I wonder if this will be like jury duty.....SOME people will be able to make up a reason why they cannot preform the civil service and get out of it time and time again....

The elites won't be required. The Kennedys, the Kerrys, the Bidens, the Obamas - all will be exempt.

I read that the “participants” will get $40 per hour credit, so the taxpayers are going to pay teenagers $40 an hour?

“MANDATORY CIVIL SERVICE PLAN” We are in for a rough 4 years.

We can't last that long, especially if we just sit here and cheer and boo at the correct times, waiting for the "next election" to be stolen, again.

If the brown shirts show up at your door and tell you it's your turn to obey, just act really, really stupid. They'll think your a democrat and give you a pass.

Oh, don’t let something like a 230+ year old piece of paper get in the way of implementing “the plan”, K?

I’d recommend watching the video, it’s an interview from a couple of years ago and gives some insight into a possible upcoming policy. Considering he wrote the book a couple of years ago, it lines up with O’s recent agenda.

Civil Service? What GS grade do I get? Is it higher than what I am now? Does my prior service count towards my kids’ time so that they don’t have to serve if they don’t want to?

Hey, I heard the $40/hour is TAX FREE, which means an 18 year old kid would be getting like..SEVENTY DOLLARS PER HOUR.

That's a $140K/year job for raking leaves and cleaning up trash.

Certainly not a bad gig if you can get it!

I think Christian’s will be sent to work in an abortion clinic so they can watch baby’s being murdered.

HAHA! a small ray of shining light in the pit of darkness called the obama “rule!”
the teenagers and young adults wanting to be “professional students” or welfare mommas are going to have hissy fits once they realize what they have to do!
unfortunately there are some that look forward to this.... from us news article on 401k take overs. a obama fan... "I'm encouraged that Obama will make our senior citizens earn their paychecks. Michelle spoke at length that people will be made to work and there will be no shortages of volunteering opportunities. Let's clean up our streets, get seniors out raking leaves, picking up trash, cleaning up dog droppings in our parks, mowing city property, mentoring children in the schools and serving other useful functions. Every government dollar provided should be met with enthusiastic joy and reciprocity by the receiving citizen. An idle citizen is an unappreciated citizen." http://www.usnews.com:80/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/10/23/would-obama-dems-kill-401k-plans.html
rereading this persons statement, one could conclude the community service does not apply to them? only the retired? we may have a full liberal meltdown after all;)

I guess people don’t know history or have forgotten. Eventually this is a gradually steps into Communism. Right now these young voters and yes even adult will be mandated from what I understand.

However remember folks, before the government goes against its own people, it always eliminates those on top first who helped him get to power. Castro, Stalin, Hitler, etc. all eliminated the top people of his cabinet. They had to be eliminated because if they can hand over their own country to a ruler, eventually the ruler could be betray. So the final solution must be implemented.

These young folks don’t have a clue what they voted.

This will likely be one of the several issues where “the One” and the courts will be in conflict. Drafting people for the military is fairly clearly part of the federal responsibility to provide for the common defense, but drafting people for civil service, or whatever it might be called, certainly is not. Thus it is indeed involuntary servitude of a sort which is both unconsitutional and also completely outside of the federal writ. Besides, it is likely to spread HIV and venereal disease! Maybe that’s what the “Big O” meant by spreading it around.
