Today, Bruce Reed wrote a post on national service for "Ideas Primary", the blog of the Democratic Leadership Council. Mr. Reed suggests that service should be a lifelong activity, that is not just the purview of young people. He argues that one way to ensure lifelong participation in service is through legislation in the form of "service leave".
Apart from the notion of service leave, Mr. Reed's post is interesting because it shows that the "New Democrats" are still interested in national service legislation. Between Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, Bruce Reed, and the PPI's Will Marshall, I expect plans for national service to certainly surface in the next election cycle.
