Obama promised during the campaign to create a Socialist National Civilian Security Force similar to what they have in other Marxist regimes. Yesterday, the US House took the first step in organizing Dear Leader's dream youth service corp.

The House passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act yesterday. The bill includes language indicating young people will be forced to participate in mandatory national service programs. The bill also states that "service learning" will be a mandatory part of the youth curriculum.
That doesn't sound much like "volunteerism" does it?

Free Republic reported:

The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.

Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled “Duties,” in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”

Section 120 of the bill also discusses the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” and states that “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency”.

“The legislation, slated to cost $6 billion over five years, would create 175,000 “new service opportunities” under AmeriCorps, bringing the number of participants in the national volunteer program to 250,000. It would also create additional “corps” to expand the reach of volunteerism into new sectors, including a Clean Energy Corps, Education Corps, Healthy Futures Corps and Veterans Service Corps, and it expands the National Civilian Community Corps to focus on additional areas like disaster relief and energy conservation,” reports Fox News.

Let the indoctrination begin.

"There is even a provision in the bill for uniforms."

Of course.

There’s a lot of commentary about the involuntary nature of all this, which is bad enough, but I think the real evil in this thing is that they are looking to use these programs to assure the continued indoctrination of youth and young adults into the socialist program. When you dig into this bill you’ll no doubt find a lot of talk about “training” the volunteers in “community organizing”. At the end of the day, they will create an ACORN type organization on a massive scale, organized into cadres, permanently backed by massive government funding.

This is very dangerous.

This appears to be a “Vote to Recommit”

I know my Congressman, he voted for this motion as would I if I had the chance.

I think that the final vote did not include that many Republican votes.

Does anyone have the final vote tally by Rep?

• Service is compulsory. From 1936, membership of the HJ (Hitler Youth) was compulsory.
• The GIVE act has adult Directors managing cadres of 'disadvantaged youths'. The HJ was organized into corps under adult leaders, and the general membership comprised boys aged fourteen to eighteen.
• The GIVE act is a local community-based organization with training given in ecological, green, and other political dogma. The HJ was organized into local cells on a community level. Such cells had weekly meetings at which various Nazi doctrines were taught by adult HJ leaders.

That's a few right off the rip.
