I wanted to depart from our usual business centric posts and mention something encouraging about government. Crazy, right!?

Yesterday, the White House announced the launch of www.Serve.gov.  Serve.gov is an internet platform to help willing volunteers and project coordinators share and contribute to service projects within a given area.

I think most entrepreneurs want smaller government.  But I think most entrepreneurs also want a society that takes care of its poor, elderly, handicapped, and people with other disadvantages.  In order to make that happen without compulsory taxation, we need to volunteer our time to the causes we believe in. Serve.gov is a powerful platform and community for making this happen.

Regardless of how you feel about the President’s ideas and responses regarding banking, auto manufacturing, healthcare, turmoil in the Middle East, etc., this is a positve step for conservatives and liberals alike to make an impact in our communities and improve our nation.  And we can do it without increasing our tax bill or obligating our grandchildren to pay for our crises and initiatives (via the national debt).

Take a look at the site, register, and consider adding a project.  When you do, tell us about it below!
