The Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Community is huge.  Over 190,000 people have served their country.  We are spread out to every state and city in the United States.  And for the most part we still want to see the Peace Corps continue to succeed.

The Third Goal of the Peace Corps Mission is "Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans".  One of the ways we believe we can help in this promotion is to support Barack Obama for President of the United States in the 2008 election.
