Now, the national youth corps is optional:
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

Open government is a very good thing and it will prevent the new administration from being painted as Orwellian.
Change.
