America Serves
"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. 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. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.
When you enforce the rights of ROTC recruiters, then we’ll talk about your Brownshirts, Barry.
Obama you are garbage. You are not my President. I, nor anyone in my family will “serve” you. Go to Hell...
It is decision time in Congress: Amreican or un-American.
Since when does VOLUNTEER = Required?
Doesn’t the 13th amendment prohibit involuntary servitude except in punishment for a crime?
When I was a kid I woulda said...sorry I have a date at the beach. Do they really think anybody will go for that BS. What a bunch of looney toon. I predict it won’t be long til the Crats impeach him to try to save their hides.
Soooo, how will that change the essence of what our public schools (including universities) are already doing? Es nada!
What is the punishment for noncompliance?
Veterans Corps
Well, there’s one we can take over and subvert with little difficulty.
This ought to empty the public middle and high schools of all but the densest. Private schools can tell King Obama to stuff it.
And if you don’t some re-education camps on the horizon? What if he extends it to everyone regardless of age - like Russia where those old people sweep sidewalks with tree branches ...
And too, what of this National Security Force he mentioned ...
How will he enforce it?????
Please tell me this is a joke...
Sounds like slavery to me
Efffffff YOU! Go and wipe the shoes of the soldiers’ you have crapped on.
Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
My children will not bow down to The One, nor will they serve in worshiping this "Messiah". Nice try, Mr. Affirmative Action President, but you will need a whole lot more encouragement than the Abu Ghraib interrogators to get real Americans to bow down to you, and you don't have what it takes to make that happen.
Unfortunately he is your/our president - but - whether you/we choose to adhere to his Marxist policies is another matter ... some tree somewhere is in need of watering ....
Oh...now it's ok to be the 'old guy'....when he is working for free....but not ok to be the 'old guy' and run for president....LOL! (not that 55 is old....just using liberal campaign phrasing)
Does standing in front of the White House with both middle fingers extended for 50 hours count?
