Please help our nation. Sent from Barack Obama's BlackBerry
OBJECTIVE
Obama uses a blackberry still as president
TERMS

If this objective is met, then people will pledge 1 hour of service to this nation.

THE PITCH

In his acceptance speech President-elect Barack Obama called on us for a “new spirit of service” because that is what it is going to take to remake this nation.

Well, we want a president who is “on the grid.” We want a commander-in-chief who can use tools like email and text messages from his phone. If the government can tap my phone, I’m sure they can record the President’s BlackBerry messages—and I’m also sure he is smart enough to no send a nuclear code in a text message.

So, Obama, figure out how to keep your BlackBerry once you’re the president and you’ll get all these extra civilian hours of service!

Having once been myself a full-time volunteer, I do see a need for a revamping of a spirit of service in our country. I think it is a worthwhile way to spend our time and I look forward to finding something real interesting to spend my hour. In fact, I’d be willing to organize a Chicago service event for those of us in Chicago who joined this campaign.

Also, we have a very interesting history of young volunteerism in our history with the creation of Peace Corps and the VISTA program along with a surprising amount of other programs that were all born around the time of Sargent Shriver and JFK.

There is a real interesting movie that was made in the past few years about Shriver called American Idealist: The Story of Sargent Shriver that is quite interesting. Here is a link to the site:

The movement towards service I believe is one worth revamping and will only add to our now epic switch from the most apathetic generation in history to a quite active one.

I also think that not allowing Obama to have his Blackberry is downright old fashioned.
