Paid "volunteers"? Call it WORK and they won't "answer the call."

What a circus of clowns!

Well certainly we need some Infiltrators to work this Organization.....Track the Administrators who most certainly are gonna join this PAY TO PLAY scheme just getting expanded.
We need some empty nest hosewives to join, some retirees who wanna join....and we can blow the whistle on this un-American organization eventually.

I wonder if my 93 year old mother-in-law will be required to work for the good of our fellow comrades.

First of all they are not “giving back” anything. I thought they were getting paid to VOLUNTEER.


Funny, when people are

1. Paid

2. Mandatory (soon coming to a service program near you—seriously it is in bill to ‘explore’ making it mandatory)

it is NOT VOLUNTARY!!!

It’s another FDR-type WPA program.

Difference is that unlike the Great Depression when people would work at anything to get money, Zero’s prospective volunteers already get paid by different entitlement programs.

An alliance among government-funded ACORN and the government-enabled national unions assisted by the government-funded and managed, politically correct youth service corps, all promoted and protected by a captive national media could be the basis for the propagation of power which Hitler could envy. All we are waiting for, I suppose, is the domestic security apparatus — “equally well funded as our military forces”.

Is it job or is it volunteer work?

We need a list of words and phrases that the left redefines to suit their desires.....

.....marriage=man marries man or woman marries woman

.....volunteering=a government job

.....welfare=family values

.....taxes=investment

.....global cooling=global warming=climate change

.....

The only careers that his administration seems to value are governmental (for the ruling elite) or unionized :(

I would not lift a finger to help obama. We should somehow find out his real life story. I wish only the worst for him.

If leftists are “so nice”, then why are leftists refusing to even replace Senator Kennedy with another leftist, since Senator Kennedy still has a brain tumor? It’s Massachusetts, and the majority of voters here refuse to vote for anybody with an “R” next to their name, no matter what-be it RINO, elitist, or conservative! If this situation happened anywhere in the U.S. with a Republican (either a RINO, a elitist, or a conservative)instead, then they would usually step down for health reasons or else end up listening non-stop to the worldwide MSM assiduously attack negatively such Republicans for refusing to step down and be replaced!

...said Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago.

LOL, and they taut that as a good thing, and it was his only qualification to be president.

Oh My!
