RE: Proposed World Service Corps Bill/Resolution seeks your co-sponsorship

 

Dear Senator Clinton:

I enjoyed watching you and Senator McCain thinking live and responding civilly on Meet the Press on February 20th.  I found your use of the term ‘vigorously engaging in the world” appropriate for today’s needs.  The enclosed proposal vigorously engages Americans and is reminiscent of some of JFK’s policies that seem to have inspired some of your husband’s goals as president.

As a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee, you know the cost we bear by not making the global village less prone to draining the blood of our brave soldiers in it.  We need dynamic, cost-effective, long-term engagement that makes the global village more likely to turn out understanding, healthy citizens rather than fundamentalist, angry radicals.  The WSC proposal does that, while addressing long-term homeland, economic, and national security needs.  Therefore, I hope you will co-sponsor the resolution along with Senator McCain and others.

The WSC proposal uses a Warm Draft and a public-non-governmental agency joint venture to engage a million peaceful American warriors into addressing the world’s needs.  In this Warm Draft, young Americans choose service in Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, Doctors Sans Borders, and the Red Cross, while older Americans can volunteer.  We live in a dangerous nuclear and bio-terror era.  We need bold policies in which all Americans can engage to reduce the likelihood that fundamental ignorance can blow us backwards into a Darkened Era.

I look forward to your reply.  Thanks for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,
