People would spend 6 months in their local community helping the elderly, the infirm, children, cleaning the environment etc...  In essence, improving the local community and giving something back.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the 6 months, they'd get a certificate and their name would be added to a register.  Taking it to the next level would mean that those on the register are then entitled to vote and (if necessary) receive benefits.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-12T12:18:50.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:52.820Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:34:14.189Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-12T12:18:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
