		<description>Hi Rolly,

Thanks for visiting ChangeAction.

There were some controversial amendments offered with the Serve America Act. We&#039;ll have to watch closely as the Senate and House reconcile their two bills to make sure that the final bill serves it&#039;s purpose, without undue restrictions on participants activities and that it makes the best use of our taxpayer dollars. As a general idea, I think voluntary national service is wonderful for the participants, for the economy, and for our social welfare. I particularly like that it would help to improve college accessibility to students who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend. 

Good luck with your own efforts in the Philippines. I&#039;ll look forward to hearing more about that.</description>

		<description>Serve America Act appears to be a very good idea notwithstanding some of the negative comments at Service Nation.

I intend to learn more about it.  That will require some time of course.  But afterwards, I intend not only to blog about it but to act on it!  Either forget about it altogether or, ask our lawmakers to come up with something like it for the Philippines!

One thing I&#039;ll never forget is that I first learned about it through your amazing blog!

Thanks Anne and God bless always.</description>
