From Service Nation
"There are currently two bills – the GIVE Act in the House and the Serve America Act in the Senate. If both bills pass, they will be reconciled together into one bill. Both Acts propose using service as a strategy for addressing some of our most serious challenges in areas such as education, health, and environmental and energy conservation. They will give Americans meaningful opportunities to meet growing needs in their communities. The GIVE Act is about to hit the House floor, and we need to make sure it passes.
E.J. Dionne writes about this legislation in his column in yesterday's Washington Post. He says, 'Both Barack and Michelle Obama have a passion for the service idea, and...the United States is close to making its largest commitment to civilian service since the New Deal.'"
