The thing I like about President Obama is that he is straight to the point with no hype. In a recent speech to address this nation’s schools, he said that everyone has a responsibility. Well, that’s a fact that I can’t argue with. He charged teachers, parents, students and governments to help turn around schools that aren’t working. The job belongs to us and he is right when he said that none of it will matter unless we each do our part.

In support of Dave Kelly’s Building Leaders Through Service Network I submit this September 2008 video that highlights and links to a campaign to inspire a new era of voluntary citizen service in America – ServiceNation.org. I invite you to join an effort – any effort – to expand national and community service. Like the song says, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” We’d like to hear about your efforts to build a nation of service, reach out a helping hand, be a good neighbor or perform other random acts of kindness on your campus or in your community. PEACE.
