OHS to Militarize AmeriCorps
200,000 civil defense volunteers under the Office of Homeland Security.
According to this Reuters story, the Senate is proposing to increase by six times the size of AmeriCorps (the domestic volunteer service program established by Pres. Clinton) for purposes of civil defense activities such as civilian patrols; the new recruits would work as volunteers under the White House Office of Homeland Security.
