Marin Democratic Central Committee 2007

Leave a comment

APPROVED FEBRUARY 1, 2007

WHEREAS the American World Service Corps (AWSC) cost-effectively involves a million more skilled, can-do Americans aged 18-60+ into working on world and domestic problems, and thereby gives them a deeper understanding, concern for, and ability to practically address domestic and international policy needs, while raising America’s political IQ and,

WHEREAS the AWSC invests in America’s education, health, and economy through tuition, Medical Savings, or IRA Account investments, (which at approximately $17,000 is one-sixth or less of the recruitment bonus presently offered to military recruits) to those who complete AWSC service; and thereby helps strengthen our knowledge of world and domestic needs, educational and economic competitiveness, and our citizenry’s understanding of and voting on public policy needs at home and in the world and,

WHEREAS a one million strong AWSC offers a, robust, peaceful volunteer civilian corps to augment out courageous 1.4 million military personnel; and thereby productively answers the increasingly alarming and costly spread of the critically dangerous Ugly American image, terrorist recruitment, poverty, environmental degradation, and misunderstandings that inspire hatred, by involving many more of America’s best assets, its concerned, patriotic citizens, in addressing needs; and it does so cost-effectively by legislating the use of the following funding mechanisms: 1) Public web sites: Listing public education incentivized donations by the Forges Riches 400. 2)  Public education incentivized donations by corporations that have paid little or no taxes.  3) Miniscule import levee on those developed nations with which we have a significant trade deficit.  4) Foundation grants.  5) General tax revenues.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Marin Democratic Central Committee proclaims our support for the introduction and passage of the AWSC concepts into legislation, which encompasses the goal espoused by President Kennedy’s words:  “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country.  My fellow citizens of the world: ask not whatAmerica will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Marin Democratic Central Committee requests that during these critical times all our elected representatives support and congressional representatives introduce and pass Peoples Lobby’s citizen-initiated American World Service Corps Congressional Proposals as promptly as possible.

The Marin Democratic Central Committee adds its support, as did the California State Democratic Party on January 28, 2006, to Peoples Lobby’s citizen-initiated American World Service Corps Congressional Proposals, which by the seventh year after its enactment will add one million additional American volunteers into serving country and world through such organizations as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, International Rescue Committee, OxFam, Mercy Corps, and State Conservation Corps.

Dear Mr. Hunn,

Veterans United For Truth, Inc. gladly endorses the proposal of the People’s Lobby Inc. to form an American World Service Corps. We endorse the goals of that effort as embodied in your proposed federal legislation.

Those who have borne the brunt of the country’s military excursions into foreign lands, know better than most how much additional, non-military programs would help to meet this country’s foreign policy goals, while doing real good in the world.

We are proud to be recorded as supporters of your proposal.

Sincerely,

Robert M. Handy

Dear Mr. Hunn,

The Veterans’ Caucus of the California Democratic Party is proud to endorse your proposal for an American World Service Corps.

We agree that only when the United States matches its military might with its capability to do good will we lessen the need to exercise that might. We also agree that such service as is envisioned by the American World Service Corps initiative is what is needed to expand the original idea of the Peace Corps to encompass the full range of services that a successful country should offer the world in its foreign policy.

Please list our organization among your supporters.

Sincerely,

Robert M. Handy

Resolution of Support

For Peoples Lobby’s citizen-initiated

America’s World Service Corps

Congressional Proposals

  WHEREAS Democrats for America-Marin are dedicated to help fellow citizens to better themselves and to improving their public policy decision making, and

 WHEREAS recent natural calamities, growth in terrorist recruitment ant terrorists acts, spreading pockets of poverty and increasing income disparity remind us of our need to field a respected, effective, and substantial team of peaceful, productive volunteers, which Presidents from John Kennedy through George H. and George W. Bush have urged Americans to build, and

 WHEREAS a preponderance of scientists contend that Global Climate change is underway and our Bay Area will not be exempt from the problems associated with recent hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, floods, and inadequate disaster responses and

 Whereas within eight years of implementation the Peoples Lobby’s citizen-initiated American World Service Corps (AWSC) proposed congressional legislation, one million additional Americans would be nation building in pockets of need at home and abroad under the umbrella organization of America’s World Service Corps (AWSC), and

Whereas these one million additional Americans would be nation building in pockets of need at home and abroad through established, effective organizations such as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, International Rescue Committee, OxFam, Mercy Corps, and State Conservation Corps,  and

WHEREAS those who live in pockets of need, greed, and ignorance at home or abroad would value and respect the benefits having one million Americans helping them better themselves, and

Whereas Democrats for America-MARIN  supports the nation  building performed by those organizations that would comprise the umbrella organization of America’s World Service Corps (AWSC) and value the work such volunteers do, and

 Whereas Democrats for America-MARIN know, value and understand the need for more Americans to engage in such work in today’s global village of needs, and

 Whereas the voluntary citizen service that will result from implementing America’s World Service Corps exemplifies the progressive ideals that we espouse, and

 Whereas the financial and other incentives offered to those who volunteer are cost effective and strengthen our college, vocation, and graduate education programs and/or our medical and retirement needs, and

 Whereas by having successive waves of Americans practicing these ideals in the classroom of the world’s needs will dramatically raise America’s public policy IQ and thereby make life safer for the world’s and America’s citizens and soldiers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Democracy For America-Marin on June 29, 2006  urges its elected representatives and citizens of California and the nation to support Peoples Lobby  citizen-initiated America’s World Service Corps (AWSC) proposed congressional legislation www.WorldServicecorps.us <http://www.worldservicecorps.us/> .www.PeoplesLobby.us <http://www.peopleslobby.us/>   We hereby encourage Congressional representatives to cosponsor and pass the proposals into law
