I'm not kidding. I went to the TIPS site and signed up to be a TIPSter on the day the whole sick thing was revealed. Today I got an email from citizencorps@fema.gov. It told me:
Today President Bush launched the newly redesigned USA Freedom Corps web site and the new USA Freedom Corps volunteer network while celebrating the six-month anniversary of the USA Freedom Corps. To help make a difference in communities across the country and around the world, the President also launched a new public service advertising campaign designed to start people thinking of what they can do to help others. The ads send viewers, listeners and readers to http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov.
Please check out the new web site and the public service announcements and consider passing this information along to friends and family members to offer them a new way to get involved.
I went to the website, where I was thanked for responding to the President's call to service, and given the opportunity to register my hours of service.
I really resent tax dollars being spent on such blatantly political nonsense.
