Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden
By Jonas Clark
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 bills title is called Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE). It forms what some are calling Obamas Youth Brigade. Obamas 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.
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.
Again, is this what America voted for? Here is part of the HR1388 Bills wording:
SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:
(1) Attempting to influence legislation.
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.
(7) 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.
Thanks for the ping.
The sheeple? No, sheep aren’t that dumb (grew up around some). This would be better described as the march of the lemmings ;-).
There is no abortion in the 1st Amendment. The court just tortured the heck out of it to invent a make believe right to “reproductive privacy”.
(7) 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.
It wouldn't be much of a stretch to see some ACLU type bring some claim into court, and then some judge legislate from the bench that one cannot serve both God and government, ESPECIALLY in the 9th circus court.
EVEN IF this weren't ever the case, imagine someone serving in their church a few hours a week, and then the government mandating that they ALSO serve in a government program. How long before the person drops out of the church program?
Just like taxing people more, drops charitable giving, taxing their time will have the same affect.
right. The ultimate goal is to eliminate religion (Christianity)altogether, as the state can’t control those who answer to a higher power. I remember learning about the USSR when I was in elementary school. It was so hard to imagine that churches were banned there and that the people couldn’t worship in public. What a difference between then and now.
Hussein NEVER punches from the right...
Cheers!
LOL - you’re right. My bad.
