Video and text from the White House:
Since his Inauguration, the President has called on all Americans to serve our communities and be a part of building a better future for our country. And given this unique moment in our history with the unprecedented challenges we are facing, there isn't a more important time than now for us to get involved.

That is why today the President is announcing United We Serve -- a call to action for all Americans to volunteer this summer and be part of building a new foundation for America, one community at a time.

We know that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when empowered with the proper tools. The Corporation for National Service, the federal agency dedicated to fostering service in communities across the country, is providing those tools on their website, Serve.gov. They make it easy to not only find volunteer opportunities in our neighborhoods, but also to create and promote our own projects.

  • The president didn't create the problem. The last administration had two terms to "fix" the problems this country face. The old boy system and master slave mentality has ruined this country . The Bible says a house divided cannot stand. We are truly The United States of Divided America, who no longer trust in God. Actually from the scathing comments in forums like this it's easy to see that most Americans believe in nothing except a perverted selfishness of me first. It's really not that bad ...

  • NO to be disrespectful, but when in the hell do you think in my 60 hour work week I have time to give?

    I pay a lot of Tax, work a lot, and the last thing I want to do is deal with more of you govt types who think I want to spend my time serving you who raped finacially every year supporting this pile of shit govt that has no respect for people like me who support it!

    It's time to respect the people who pay the taxes by having the people who unearned benifit checks serve America! GET REAL!
