One bill would establish a summer program for kids to serve in an organized community project. Another would allow high-school students to spend a semester getting academic credit for volunteering.
Can we say indoctrination?

I imagine these goofs will be sent out to “register” DemocRATS to “vote” and then sent door to door telling people to “vote” for the ‘RATS during the elections cycles.

Two lowlife politicians from my lousy state of Connecticut. I hope the voters wake up and throw these bums out in the next election. We should get rid of 99% of incumbents.

When the San Diego City schools tried to force high school students to perform "volunteer work" to graduate, my son took them to task. He appeared on both Rick Roberts and Roger Hedgecock's shows to argue that this was involuntary servitude and prohibited by the 13th Amendment. He made his case. The school district backed down.

Is Cochran crazy? This is Obama’s “Hitler Youth” plan.

Some schools now require a certain amount of volunteer hours in community service to graduate with “honors”... and the National Honor Society has required it for some time now (don’t know if it is a local or National thing).

Before these jack-booted thugs start passing these bills on “national service”, maybe they should actually take a stab at actually giving SERVICE to their constituents and this country.

And a third would establish a national program encouraging people 55 and older to pitch in. Well this 64 year old says that the punk in the WH can jam it where the sun don't shine! I did my time before this turd got out of three corner pants. The criminals in Washington have been screwing with my life since I was 18.
SCREW THIS!
