The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new "volunteer corps" and consider whether "a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people" should be developed.

Agree. The crisis/opportunity language is more than transparent. The only way a foreign force could take over America would be to weaken it's defenses and corrupt it's elections/values/language/. Not to mention, screwing with it's long-held traditions. And, taking your sweet time doing it.(eight years, or so)
Let's keep track of Gitmo: Class of 2009. Perhaps a Yearbook.
Yes. They've been notified. And there will be absolutely no Christian influence in this program, I'm sure.
The 70 RINOs that voted yes on this pile of steaming shiite better get their explanations in order.
But there will be a difference in rank in the Obomber Corps
The volunteer "volunteers" get a Brownshirt and a gun to point ....
The mandatory "volunteers" get an orange jumpsuit an a gun pointed at them by a volunteer "volunteer"
Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
This mandatory service issue was an old Kennedy policy that they attempted to make into state law in Maryland in 1992.
The mandatory aspect is precisely why many people object to the regulation. Edwina L. Green, president of the Maryland Congress of Parents and Teachers, said it would be an imposition on working-class students who had jobs, on students involved in trying to get academic or sports scholarships to college, on students who were single parents, and on students who live in rural areas where there might be a scarcity of volunteer opportunities.
And the Maryland State Teachers Association calls the requirement unconstitutional, both as a forced imposition of values that violates the First Amendment and as involuntary servitude that violates the 13th Amendment.

"He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation and that you move out of your comfort zone. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage."
"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed – you have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, you will have to be engaged.”- Michelle Obama at UCLA
Are you implying that Obama was a good senator?
Just one more in the list of liberal hypocrisy, they go batsh*t if someone mentions the draft - but for Obama they’ll do this “draft”.
My God, is she the reincarnation of Eva Braun?
Just yesterday—here at FR—I referred to "Gangbangers recruited into Obama's armed National Civilian Corps".

Can we get a list of names of the 70 who voted for it?
No, I'm saying it's stupid to vote for some bill you have not read nor understand. I repeat - it's stupid.
Obama voted "present" on numerous occasions because he was either a coward to take a position or wanted to hide his true beliefs.
Would you vote for a Congressman if you knew he was not reading the legislation and was voting on laws willy-nilly?
It’s not just “concern” that this program is the beginning — it IS the beginning. Subsection E clearly spells this out — The “National Civilian Community Corps”... Complete with CAMP(uses), and UNIFORMS.

Where does “cadre” appear? I haven’t found a copy of the whole thing. Thanks.
This is just stunning. And that it passed so easily, with so little public comment, is simply terrifying.
