PoliticalHeresy

There are plenty of people out there still reporting on the history of Obama’s voting record and his past associations, etc.  Some of that might be important, but I think assembling a list of his new policies originating after the election would be much more interesting and informative.  I will try to keep an updated running list.

1.  America Serves
Obama will require middle school and high school students to serve 50 hours of community service and college students 100 hours of community service every year.  President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps.  He will also encourage retiring adults to serve.
