Resolution BY THE XXXXX District
endorsing introduction and passage of the citizen-initiated World Service Corps
(WSC) proposed congressional legislation in the109th (2005-06) congressional session..
WE,
the XXXXXX District ???? hereby proclaim our support for the citizen-initiated
World Service Corps proposals www.worldservicecorps.us which by the seventh year after its enactment
will add one million additional American volunteers into serving country and
world through such organizations as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for
Humanity, Head Start, Doctors Without Borders,, Red Cross, International Rescue
Committee, OxFam, Mercy Corps, and State Conservation Corps
Whereas the
WSC cost-effectively involves a million
more skilled, can-do Americans aged 18-60+ into working on world and domestic
problems, and thereby gives them a deeper understanding, concern for, and
ability to practically address domestic and international policy needs, while
raising America’s political IQ and,
Whereas the
WSC invests in America’s education, health, and economy through tuition,
Medical Savings or IRA Account investments, which are one-sixth of those
presently offered to military recruits, to those who complete service; and
thereby helps strengthen our knowledge of world and domestic needs, educational
and economic competitiveness, and our citizenry’s understanding of and voting
on public policy needs at home and in the world and,
WHEREAS a one million strong WSC offers a
cost-effective, robust, peaceful army to augment out courageous 1.4 million
military personnel; and thereby productively answers the increasingly alarming
and costly spread of the critically dangerous Ugly American image, terrorist
recruitment, poverty, environmental degradation, and misunderstandings that
inspire hatred, by involving many more of
America’s best assets, its concerned, patriotic citizens, in addressing needs.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the 6th
AD supports introduction and passage of the WSC proposals into legislation,
which encompasses the goal espoused by President Kennedy’s words:
“And so, my
fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do
for your country. My fellow citizens of
the world: ask not what
