That may be true neustria but Im not responsible for dodd. Im only responsible for getting as much people help as I can. I believe in volunteer experience and so that is what I support and the efforts toward it. the bill is important as long as it is for good bc the welfare of people is what matters. America needs help. young adults need to be exposed to whats really going on in the world. Im not blind to the corruption, im just learning to see the light when things are dark.

This initiative ws sponsored by Senator Dodd. On 19/3, Treasury Chief Geithner indicated that his staff worked with him on inserting language into the recent stimulus bill that created a loophole for AIG to exploit in order to receive $200-billion in bonuses. As the ranking member of the US Senate Committee on Banking, from 2003 - 2008, he accepted donations from AIG totaling $225,000. In 2008, he received $157,200 from Citigroup - total annual take of $854,200 from all TARP recipients!
