For example, it states those in an "approved national service position" may not try to influence legislation, engage in protests or petitions, take positions on union organizing, engage in partisan political activities, or, among other issues, be "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 proselytization."

"Supporters of an Americorps expansion plan pending in Congress laud its efforts to "leverage" federal dollars to boost state, local and other resources to "address national and local challenges," while critics say its fine print secretly would create an "Obama-styled army of community organizers modeled after Saul Alinsky's 'Peoples Organizations.'" So which is it?"

Hitler also had youth organizers...called his; "Youth Army!"

While I don’t support this bill in any manner, the part you note in your post I totally agree with.

I don’t want one group of Christians trying to convert others to their beliefs on the taxpayers dime.

[stockpirate]

Or people using taxpayer dollars to protest or support a bill.

This law however will be used to re-educate our youth in to good little fascists.

I see Christain youths being forced to work in abortion clinics, being re-educated against their Christain beliefs.

And the requirement for ALL to serve is hidden in a second bill.

I am too old to be re-educated and way too stupid.

I will not go quitely into this long dark night.

I want my kids to have the same exemptions and choices as children of the elite, if this comes to pass.

This echoes why my and DH’s families left Germany in the late 1800s — they did not want their children to serve the Kaiser.

Job one for this group will be to assist ACORN in conducting its phony census taking. Note the prohibition on engaging in politics would also prevent members from protesting what they are ordered to do. This group is Obama’s Red Guard who will lead his cultural revolution.

Everything is just pedal to the metal, and not enough Rs or decent ones to stop anything.

Should be called ‘America’s Brown Shirt Act of 2009’.

We will see the first of the Brown Short machinations in the run up to the 2010 elections, and after that, they will come on like gang busters.

Push will come to shove in the streets after the Brown Shorts begin their neighborhood watch program under the guise of "envirinmental cleanuo" and " community organizing."

Say good bye to your privacy and freedom of speech. Any anti Obama signage will be treated as insurrection, with a hot line from your local " GIVE" office straight to Home;and Security and the SS.

Will people take it in their communities. How Americans react to the comong fake census will tell the tale.

I see the seeds of a new civil war being planted in all this.
