So, what are they going to do to someone who simply ignores the prohibitions on free speech?

I would hope that they are just saying that ‘serving at your church doesn't count’, but I am not ‘legal minded’. I don't even see abortion in the first amendment...

Violation of the constitution ping.

Don't get me wrong, I think this whole GIVE/Obama Youth thing is creepy, but this prohibition is only for when the little dears are on the govt clock.
I heard a Pubbie added the language about no lobbying, strikes, union organizing, etc. RATS are trying to strike that.
Let's hope the whole bill is sent down the crapper where it belongs.

Better they boil the water so quickly the frog jumps out than so slowly the frog doesn’t notice.

I have to believe that the restrictions apply only when you are “on the clock”. Otherwise it would never pass constitutional muster.
But while we are at it, I want to see an amendment added making it illegal to deputize them and or to require them to carry a firearm or to issue them a firearm in the course of their job.

There’s absolutely no way this is trying to forbid people in the youth corps or whatever it is from ever going to church or witnessing. That would be blatantly illegal and even the dimmest bulb on Capitol Hill knows it wouldn’t hold up. I wouldn’t be surprised however if they’re saying that going to church doesn’t count as volunteer work.
To: Fiddlstix
“Attempting to influence Legislation.” You mean like attempting to influence elections? How about busing protesters to harass AIG bonus recipients?
It all sounds so innocent. But then, isn't that how they all start?

At least abortion clinics, ACORN (those indicted for voter fraud), and union activities are excluded from receiving any services from volunteers.

Sec 1301 (b)
We'll see how selectively these rules get enforced for religious organizations (that don't recognize gay marriage, of course) and ignored for unions and abortion clinics...

This is WRONG. Obama must be dumb as a box of rocks if he thinks the majority of Americans will accept this. I keep trying to tell my self that this can't be happening but I am having a hard time believing ME.

The restrictions are bizarre. Government employees are not subject to them and it makes no sense for a kid doing slave labor to be subjected to them at all. It's not like they are gong to be "on the clock".
One of the big problems we will all have with the Obamaistas is that so few of them have any connection to the real world. It's like they start the day by kicking back with a little cocaine or something.

The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization. That means no church attendance or witnessing.

I don’t know - if this wording is accurate, it looks like the government is attempting to suppress religious freedom - definitely unconstitutional. That would be like saying senators and reps may not attend church services while in office, right?
