September of Giving

Take Action - September of Service

After September 11th millions of Americans gave their time and money to to help the families, emergency personnel, and others affected by the attack on America. President Bush in his January 2002 State of the Union Address said, "After America was attacked, it was as if our entire country looked into a mirror and saw our better selves. We were reminded that we are citizens, with obligations to each other, to our country and to history. We began to think less of the goods we can accumulate, and more about the good that we can do." This year he has called upon all Americans to take part in a "September of Service" by renewing, expanding or establishing our commitment to doing good. Here are some ways you can "serve" your country today:

I received this from my Arizona4Bush2004 Yahoo group, but there were no links, though it was laid out and worded as if there should be. I have cleaned it up a bit and added links - hopefully they are the right ones. If anyone has seen this online somewhere let me know, I will link to the proper source.
