Does anyone know anything about City Year? I have seen commercials on the tube about them. Helping poor blighted areas. Dressed in tan slacks and red jackets. I looked them up on wikipedia. Very favorable toward them. Started by a Michael Brown and another guy. Is this the same Mike Brown that is the son of the Commerce guy who was found in a plane crash with a pistol wound in the head? Started in 88 and rolled into AmeriCorps while Clinton was President. Receive 25 percent of their funding from AmeriCorps, the rest from foundations and corporations but the article does not say which ones.
From my experience, City Year is an early and relatively mild form of Obama’s Brownshirts. I knew people who were involved many years ago, and they were all hardcore Leftists who lied about it and claimed not to be political at all. I consider City Year to be a subversive organization.
Statenjugen.
Your tax dollars being used to recruit innocent children to steal more tax dollars from you later.
Bootcamp for hack larvae.
When I worked for a living, they used to line up in front of South Station in Boston to do calisthenics during rush hour.
Disgusting.
