What Bill will have Hatch and Kennedy as sponsors?

[Winterblues]

I missed the part about what the Bill will contain. I heard it will deal with Education but missed the details other than it will have Hatch and Kennedy as Sponsors.

1. Healthcare. n/t

2. I thought it was fully funding NCLB..

That hasn't really had a chance, since in typical Repube fashion, they never fully funded it.

3. Boy I really missed it then

I thought they were talking about Education. Was anything detailed about it or just that it was to be a bipartisan bill?

Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) today introduced the “Serve America Act,” a bill to expand national and community service opportunities for all Americans. Senators Mikulski, McCain, Dodd, Cochran, Reid, Gregg, Durbin, Wicker, Murray, Snowe, Kerry, Lincoln, Cardin, Rockefeller, Schumer, Whitehouse, Menendez, Bayh and Landrieu are also sponsors of the legislation.

The goal of the legislation is to encourage 175,000 more Americans to give a year of service to address specific national challenges such as strengthening our schools or increasing economic opportunities, thereby expanding the number of such service participants to 250,000. The legislation will also increase opportunities for individuals to serve at any stage of their life, from childhood through retirement, and will support social entrepreneurs with innovative solutions to tackle our most pressing problems.
