“I had a wonderful experience visiting an AmeriCorps Program in Los Angeles. I want to tell my friend that the Americorps volunteer--and by the way, our Republican friends say: They are not volunteers. They get a stipend. They get money for their education.

Could they give of themselves and back to community if they did not have the stipend? Did not the people in the Peace Corps, I say to my friend, have a way to live while they gave their service?”
