Government Usurpation of Volunteerism
By Paul M. Weyrich
From the beginning of our history, Americans have actively and spontaneously engaged in civic and political life by forming voluntary associations. This week the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R. 2857, the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, more creatively known as the GIVE Act. If passed and signed into law, the bill would revise and reauthorize appropriations for numerous community service programs through Fiscal Year 2012. It puts Congress in the business of specifically encouraging community service by Baby Boomers. Who knew this was one of the obligations and enumerated powers of Congress under the Constitution?

It is very disappointing to Heaven's Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc., that our government spends 42 million dollars on letters about a tax refund, billions in Iraq, and yet the G.I.V.E. Act struggles for acceptance.
Heaven's Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc. would thrive in a country that embraces the G.I.V.E. Act.
Service-Learning has immeasurable value!!
Check out "The U.T.O.P.I.A. Project" and discover the power of Service-Learning for yourself.
Pay close attention to the U.T.O.P.I.A. System and please listen to the beginning message.

If they don't pass the G.I.V.E. Act, "We the People" will have to GIVE more of our tax money for prisons, GIVE more of our tax money for drug and alcohol abuse, GIVE more of our tax money for teenage pregnancy, and GIVE more of our tax money for welfare.
The G.I.V.E. Act and a proactive approach seems so much more logical, supportive, and responsible.
A vote for Service-Learning and support for Service-Learning will enrich this country, its youth, and its educators. It will also keep more money in your wallet in the long run.
When you realize how valuable Service-Learning is, please call your representatives and persuade them to pass the G.I.V.E. Act.
God Bless all who support the G.I.V.E. Act!
Sincerely,
Laura Ann Osterman
Founder and President
