How to deal with this?

Just started that new job. I start at 7 and work til 2:30 my boss stressed in the interview that I would not ever be able to expect overtime ( this is important.)
One of the participants needs to be "walked" to her bus at 2:30 - read at 2:30 her supervisor STARTS signing time sheets ( daily) for about 15 developmentally delayed people this takes a bit of time, then they like to chat and finish conversations - like everyone else, then she needs to go to her locker and get stuff there, then you have wait for her bus with her and supervise her getting on. This all takes almost a half hour and that's with cutting her short in conversation, pressing her to hurry, ect.
My co-worker thinks that I should be "walking" this person out daily. Thus adding about a half hour ( or more) of unpaid time to my day, on a daily basis! The thing is that co-worker is on the clock til 3:30 and would be paid for this work, I (again) would not.
This would work out to about 2.5 hours per week that I was not being paid for. And co-worker had already approached the feasibility of this being a permanent part of my job.
Frankly I think if I cease being paid at 2:30, I cease working at 2:30. It would be one thing if it were an OCCASIONAL thing - but daily? No way.
So I need a polite wording to tell the Supervisor that I am not up for donating at least 2.5 hours each week to the "cause".
Suggestions?

Just a little note of thanks

Today is 9/11/08 - 7 years to the day since the terrorists bought down the World Trade Center Towers and hit the Pentagon with Plane. And tried to take out another target but were thwarted when passengers crashed the plane in a farmer's field in PA.
Today many are somber and praying for peace and remembering the dead lost in those actions.
Today I am giving thanks for those who respond with love and grace and courage to those events and all the smaller tragedies and in this world. Every day we have fires and floods and accidents crimes and.....
And everyday we have the great blessing of men and women who respond to those calls, appearing when we need them and then fading quietly back when the crisis is over. I wonder if they are ever thanked...if there is a way to thank them properly. But I am going to say it from the heart.
To the firefighters, police, first responders, and all who lend a hand - often at the risk of their own safety - thank you for being there, for being the people who CAN'T walk away when someone's in trouble. Thank you for being you.

More on Copyright

I've been researching whom to email to see if my government can't force places like China and Russia to enforce copyrights of artists of all kinds. And in my mind the orphanworks bill is a monumentally bad idea. If any artist can tell me why it's a good thing for them, I'd love to hear it.
But to my mind and from what I've read all a copyright infringer has to do is say "but I couldn't contact them" and it's ok under this bill.

A listing of bills pertaining to copyright that are before congress now

I was hoping to find what congressional committee covers this - so I could write them to push for tougher legislation and for more governmental pressure for foreign enforcement of copyright, but I can't find it. So I am writing my Congressional Representatives to urge them to do all they can to protect our artists - I urge you to do the same
