Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton:
President Carter in 1980, in responds to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan, stated the Persian Gulf was of vital national interest to the United States and world economy. He also asked a Democratic Congress to reactivate the male only registration program for the Selective Service System as an expression of American resolve.
At that time local Congressman for Palo Alto, Paul N. “Pete” McCloskey already had a bill in the House to replace the Selective Service System with a National Youth Service System. McCloskey later became in 1991 the 1st chairman of the Commission on National and Community Service.
The core principles of McCloskey’s 1979 bill was to challenge both females and males with registration at 17, a one-year debate on the role of civic engagement, participatory democracy, and at 18 indicate any interest in volunteering for community or military service, by responding yes, no, hell no, maybe.
Senator Clinton, since 9/11 President Bush has constantly said we are a nation at war, but has only challenged the military to sacrifice in sweat and blood, using {hard-power} primary rather than an aggressive use of {soft-power}, NGO’s and internet technology to inspire this nation and other democracies towards solutions for the 21st Century.
Senator Clinton I request, ---I ask you as a veteran---, to raise these core principles as future law with citizens across this nation, and in the Presidential debates. Asking concerned citizens to support this nation-wide, year-after-year wake up call, by replacing the Selective Service System with these core principles of voluntary service with enhanced registration for both females and males towards civic engagement both in community service, military service, and like the Peace Corps, international service!
Thank you PeterView, May 30th 2007
I have scattered throughout this page more than one hundred close encounters with leaders and “people of influence”, so far with near total silence from them on this 28 year imperative, national priority. It is a mystery, why in this age of instant communication, abundance of media production this issue is ignored, help me solve it please.

President Bush talks to Brian Williams
An exclusive conversation on the one-year anniversary of Katrina landfall
By Brian Williams --- Anchor & “Nightly News” managing editor --- Updated: 6:38 p.m. PT Aug 29, 2006
NEW ORLEANS - President Bush was here Tuesday and again admitted that the government response fell short “at all levels.” He spoke at the city's oldest high school and he visited local music legend Fats Domino. He covered a lot of ground and in the blazing mid-afternoon sun, he took time for a wide-ranging and exclusive conversation with us.

WILLIAMS: The folks who say you should have asked for some sort of sacrifice from all of us after 9/11, do they have a case looking back on it?
BUSH: Americans are sacrificing. I mean, we are. You know, we pay a lot of taxes. America sacrificed when they, you know, when the economy went into the tank. Americans sacrificed when, you know, air travel was disrupted. American taxpayers have paid a lot to help this nation recover. I think Americans have sacrificed.

===============================================
I wrote to over 200 White House staff in various departments, such as: Strategic Initiatives, Communications, Media Affairs, Speechwritng, Cabinet Affairs, White House Counsel, Faith-Based & Community Affairs, USA Freedom Corps, Inter-governmental Affairs, Legislative Affairs, Political Affairs, Public Liaison, Correspondence, Council of Economic Advisors, Council of Environmental Quality, National Security Council, Homeland Security, etc…. 200+ letters. These were the only replies. from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20500
I am a life long learner, interest in idealistic solutions that scale globally, to each small community and state government across this great nation. We need a national and local debate on what participatory democracy means today and to our challenging future.
I find human communication very challenging, try to be easy going, reasonable.
Get tired of indifferent people, both male and female, bitching and complaining in simplistic terms about the problems and institutions of society, but want somebody else to make it right and leave them alone.
I view these people as stubborn, narrow, minded ego's, even at times I am one, maybe at time you are, or probably have way to many in your life.
In 1979 I requested my Congressman Norm Mineta, former Secretary of Transportation in current Bush Administration, to debate the merits of HR 1730-1979 { A National Service Act see blog .4} which would have challenge each generation between 17-18 to consider volunteering for community service or military service or just say no not interested. I proposed to him the creation of an Energy Conservation Corps as an alternative to a future U.S. war in the Persian Gulf. He declined to support even a debate over the merits of this legislation.
Since 9-11 I have renewed my efforts, and have had many brief close encounters with people of influence.
I hope you can look over the many photos on display now and into the future as I carry on this debate 27 years later.
Description of photos to follow soon.

New photo's, trying to get in the mood to add subtitles, think it would help?
