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, youll 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.

Yep... it’s Illary’s clarion call for all clueless losers to join her worthless causes.
We have groups of people that already do that. They are called citizens and are supported by faith based groups. And it costs the government nothing.
She’ll use the military to watchdog and warehouse all the unemployed/unemployable, disaffected and otherwise unsavory types that have been cultivated by DECADES of Liberal handouts and NEA failure.
But this will be compulsory....not voluntary.
Send all those suburban white girls into the ‘hood....sort of use them as bait.
Yep.
Brown shirts or slaves?
Ya mean like what happened in Baton Rouge ? We take care our own in this part of the country. And where the hell have you been? It’s only been 6 weeks. The most qualified my a**.
Sounds sorta like a national militia.
Arrgghh...what a bad idea. Where does that witch get this stuff?
Scares me, too.
“Hillary Clinton proposed Friday a 5 million-member national service reserve project...”
They’ll still be outnumbered, outgunned, outsmarted and outclassed by the Citizen’s Militia.
Trump better get on his game and stay there.
“If you join the national service reserve, you will receive some basic training, just like you would in the military reserves”
Huh?
Has she ever heard of the National Guard? Why create a new brownshirt army.
Working for someone without compensation used to be called slavery. Now it’s public service.
somebody please tell Illary this has already been done.

FDR called it the CCC. It was a jobs program for a DEPRESSION! Her’s is for REPRESSION !
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
HOW THE HELL WILL A "NATIONAL SERVICE PROJECT" BE ABLE REDUCE DRUG ABUSE OR PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH???!?
I know one person who needs promoted mental health: The utterer of this paragraph.
Didn’t she have enough aides doing personal enrichment work for her while on the taxpayer dole? Now she needs 5 million more!
And what could go wrong with this?
arg....read a different source that Illary wants to triple the size of AmeriCorps, so....nevermind on my post #33
America's Founders and Framers of its Constitution to limit the power of people like Hillary and Bill Clinton to use the "power" of coercive government positions over the lives and individual decisions of individuals simply "encouraged" a knowledgeable and informed citizenry to good citizenship.
They did not form bands of youth or adults as monuments to their own "supposed" benevolence.
Instead, they encouraged churches and private charities to teach youth the principles underlying their Constitution, encouraging them to citizenship in a free society--a society where other individuals would not be able to "fool" them into thinking they were "serving" them, when, in fact, they were fleecing them into acquiescence into yielding over their freedom and hard-earned dollars, thereby enabling those pretenders to become super wealthy oppressors of those they claimed to "serve."
“National Service Reserve” aka combining “Black Lives Matter” and “Occupy Wall Street”. Just think how many cushy new federal jobs will be created to “support” this force.
