...very obvious on some of the biggest domestic issues, health care and energy, the American people want a much bolder response than is possible to enact in this Congress," says Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat. "So what we have done is essentially have a two-track strategy: one to get as much done in this Congress, and then hopefully we lay a bipartisan track for next year, when there'll be an opportunity to take a bolder approach...

To that end, ServiceNation is working with Senators Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch on legislation designed to expand opportunities for volunteering and national service. ServiceNation will urge the next President and Congress to enact that legislation by Sept. 11, 2009.

In part, this is because European and U.S. officials believe that the African Union - whose summit is under way in Egypt - should spearhead negotiations on Zimbabwe. Yet the West has so far balked at the solution which South Africa, the most important player, has in mind: a deal for Mugabe to share power with his enemies in exchange for amnesty from prosecution in an international tribunal. It was only last week that Britain stripped Mugabe of the honorary knighthood conferred...
