We are at war with poverty, looming depressions, climate change, and tunnel vision. It's time for America to combine the robust and healthy visions promulgated by FDR's CCC/WPA and JFK's underbuilt Peace Corps by compensating a million Americans a year to voluntarily serve in fighting this war in their choice of existing do-good organizations such as Peace Corp, AmeriCorps, Habitat, Doctors Without Borders, Head Start, Red Cross, International Rescue Committee, Oxfam, Mercy Corps, State Conservation Corps, local non-profits, etc.
Doing an AWSC is likely to inspire other nations like China, Russia, Brazil, Iran, etc., to build similar armies that grow and compete on the fields of development rather than warfare. Learn more at www.WorldServiceCorps.us .
Use the AWSC to involve Americans in working on -- rather than filling hours texting on small screens and TV-watching on big screens about -- real world problems. Doing a robust AWSC will keep us out of future economy breaking wars, build skills, strengthen our characters, increase our experienced based reasoning ability, expose us to what's truly important to a healthy life, and thereby raise our public policy IQs.
Help make it happen by signing the fresh American World Service Corps White House petition or paste http://wh.gov/4y6 within the next 25 days.
Dwayne Hunn pushes the www.WorldServiceCorps.us after having served in the Peace Corps, on the start-up team of the California Conservation Corps, with several Habitat Builds, and as Executive Director of www.PeoplesLobby.us . Nader put his first book "Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary" on his 2009 Top Ten Books to Read List. His recent book is " Every Town Needs a Castle ," a prelude to "Every Country Needs a World Service Corps."
Sign the new, fresh petition to the White House http://wh.gov/4y6 to have the WH seriously consider implementing People's Lobby's American World Service Corps Congressional Proposal ( AWSC) . It's a jobs program that makes us smarter and the world better and extends the Fourth Turning.
