Those that know me well, know I am not into politics. In fact, God gave me verses about the election that indicated I was to pray that his power might be shown. Romans 9:17-18. Go read and join me in prayer.

If you are considering voting for Obama, go read this on his website. For you history buffs does it sound like anything else you ever studied?

- everyone, regardless of age, should volunteer
- schools will train kids to be volunteers
- plan to track volunteer hours and experiences
- inspire our youth to be in the military
- make our military bigger and better

Why do we need a bigger military if the Democrats want us out of wars?

Obama and Biden will set a goal that all middle and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year.
...
Require 100 Hours of Service in College: Obama and Biden will establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.

I would think that paying someone $40/hr would not be "requiring" but I guess if you have to do it, it is.

I'm not into politics either, but the more I read/hear about this guy's ties to extremist groups, the more he scares me.
