"AmeriCorps : VISTA
For 35 years, AmeriCorps*VISTA has been helping bring communities and individuals out of poverty. Today, nearly 6,000 AmeriCorps*VISTA members serve in hundreds of nonprofit organizations and public agencies throughout the country -- working to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, increase housing opportunities, or bridge the digital divide.
They leave behind lasting solutions to some of our country's toughest problems."

So I did that, and I was technically on call 24/7. Anyway, since it is so important that the program remain non-partisan seeming, the lines of okay (in terms of political motive) and not okay were pretty dangerous territory. Now as a civilian, I am able to speak my mind openly and not worry about the potential implications of it.
