My reading of this potential law is that the Obama Youth would be prohibited from religious activities as representatives of Obama Youth. Which is fair enough — it is setting out to be a secular organization, as it should.
Goodness knows I have no time for Obama nor for his Fascist aspirations or secret-muslim agenda, but surely nobody would want it to be possible for the Obama Youth to be able to discharge their duties doing the work of Allah or the Reverend? Surely it is fitting and proper that this silly organzation operate as a secular entity — no Christian should even want to be associated with it.

Obama and crew mobilize their young fans for an army of worker ants. Of course, only liberal-friendly volunteer work will qualify. That’s why faith-bath stuff is explicitly excluded.
To: Fiddlstix
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. Sorry, Mr. Clark -- it does not say "no church attendance." It's standard, boilerplate "separation of church and state" language.
While there are plenty of reasons to oppose this program, it is not necessary to lie about what the language plainly does not say.

Do they actually read the bill before they vote on it it, or do they just look for feelgood acronyms?

I don't know where it says or COULD say that if you join this group you can't attend church. The wording talks about prosletyzing--this isn't about freedom of religion on one's own time, but, say, a senator using his office on the Hill to prosletyze for his religion.
We have to be very accurate with our criticisms. If people go off half-cocked about this, and then the MSM can clearly show that it's bunk, it makes it very easy for them to dismiss ALL criticism of the program.

Good points all.
Do people really think that the thousands who sign up for this will suddenly agree to stop going to church on Sunday?

Do the Youth Brigade members get a red scarf like the Young Pioneers of the USSR? This damn Obama is really getting old fast.
