House Passes Mandatory National Service Bill The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obamas promised civilian national security force intensify.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.
Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled Duties, in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.
Section 120 of the bill also discusses the Youth Engagement Zone Program and states that service learning will be a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.
The legislation, slated to cost $6 billion over five years, would create 175,000 new service opportunities under AmeriCorps, bringing the number of participants in the national volunteer program to 250,000. It would also create additional corps to expand the reach of volunteerism into new sectors, including a Clean Energy Corps, Education Corps, Healthy Futures Corps and Veterans Service Corps, and it expands the National Civilian Community Corps to focus on additional areas like disaster relief and energy conservation, reports Fox News.
The Senate is also considering a similar piece of legislation known as the Serve America Act, which also includes language about Youth Engagement Zones.
This has ALREADY passed? And why hasn't this received more newscoverage? ...nevermind, I already know. "sigh" ...off to the gunshop again.
ANYTHING NOT FORBIDDEN IS MANDATORY, ANYTHING NOT MANDATORY IS FORBIDDEN.?.............
Boy, the Amish kids are in for a shock...
WHO are the RINO's that VOTED for this???
U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIII, Section 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.
I have bookmarked the Office of the Clerk to see what these imbeciles are up to daily. I do not see it as being voted on as of yesterday.
This passed on March 18th. Haven’t heard much since then, have we?
...When they ask me to give, I’ll give then a solo middle finger, maybe both...
This bumbling Marxist is an idiot. He has unfolded his entire agenda in the first two months of his evil administration. Get busy with your congressrats and see that jughead is defeated on every initiative

And I thought Clinton’s paid volunteerism was a joke. Now we have Obama insisting that mandatory service qualifies as “volunteer” work. This is the same kind of rationale that allows totalitarian governments the chutzpah to call themselves The “Democratic Republic of...” when in fact there is nothing Democratic about them.
1. What do your parents talk about at the dinner table?
2. What do your parents say about our wonderful President Obama?
3. Do your parents take you to a church and force you to pray?
You are right!
The left wing communist party is the same in all countries that practice marxism, which at its core is men worhiping mankind and science.
The man Hitler used the foolish of Germany to elect him much as the dem coms are fooled by false promises.
Hitler also indoctrinated children in the government schools form some 10 years and brainwashed them and used community activism as one means to push his socialist marxist nazi agenda. The children wore brown shirts, hense brown shirt nazis.
America’s democrat party is doing exactly the same thing he did before they did a hostile takeover of government after the man Hitler was elected.
Those who do not know history are condemened to repeat it.
And so it is today! And America’s little brainwashed government school indoctrinated neo nazis are following the same exact course.
Devilish plan being perpetuated on the fools who profess to be wise.
The left are the worst of fools and full of pride and arrogance. Their leaders know they are blind sheep.

Mao, Hitler, Stalin.......In the end, millions of innocent people were slaughtered. This is Obomas idea of utopia.
The left wing useful idiots will support him to the end - only to find out later they will be seen as useless eaters and systematically "eliminated."
[Mandatory political indoctrination of our kids...? Mandatory? This is still the United States? ...right? ]
Are you suprised? It took the communist democrats some 100 years to get to this point and the blind sheep people followed hard after them by allowing communist teachers to brainwash their children.
Americans do not like to resist evil right under their noses.
This cannot be Constitutional at all.
Shall not be deprived...
