Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.At one time in our history church groups would volunteer to assist their community.
Pass. We don’t want to volunteer.

I have been skimming that site all nite.
its SCARY!!!!!!!!
For God’s sake - I even saw a quick clip of a collge football player on tv tonight who was shouting “all about change” to the camera....
here is a creepy bit of copy from the site:
Pay Inequity Continues: For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents.
Combat Employment Discrimination
Obama and Biden will work to overturn the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that curtails racial minorities’ and women’s ability to challenge pay discrimination. They will also pass the Fair Pay Act to ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.
Here is contact info.
Does he have anything out there about re-eduction camps?
I was talking a friend,who is a lawyer and asked him if he could help me prepare some documents, re-custody of my daughter should I be sent away, protecting my assets.
He looked at me and indicated that I would probably never be released, so maybe it would be a good idea. LOL
Later on, we can all carry little leather-clad books with us wherever we go, filled with the wise sayings of Our Beloved Chairman.
Obama campaign workers were paid with this type of disparity, IIRC.
This will be challenged in the courts. What are they going to do - send minors to jail for failure to participate?
Not good
Only way he can get the lazy welfare leeches to do something. Doesn’t recognize the fact that many young people are working their butts off to pay for their education and in many cases provide additional support to their families.
Charity begins at home.
He won’t get our children... he wants a revolution? He’ll get one.
I’m a homeschooler and I can assure you the only mandatory service my son will be doing is mowing our lawn....
sunni or later shiite happens.
Oh goody. Do our kids get to march with Obama flags and neat armbands too?
“Im a homeschooler and I can assure you the only mandatory service my son will be doing is mowing our lawn....”
You may not be allowed to homeschool for very long with this Administration.
When I was in high school, I was part of the Key Club - a HS/teen extension of the Kiwanis. I enjoyed it, and many of the projects we did for the local community.
I would NOT have enjoyed, however, being forced to participate in some ridiculous school (read: government) mandated service requirement. It pretty much would have destroyed the spirit and point of volunteering in the first place.
I guarantee you, if this becomes a national requirement, two things will happen.:
1) You’ll get a lot of sullen teens doing as little as possible to meet this requirement (and a sloppy job at whatever it is, to boot);
2) You will see all manner of ‘alternative’ options that qualify as service, and will bear little resemblance to the traditional definition of community volunteering (let your imagination run wild - I promise the reality will be worse.)
