Is this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor. Next it goes to the Senate for a vote and then on to President Obama.
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.

Sounds familiar doesn't it...CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc...
You’re an idiot.
I think it means you can’t do religious work as part of the “service.” That said, the whole bill is horrible and needs to be defeated.
Does that say “Si se puede” in Russian?
“Bite Me!” comes to mind.
That's not what it says. Read it with a strict interpratation, which is what the libs will do. No penumbras on this one.
Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:
Separation of church and state — carried to an extreme.
Where can I get an Obama Youth Knife?
Cannon fodder!
“I think it means you can’t do religious work as part of the “service.””
Read it again. Words mean things.
Try this link. There’s also a CRS summary that you may find worth reading.

That site is getting too much traffic because I posted this, I think...
I guess that’s a good thing for them :(
They would be FAR better off volunteering for the one of the reserve components or (heaven forbid) active duty!
Would this exclude volunteering at church soup kitchens, or anything that Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson does?

Okay...could you flesh this out...before I shoot my PC!~?
It could be read that way. Defeat the bill!!
***I’d like to see obama recruit some Muslims with this***
Good point.
Zero might try to keep Christian kids out of church...
but there’s NO WAY he would have the guts to deny Muzzie kids their right to face Mecca 5 times a day.
“The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.”
I wonder how many black Jehovah’s Witnesses voted for Obama? That is a largely black religion (not positive of the percentage) and they are serious about their proselytizations.
