Announcing his plan July 2 at the University of Colorado, he said: "We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities to serve. And we will direct that service to our most pressing national challenges." He will make us an offer we can't refuse.
Obama says that as president he will "set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year." What he doesn't say is that he'll make such voluntarism compulsory by attaching strings to federal education dollars. The schools will make the kids volunteer. It's called plausible deniability.
In America, we have so many groups that already help those in need. Why does Obama want us to (pressure us) to serve involuntary? To re-structure society and break down the American way of life. I want to be able to choose how I contribute (or not contribute) to society. Not the way Obama wants us to contribute by forcing us to serve.
