If you visit the website for the Office of the President-Elect, one of the pages that you will notice is one titled “America Serves“. Expecting to see a call to volunteer? Yeah, me too. But instead we get Obama’s plan to create a “corps” like the peace corps and americorps for lots [...]

Party Merge?
