You don't "really" learn to build a house from a How-To book. You don't "truly" learn about the global village watching Fox or Al Jazeera News. You learn building and logical thinking by dealing with real world predicaments. For a couple generations now, too many Americans have forgotten how to observe, learn, and build thoughtful, helpful communities. Consequently, we've followed trite political phrases leading to disastrous public policies Implementing the AWSC Congressional Proposals builds healthy communities and creates smarter public policies.

Haven't we had enough Ron Kovics, Patrick McCaffrey...? In the 21st century, we need a peaceful productive army that builds not bombs nations. The organizations named in People's Lobby's non-partisan American World Service Corps Congressional Proposals builds that productive army that has yanks compete on the field of sane, healthy development. Push your Congressperson to cosponsor the AWSC, so we lose fewer legs and loving hearts.

Americans are capable of building and leading a strategy to change the character of America’s public policy to one that successfully wages peace via pushing People’s Lobby’s citizen-initiated American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposals. For a nation founded on "We the people..." having citizen-initiated legislation change the world should not be considered too far "out of the box."

If Poland invaded America because Columbia killed 3,000 Polish citizens and then killed, wounded, created refugees, and made unemployed 46% of America’s population, would you secretively and openly harbor hatred for any Poles who continued occupying America?

How many others would you influence to harbor similar emotions?

Since 2002 actual Head Start funding has been dramatically cut, while mandates and needs have grown. Public high schools have increased needs, fewer public funds and, consequently, cut classes and extracurricular activities. In this age of growing needs coupling with disasters and disappearing finances, we need the paid-for resources People’s Lobby’s American World Service Corps Congressional Proposals provides our education system and the world.

We fall into wasteful wars because too few citizens understand domestic and world needs. Our most indelible educations come from first hand experiences. Moving Americans from bumper sticker analysis into meaningful world service does more than screeching complaints about the State of the World. Pressing Congress to enact People's Lobby's American World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposals provides indelible learning educations. Service under the AWSC umbrella provides us the first hand experiences that allows us to engage in the world as a productive, smart, competitive nation again.

Unfortunately, this was only a small fraction of the support these countries needed. And the support was purely military, leaving the impression of U.S. military power as our dominant theme. Of course, there were many non-U.S. government charities, relief and assistance groups in the area, but their actions were not part of any official "strategy," and they could not make up for the lack of U.S. government non-military of¬ficial "outreach." For all our good words and noble intent, American diplomacy still lacks these fundamental underpinnings required for us to provide effective assistance abroad.
