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.

"Obama urges citizens to undertake national service Trying to bold the headline?

[gidget7]

That is how volunteerism, REAL volunteerism is supposed to work. Government imposed volunteerism is nothing more the indentured servitude, and will hurt genuine volunteerism.

zero needs to get a clue, we don't need him preaching to us to volunteer, we will and do, when and where and how we see fit, NOT where when or how he sees fit.

MOST Americans volunteer because of what they can do to help others. For zero's crowd, it is done for whatever is in it for themselves.

Good question....maybe they’ve had him on ice and just
thawed him out.

They have studied their “bible”, the Communist Manifesto, very well!...unfortunately for America!

I seem to remeber that this program the first time around cost more per person than to just pay for their college in the first place. It’s about keeping the buearacracy alive.....

And indentured servitude is expressly prohibited by the 13th amendment. No nuance at all.

When the first youth are served with their "mandatory volunteer" government service notices, parents should refuse to send them, and youth 18 or over should be encouraged to refuse to go, and supported all the way in that refusal. While they're all refusing, the parents, and all sympathetic to them, need to pool their resources, hire the biggest badass, loudmouth, media-hungry attorneys they can find, and take this whole thing (noisily) to the Sup. Ct., with the objective of burying it 6 feet under, once and for all.

Calling on Americans to volunteer, President Barack Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill...

Where I come from the volunteer programs are run by more qualified people who also volunteer their time because they believe in the cause and know they should model the behavior they expect from those under them. What moron requires 5.7 Billion to get volunteer work done?

We live in a capitalistic economy. If people want to help out they can get a job, or work more hours. It is that simple. Volunteer for your church or charity, tell the Government to butt out with their destructive entitlements stolen from our paychecks.

Can’t wait to see what my taxes are going to be next year. Probably 10 times my annual salary....

[freeangel]

The people and families that have always REALLY volunteered will ALWAYS volunteer and give of their time freely to organizations they believe in and pass that ethic along as part of family values. The people 0 conscripts and pays to work for government chosen organization are still the same slugs who would expect the government to pay for everything for them and their litters.

[gidget7]

AMEN to that!

[KLT]

It’s called socialism.......government sponsored life...

[KLT]

Beautifully said free...he wants to make the entire country depend on the government for everything. National welfare, then he'll be able to be KING OBAMA..king of the world. The New World Order is alive and well....
