WASHINGTON – Calling on Americans to volunteer, President Barack Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill Tuesday that triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years and expands ways for students to earn money for college. "What this legislation does, then, is to help harness this patriotism and connect deeds to needs," said Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago.

President Obama is always looking for “change” you can believe in.

There are so many ways to serve, apparently.

OPINION:
I think the T-Parties are a great way for change.
Supporting our military who are serving to protect
us is a great way to serve.
Electing candidates to office (from local to the presidency)
who are truly patriotic Americans and pro-America
is obviously ... priceless.

Why not let the PRIVATE SECTOR hire these folks?
Why MUST the government, TAX ME to pay lazy idiots in this coerced volunteerism?
I can’t. I can’t even listen to snippets of his creepy voice on Laura, or Rush or Glenn or Sean or TV news. Period.
I have been a volunteer in our community for years, helping with church bake sales, helping feed the homeless, Christmas gifts for poor children, putting on events and such. What more does he want?
So have the rest of us. We didn’t need a government to tell us what to do or how to behave. We don’t need him telling us now. We do what we want.
Hey Obama, why don’t you go suck on a teabag?
Hey Obama! “Kiss it!” - Bill Clinton. You wouldn’t know national service if it jumped up and bit you on the ass!
Bump Y’all...Sorry been a while since I posted on here..I’m back...:)
Shhhhh....he might be listening. I am sure that it’s in
the “agenda”.
You CAN’T legislate volunteerism! The left would never
understand that....that’s why there are “work camps” in
communistic countries! How altruistic. /sarc
WELCOME HOME.
free dixie HUGS,sw
This government plans on hijacking the money of private citizens of course to fund its own furry-eyed idealistic utopian programs, all because these fools have a “vision”
of the kind of society they want to see that appealed to them long ago when they read about it as impressionable college students.It must be understood that government has no wherewithal without their ability to literally steal the money of people not even born yet, including money not yet earned by those that are living.
Of course , NONE of these programs will do any good except create a class of make-work leeches who have no relationship to any “market” except the artificial non-market created by that magical, deep pockets Sugar Daddy called Barack Obama. I simply can’t believe what we’ve gotten ourselves into with this clown.This dangerous clown.
He wants to act as if everything good is a result of his inspiration and 'leadership'. He's "remaking America".
Nothing is ever good enough for these socialist pigs..
Voluntarism could very well soon be a crime.
It will be seen as competing with government controlled
“voluntarism”, which is paid for directly with your money, of course. This is the way they think. All big government devotees are the worst and most demagogic kinds of fools.
It’s been going on for a long long time./
And we finally have a chance to stop it.
Will we, in time?
Thank you stand, it’s good to be back...I missed y’all..been a rough few years..mwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
