As both Federal and State governments make fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets the cornerstone of public policy. nonprofit organizations and the volunteers they utilize will play an even larger role. Besides. it is to volunteers that we owe a great deal of gratitude for our social cohesionour sense of community in America. Giving money to help the needy is certainly laudable. but it cannot replace the sense of personal connection that comes from being the person who ladles the soup at a food bank. or hugs and feeds the AIDS baby. or helps a recent immigrant obtain rights under our laws. The time to enact protection for our volunteers has come. and I urge my colleagues to join in supporting H.R. 911.
