Bump! Just curious' date=' did anyone else get the chance to look at this link yet? http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/National ... tSheet.pdf It is still shocking to me to read what Obama has in mind for the U.S. Oh, and the title says that the service is "voluntary", but a quick read of the "plan" doesn't make it sound voluntary......especially for students in public school. It would only be considered voluntary in the idea that you could go to a private school that had no such requirements. Well, unless he outlaws that, that is.[/quote']

Social Investment Fund Network: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will create a Social Investment Fund
Network. This will be a government-supported nonprofit corporation, similar to the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting, that will use federal seed money to leverage private sector funding to improve local innovation,
test the impact of new ideas and expand successful programs to scale. The fund will operate through a network
of funds that will be rooted in the private sector at the community level, with local decision-making informed
by a shared network of best practices. For example, a successful nonprofit organization could apply for funding
to study ways to improve or expand the organization to other locations. Or an angel investor could work with
the fund to identify high-quality nonprofits that should be expanded to other locations and invest in that
expansion. The network of funds would bring experts skilled at analyzing data, picking winners, measuring
results, and building capacity to work, and would be driven by the following key principles:
? Results-Focused?Funds would provide financial capital to nonprofit organizations based on rigorous
criteria and analysis to ensure the highest likelihood of results, particularly projects that would yield a return
on investment, such as savings on future public services.
? Community-Directed?Funded efforts would respond to specific community-identified priorities. For
example, one community might focus on crime prevention while another might choose education.

What would happen to the community that chose religious instruction at the local IFB Church?
