One of the reasons they voted for it is because it has language like “investigate”, “explore”. Say my congresscritter over the weekend. He is generally a good guy. Ripped a strip off of him on this one. He was shocked that I thought it lead to mandatory service.
The repuclicans are not conservative since Ronald Reagan as Mr.Bush has proved. Conservatives don’t like to fight, liberals love it.
HR1388 ping.
And that is why I don’t donate to the Republican organizations...
Hard to believe he was once referred to as a "rising star" in the Republican Party.
Must have been a bunch of RINO's who said that about him.
Well, at least he has seen the writing on the wall and is leaving his seat to run for Agriculture Dept. head in Florida.
Then again, with the way he has been voting lately, he'll probably outlaw citrus groves.
Swear to God this Asshat has never even read any part of the Constitution.
The draft
And, there's probably a few things that are both forbidden and mandatory.
"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I say calmly, 'Your child belongs to us already...What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing but this new community'."
70 rinos voted for it....
He is not going to get my vote.
Public schools have become a free babysitting service. Infant care, pre-pre-school, pre-school, before school programs, after school programs, week end programs and summer programs. They have "free" doctors, dentists, counselors, meals, and comfort. Parents are no longer necessary.
Parents allowed this to happen, because raising children became too much work after "woman's liberation." Mom got removed from the home. The children then belonged to the state.
Looks like you found the basis for a constitutional challenge! Excellent work!!
"Republican" does not necessarily mean "Conservative". People need to become more selective.
Good Grief! Talk about Social Engineering!!!!!!
This may be the tipping point that finally crashes the Obamoron and his entire administration. The dumbed-down, stupefied masses never heard him say this during the campaign and, once they realize what it means to them, will not like it!!
Watch this one closely.
Ditto! I want names on this vote and the AIG bonus retraction vote.
Oops! Already there. Thanks for the list.
HR1388 is up in the Senate at 11 am TODAY, after yesterday’s cloture vote, and is sure to be fast tracked just like in the House. The Senate has the related SR277 coming up, too. Republicrats are buying into this in hordes, even normally conservative ones. Is it out of economic fear? Or...what?
Yesterday in our Senate:
Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act—Agreement: Senate resumed consideration of the motion to proceed to consideration of H.R. 1388, to reauthorize and reform the national service laws.
During consideration of this measure today, Senate also took the following action:
By 74 yeas to 14 nays (Vote No. 108), three-fifths of those Senators duly chosen and sworn, having voted in the affirmative, Senate agreed to the motion to close further debate on the motion to proceed to consideration of the bill.
A unanimous-consent agreement was reached providing for further consideration of the motion to proceed to consideration of the bill at approximately 11 a.m., on Tuesday, March 24, 2009, and that the post-cloture time continue to run during any period of morning business, recess, or adjournment of the Senate; provided further, that the remaining provisions of the previous order continue to be in effect.
An index finger curved around and squeezing a curved piece of metal attached to a long object should be the appropriate finger response.
