Perriello Urges Passage of National Service Bill

"There's a responsibility on all of us to answer that call to serve."

"At a moment that our country is in desperate need of a character check, a gut check, I think so many of us have found that sense of values and that sense of purpose from our commitment to service."

"...every American feels a call to service, this cannot be something that only rich, young people can afford."

"Once people have volunteered a little bit, they become a volunteer for life. Volunteerism is addictive, because you see the impact you're making on someone else's life."

"At every moment of national crisis, we see a call to serve."

We are lucky to have Tom Perriello in Congress.

UPDATE: Tom Perriello discusses his amendment to create a National Service Reserve Corps as part of the GIVE Act. The amendment passed the House 339-93.
