The reason I ask is because I believe volunteer service to the community begins at home. I do not think government mandates are the right way to go.
I prefer government to stay as much out of my life as possible. (example: including the bedroom,)

All of my children and myself volunteer in our community. We always spend Thanksgiving working the community free dinner. We volunteer at the hospital here, we also do much volunteer for our church. My college son donates his time at college to help tutor kids who have trouble in school. We do lots of work for some of the elderly in our neighboorhood. In fact my son and I spent all day yesterday raking yards for the older people in our neighborhood and we have fun doing it!! There's plenty more but you get the gist. I have no problem at all with it though.
