RE: Proposed World Service Corps (WSC) Resolutions seeks your co-sponsorship

 

Dear Congressman Rangel:

 

Thanks for your 34 years of Congressional service fighting for equal opportunities for all.  I have always admired your unflinching approach in fighting for your beliefs.  I hope you find that my proposals fit with your beliefs.

Congresswoman Woolsey, a strong believer in the proposals, told me that you proposed and may re-introduce H.R. 3503, which would create a national volunteer service corps available to respond to domestic or international situations as necessary.  Since your bill sounds like it has some of the components that are encased in my proposals, I hope you will enthusiastically co-sponsor the World Service Corp bills.  As long as I am able to continue donating time to the WSC proposals, I believe I can build substantial support for the proposals.  Building WSC support can only help efforts such as HR 3503 and, consequently, increase the nation’s understanding of why such programs are needed.

My two WSC proposals call for national service, particularly by those aged 18-26.  Under the proposals, those who serve have their choice of serving in the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, Doctors without Borders, or the Red Cross.  One proposal would require one year of service for all 18 -26 year olds.  If Americans choose the second WSC proposal and volunteered for two years of service, two years of community college and two years of state college or vocational training or graduate school tuition fees would be paid.

Would you co-sponsor both WSC proposals?

Similar requests have thus far been made to those CCed below.

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

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Dwayne Hunn
