"If we could get volunteers to start in another state and keep extending this program, we could have a nation-wide organization of everyone working together. This cooperation and building of trust, and talking about problems, could eliminate some of the irresponsibility of our nation."

U.S. Attorney Janet Reno, is an excellent role model. According to an AP article 11/8/96 despite a mild form of Parkinson's disease and her incredible schedule and responsibility, she said "Last week, I was out at Habitat for Humanity sanding a ceiling for six hours and painting." Whose time is more valuable than the U.S. Attorney General? A fantastic role model! If she can give so selflessly of her time, why can't the rest of us?
