GIVE Act outlaws citizens' right to protest

It is another sound good piece of legislation. H.R. 1388 has a creative title; The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act. 321 representatives of the people voted approval for this legislation which, among many other things, strikes a blow to the rights of people to mount any protests against legislation. Listen closely, it outlaws the right to mount protests against proposed legislation.

This is insane! Obama's creating his own Red Guards! I don't want to see a Chinese-style Cultural Revolution here. But, it appears, that's what's coming.

We’d better all make sure we have guns and ammo. Sounds like a revolution may be needed.

Read the bill! I prohibits those in the Mandatory Volunteer Program for engaging in politics, etc. It does not effect the general population.

Soon, VERY soon, each of us must decide where the line in the sand is drawn.

It's a very fine line: "Amendment to prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing." Those in support of this legislation will argue this amendment is limited in scope and is not meant to interfere with the rights of citizens to protest, petition, boycott, or strike in resistance to government proposed laws. "
I believe the intent is to keep the ObamaJugendbund from going political and being paid rent-a-mobs.
Of course, this will be ignored, and it also needs to be refined to make sure it cannot be applied to groups and people outside the ObamaJugendbund.

Their goal is to force everyone into this.
And I guarantee Acorn politics would be allowed.

So, it only affects those in the program,
and everyone is required to be in the program...
but it doesn’t affect the general population.

Little by little the left is getting what it wants. They sneak their wishes into bills. They give oppressive bills nice-sounding names.
They have already taken this country into totalitarianism.

Long term yes, but not in this bill. With luck 2010 will bring CHANGE we can believe in.

It is a revolution already underway, a revolution by the Left against US.

So, it only affects those in the program, and everyone is required to be in the program... Exactly! They are setting themselves up nicely to be sure no one can stop them. They are doing it swiftly and freely.
You gotta give these people credit, they are positioning all the chess pieces in the right spot and soon ... CHECKMATE!
In the meantime we are sitting around and "interpretting" what they mean.
This is just like the war on terror. Some know the threat is real and want to go on the defensive while some want to discuss the situtations and wait until something happens and the react.

They sneak their wishes into bills. I can't figure out whether Republicans are too stupid to object, too lazy to notice, or too in love with the perks of office to make a fuss.
Certainly, they all seem too terrified of being labeled "kooks" by the Soros media machine to object to any part of The Agenda.

It’s an oxymoron. The Marxist/leftist DemocRats are, of course, only simple morons.
