Peoples Lobby Press Release
May 12, 2007
The
Network of National Spiritual Progressives, Tikkun Magazine, and Rabbi Michael
Lerner urge support of Peoples Lobby citizen-initiated
American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposals
Rabbi
Lerner, leader of the Network of Spiritual Progressives and Editor of Tikkun
Magazine recently issued a strong endorsement of Peoples Lobby’s
citizen-initiated American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional
Proposals. Excerpts from their support
statement follow.
“…Peoples Lobby’s AWSC congressional
proposals, available on their website www.WorldServiceCorps.us,
call upon Congress to build and deploy a peaceful productive volunteer army
that can spread the Strategy of Generosity at home and abroad. As proposed, this new peace and justice force
will spread acts of kindness that lay the foundations for a Global Marshall
Plan.
“Many of our spiritual efforts are uphill
battles. Implementing and deploying the
AWSC is an uphill political battle that provides dramatic spiritual wins. If enacted in this Congress, the AWSC
legislation will be among the most significant legislation passed in decades. It deploys a peaceful army that eliminates
the need for war by containing and erasing terror, poverty, and ignorance
through acts of love and kindness.”
