From the leaked network memo:
President Obama has called for a new era of responsibility. … We can turn up the volume for service and volunteerism, engage more people and make it part of who we are and what we do to bring the country together. …
Campaign Elements: …
“To ‘organically’ create and produce as many shows as possible about service and volunteerism[.] …Ideally storylines will touch on one or more of the key issues that have outlined as the country’s top priorities for services:
- Education and children
- Health and well being
- Environmental conservation and reduced energy consumption
- Economic development and financial security
- support for military families
