Dwayne served in the Peace Corps in the slums of Mhumbhai, India, worked several Habitat Projects, and was on the start-up team of the California Conservation Corps. He has a Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate Universty, has been a builder, teacher, political organizer, small businessman, affordable housing developer, and a rock piler at Rubel's Castle http://rubelcastle.com/gallery/.
His recent well-regarded book about the castle at www.dwaynehunn.biz/every_town_needs_a_castle.htm


Some background Rubelian stories http://dwaynehunn.biz/rubelia.htm
He is presently Executive Director of People's Lobby Inc (PLI, 501c4)and People's Lobby's Education Foundation (PLEF, 501c3). You can read PLI's American World Service Corps Congressional Proposal (AWSC) at
http://www.worldservicecorps.us/world%20service%20key%20proposal%202yr%20volunteer.htm . Congresswoman Woolsey (D, CA) offered to introduce it in the 111th Congress, then retracted. Please contact your Congreessional Reps and ask them to become an original sponsor or cosponsor. The AWSC citizen-initiated congressional proposals could be, with you pushing your representatives, among the most significant legislaiton passed and imnplemented in decades. Imagine having 21 million Americans cost effectively doing good at home or abroad over the next 27 years.
In December 2009 Ralph Nader choose People's Lobby's book, "Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary, the story of Ed & Joyce Koupal's People's Lobby" as one of the Ten Best Books to Read for 2009. You can purchase the book from the PeoplesLobby.us or WorldServiceCorps.us website.
"This country runs on laws. If you want to change the country, write its laws," People's Lobby's founders Ed and Joyce Koupal used to say. If you want to enlighten public policy, involve millions of Americans in addressing public needs. The AWSC will do both.
Sign the NEW INTERACTIVE American World Service Corps letter, which contacts Congress for you. Or paste http://www.change.org/petitions/view/field_21_million_american_world_service_corps_volunteers_over_the_next_27_years
Please help make the AWSC happen. To learh more about People's Lobby, visit the web site at Peopleslobby.us.
