All volunteers will received unemployment, disability and food stamps. The only people getting paid will be union workers, who can afford to pay for all these volunteers.

But of course it’s illegal to work more than 32 hrs/week in furlough. Volunteers not allowed.

Since we are using all of your tax money on useless wars, we need you to provide the services your taxes are suppose to pay for.

“In his mind, issuing “guidance to agencies on developing and improving federal recruitment strategies for participants in national service,” will result in a bunch of Young Pioneers goose-stepping through Washington, when, in reality, this memo will result in nothing other than training junkets to Las Vegas for bureaucrats.”

i believe that this might also serve to provide an additional avenue for providing “affirmative” discrimination in the employment of large numbers of unemployed minorities who will swell the ranks of federal service. Federal Senior Executives will then be evaluated on their success in meeting these recruitment goals in order to determine their eligibility for bonuses as part of their annual performance evaluations.

You get what you pay for and I bet these volunteers will be paid very, very low...

Haven’t heard them mention the V word since the first election. Thought that they file 13d the whole idea when they realized that volunteers could never afford the expensive cars they’ve been pushing.

If I still talked to liberals I’d be constantly berating them for not volunteering to work for their master.

“Will that be after our next “free” election?”

The one in ‘12 was definitely rigged IMO, and probably ‘08 as well, we haven’t had any of those “free” ones since ‘04! /s;)

Do we get scarves and hats? Will there be chants and songs to learn? Do we get to do mean things to conservatives?

“I remember reading the USSR had 98% turn out in their elections.”

If you failed to show up and vote, the KGB Internal Security Police showed up at your door to find out why.

If you failed to vote “Yes” for the Party Slate, the KGB Internal Security Police showed up at your door to find out why.

We aren’t very far from that now in America’s Inner-City Minority communities, courtesy of SEIU/ACORN, and the race hustlers.

You are right. Although, the arm twisting is minimal in the United States of America.

“Sadly, there are a lot of them....but still more of us. I hope.”


Sadly, it doesn’t seem so....that there are more of us...than “them”.

With Zer0, there’s no such thing as a “volunteer.” There are only conscripts.

Sure he is, he promised to do so, and why his pushing his anti-gun, anti-white people agenda.

Wouldn’t be surprised if his army has blue helmets...
