volunteering

Initiate an incentivized public service plan that engages Americans in community service on unprecedented levels for the first 100 days.

Doing good with your faith in mind is good. Volunteering with your church? Good. Government paying for faith-based initiatives is BAD and unconstitutional. The government should have no dealings with religion. It should encourage volunteerism and social service in all its citizens rather than restrict its help to faith-based organizations. (Kids should be raised to volunteer, but that's a different rant.)

Motivate the American people to get up and be change agents in their own world. Teach them, guide them, and help them to find the strength, skills, and determination to build their own organizations and stand up for the causes they believe in. We can't ask the President to fix all the problems of the world, but we can, should, and must ask him/her to do as much as they can to help us as we try to. Indeed, democracy is about participation of the whole, not the leadership of the few.
