubmint Forced Volunteering

I have been and will be rather busy playing in the sewing room. So any postings and opining will be short.

WASHINGTON – The AmeriCorps program started by President Bill Clinton will triple in size over the next eight years, and tens of thousands of other Americans will soon see new opportunities to give back to their communities.

It’s all part of a $5.7 billion national service bill President Barack Obama is scheduled to sign Tuesday to foster and fulfill people’s desire to make a difference, such as by mentoring children, cleaning up parks or building and weatherizing homes for the poor.

Gubmint ain’t gonna fulfill your desire for nothin. You are the only one who can fulfill your desires.

The White House said Monday that the president “will call on people across the country to serve their communities and work together to tackle the nation’s tough challenges.”

What is this “will call on people…” crap.  Sounds suspicious to me.
