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. The USA Freedom Corps network brings together the resources of clearing houses -- including Citizen Corps programs -- in one place to offer potential volunteers opportunities to get involved with more than 50,000 organizations through a landmark e-government initiative and public-private partnership.

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 www.usafreedomcorps.gov.

Please check out the new website 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. If you pass it along to five people, you can make a real difference in the life of a child or a senior. If you pass it along to ten, you may start to change a community. And if you keep going, you'll be making a difference in the effort to change America -- one heart at a time.
