Why?

“Proving America’s great again…

 via its do-good actions.”


Isn’t it time to deploy and employ for at least one generation a peaceful, productive, cost effective American army that will pay a million Americans a year to address spiraling national and international problems?

The American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposal does not create a new, big, taxpayer costly program.

 The AWSC enlarges existing and effective platoons such as Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for Humanity, Doctors Sans Borders, Head Start, Teacher Corps, Red Cross, International Rescue Committee, OxFam, Mercy Corps,  Mercy Ships, Save the Children, State Conservation Corps, schools, prison education programs,  homeless centers, drlocal do-good non-profits, etc. whose peaceful troopers will learn, do good, and inspire other nations to create their own can-do teams to do the same.         

Isn’t it time to  put a robust army on peaceful battlefields that wins hearts and minds by doing good and improving lives at home and abroad?    

Isn’t it time to have a large corps of Americans ready to respond quickly to natural disasters — quakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, etc. in the age of climate change?

Isn’t it time to put more full time volunteers in needy classrooms, Head Start schools, physical therapy wards, homes for the aged?

Isn’t it time to put more volunteers into the fields knocking poor housing down and replacing them with healthy housing for families?

Rather than so often knocking them down with missiles and leaving terrorists to pick up recruits from the remains?

Isn’t it time to inspire other nations  to field their own peaceful,development oriented world service corps?

Isn’t it time for an “involved generation”?  A generation that breaks down racial and dumbed-down barriers?  

Isn’t it time to build on the Buffet-Gates Giving Pledge by allowing the Wealth-X and Forbes 680 U. S. billionaires to  voluntarily donate 1% of their annual wealth to an escrowed account that invests in 21  million Americans doing healthy national service over 27 years?

Isn’t it time for hands-on peaceful national service rather than believing  TV or finger-punching pixelated screens is service?

Isn’t it time for national service that deals with the disasters Mother Nature is raining down down on us for  for trashing her for so long? 

2003 Shock and Awe begins displacing tens of thousands of Iraqi, crazed terrorists emerge  Sudan refugees mushroom, Asian tsunami… 2004 Pakistan’s earthquake, Katrina hurricane, floods… 2005 Los Angeles’ fires, San Francisco oil spill, Bangladesh’s cyclone… 2007 Myanmar cyclone, Midwest, China floods… 2008 Haiti, Chile earthquakes, Pakistan, China, India… Floods, Russian fires… 2010 Japan Tsunami, nuking, Arab uprising, losing USA’s Middle Class, Occupy, jobs, droughts, floods, riots… 2011 tornadoe swarms… 2012 Sandy… 2013 Egypt, Syria, ISIS, Arctic glaciers disappearing, tides rising, droughts spreading, 8 US weather & climate disasters exceeding $1 billion each… 2014 Ebola, ISIS, Syria & Yemen wars, refugees, Nepal earthquake, desperate boat people… 2015 heat waves, wildfires, floods… 2016 hottest year, more Artic melting, fires, refugees… 2017 floods worldwide, humongous hurricanes swarm  — Harvey, Irma, Maria… Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands…largest California wildfires in history… 2018 more humongous floods, fires, hurricanes (Michael, Florence…),larger than previously largest raging California fires…

Isn’t it time to heed the warnings of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II and President of the U.S. about the dangers of our increasing reliance on the military industrial estate?

Raining volunteers who grow good stuff.
Raining volunteers who grow good stuff.

Would the world be better off if for the last three generations the US had a robust AWSCNS program that had sent 50x’s as many Peace Corps and do-good organizations to this part of the world?

Why not change the world?
