Clinton proposes 5 million-member ‘national service reserve’ project

Pledging to make public service a hallmark of her would-be administration, Democrat Hillary Clinton proposed Friday a 5 million-member “national service reserve” project that would train Americans to respond to natural disasters, health emergencies and other crises.

The program, Mrs. Clinton said, would allow citizens to continue working in their full-time jobs but essentially would put them on call if state or local governments need more bodies.

“If you join the national service reserve, you will receive some basic training, just like you would in the military reserves. And then when your city or state needs you, you’ll get the call,” Mrs. Clinton said at a rally in Florida. “Say a natural disaster strikes and the Red Cross needs all hands on deck, or maybe like the water crisis in Flint [Michigan], and clean water has to be distributed every day to a lot of families. Or maybe your city launches a major public health campaign to reduce drug abuse or promote mental health. You will then be sent into action.”

The thought of how close she is to getting the WH is terrifying. These will be brown shirts. Hitler would be proud.

Promoting mental health. Like, rounding up those Catholics whose beliefs need to change.

This proposal is just ...lame. Make-work on someone else’s dime that does nothing to address anything of significance.

Its too late

Our highly politicized, statist, corrupt Fed.gov needs to be bankrupted. It can’t be reformed piecemeal.

Don’t volunteers at various charities and other organizations already do this? The Red Cross, Salvation Army, Civil Air Patrol, CARE, etc.

Yeah, you know, like gun ownership. That's a major public health issue for the left.
