I’ll never volunteer for anything connected to O or his minions.

[McKayopectate]

Geez, I think my barf bag is getting full...

[silverleaf]

Now why didn’t I EVER think of doing volunteer work???

s-a-r-c

[Enterprise]

Don’t be alarmed folks. Whenever Kennedy calls for service he wants a waitress and/or a drink.

[Merlinator]

Maybe they are looking for volunteer doctors to do free partial birth abortions

S. 277 (111th Congress): A bill to amend the National and Community Service Act of 1990 to expand and improve opportunities for service, and for other purposes.

[silverleaf]

I’d like to see the entire US Congress take a week off every month to work in a soup kitchen or preschool.

[ClearCase_guy]

I have advocated for increased opportunities for volunteer service

I don't get it. Anyone can volunteer, for anything, at any time. Why is it important for the government to take action in order to make volunteering possible?

Unless the volunteers will be paid by the government. In which case they aren't volunteers.

This just feel likes Castro's Young Pioneers program.

To Serve Man

All of the wretched RINO’s teaming up to see who can get their name next to the swimmer.

I have a new ACT I am sponsoring. I propose every Congress member and government official, including Dear Leader, work for free, and give up their benefits for 1 year in order to help get the economy back on track.

That would be very patriotic. It would also make their call for voluntary SLAVE LABOR less obvious.

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word “service.”

“It’s the act of doing things for other people.”

Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:
Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City & County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations

Then I became confused about the word “service.” This is not what I thought “service” meant.

So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to “service” a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those “service” agencies are doing to us.

I have taken to using lawn and leaf bags lately. Heavy duty ones at best.

[dalereed]

Hatch is a former construction union worker, beware!

[relictele]

I find your lack of enthusiasm for national service disturbing, comrade.

[OldBlondBabe]

What exactly is this bill supposed to do? ASK us to volunteer? We need a law for to ask for something? Or REQUIRE us to do something? Seems to me years ago, someone proposed the idea that people in taxpaper funded housing should be required to do an hour or so’s worth of maintenance and the ACLU said it wasn’t fair.

I must be missing something.

Make sure you don't hack up a lung or some other vitally important internal organ. After all, you will need to pay your taxes on April 15 somehow.

I just can't volunteer. I am getting hemorrhoids
