Service in the Media

Mar 27, 2009 Posted by Kim Wollner

    While the Serve America Acts awaits a vote in the Senate, Time Magazine and the New York Times published pieces urging its approval.  
    In the past weeks we have seen a surge of media around the Serve America Act and GIVE Act.  This includes the Boston Globe piece.  
    Time Magazine’s most recent issue includes an opinion piece written by President Barack Obama explaining his personal experiences with service for America and why this legislation needs to go through.   A personal call from the President of the United States shows the importance of this legislation and necessity for its approval.
    And the New York Times carries a piece stating that “This is a chance to constructively harness the idealism of thousands of Americans eager to contribute time and energy to solving the nation’s problems — a chance not to be missed.”

    All of these pieces show the public interest in the Serve America Act, and you can show yours as well.  Write a letter to the editor or opinion piece to your local newspaper to show your support for the Serve America Act.
