HR 1388, will hit the House floor on Tuesday.It is called the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (The Give Act.) The House is scheduled to Rule this week. Sponsored by Democrat Representative Carolyn McCarthy (NY), Education and Labor Committee. The objective is to reauthorize and reform the national service laws.

Democrat Rep. McCarthy is sponsoring the bill with 25 co-sponsors, ALL Democrats, including Charlie Rangel. Need I say more.

Just to be clear, are these new amendments or are these already in the existing bills?

The Road to Serfdom

This cartoon version is excellent. It's not as long as it appears. Here's the thread.

Wasn't Carolyn McCarthy supposedly a moderate pubbie before she became a gun grabbing crusader?

"imagine a christian child being ordered to ‘volunteer’ at an abortion clinic or they will not graduate."

Chilling. Just chilling. I can't imagine it. I am praying everyday for the TRUTH to be revealed to all.

"Liberty once lost is rarely regained." Mark Levin

We have to be vigilant about our freedoms and Constitutional rights.

We are strong. Our beloved Military remind me of who we are and what we have been through to have our freedom.

I have never heard of this Association. I think I am afraid to know more but I need to. Do you have a handy link?

Other Freepers here will give you more of a background than I can give you but here is what I understand.

I believe the Association you are referring to is called the Democrats Socialists of America (DSA). Here is the link,

http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

But here is a link a FReeper kindly gave me recently. It was very helpful for me to better understand the Radical Left. A real eye opener.

Speaking specifically about BHO and the Democrats in Congress, I learned the label "Democrats" is a label they prefer or "Progressives" but they don't want you to know the real truth.

Yes there are Socialists and Fascists who work in the Capital and in the White House but they have temporary jobs. Thank God. Remember that always and we need to hold their feet to the fire.

The buildings belong to the American citizens.

I am such a good ball. I am embarassed by mis-reading the post. I just re-read your post to me.

You were trying to help me. I am so mixed up. Lack of sleep is no excuse.

Sorry about that. I am the student here and more of a Freeper newbie than anything else.

So, please disregard the last post. I should have just sent it to myself.

0bama’s behavior, decisions and remarks during the campaign, after the election, and especially since the inauguration have made something clear to me. And it remains clear to me whether or not he was born on American soil.

He acts as if he is on the outside of everything that is uniquely and wonderfully American ... looking in. He doesn’t act as someone who understands what America is all about. He repeats (endlessly) grievances and impressions of our country as a visitor or hostile observer would.

He doesn’t get who we are. He may occasionally have the words, but not the music.

[bootless]

PS - I forgot to add that I had the above thoughts after hearing that 0bama has *finally decided to throw a bone to small business - the backbone and engine of our country’s vitality - after he threw trillions of dollars towards the recipients of his socialist money storm.

Anyone who really understands America would START with small business. He didn’t.

I don't think the “neighbors helping neighbors” aspect will surface until there have been a lot of flagrant mini-Wacos. Then I think it will become prevalent.

As someone else said long ago "There's nothing like being on the gallows to clarify the mind".

BHO seems more interested in posturing to the world for some job opening that hasn't been created yet.

I watch his actions and it tells me all I need to know. BHO treats America like a second class citizen quite frankly. He shows little respect for who we are and what we believe is important to us.

I notice, BHO has to try really hard to "ACT" like he has allegiance to America. He is not genuine at all for a variety of reasons but his words never tie out to his actions. I believe he has more than one allegiance besides his total incompetence.

Your observation echoes mine. The truth will unravel. What came to mind when I read your post was a letter John Jay wrote to George Washington back in the "good old days."

I tried to find the actual snapshot of the original letter but I can't locate it on my hard drive.

Here is his quote and it is profound and forshadowing.

"Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural, born Citizen." (Underlining was in the original)

Remember in Berlin before the campaign really began in full swing, he said or rather his teleprompter said,"I am a citizen of the world."

It haunted me. It has always bothered me about the mystery around Obama's background. Something is wrong IMHO.

This is probably not the thread to go down this road on my post(not my intention) but your insight shot straight through me.

Oh I remember that well. My heart skipped a few beats and I knew that added to the rest, he was a lunatic with no allegiance to this country.

You are so right. Watch him when he boards the helicopter. Watch how he salutes and watch his face. The distaste cannot be ignored or missed.

Checked this thread from time to time but haven't gone through the entire thing. One thought I have is what are the consequences of not registering or refusing to participate in a National Service program, should it be adopted?

We still have Selective Service (Draft) registrations ( I went through this with my son a few years back when he argued that it's not important to register since there is no draft anymore) and those who are negligent in registering can be denied driver's licenses, school loans and other federal and state licensing or access to respective programs.

A National Service bill could contain numerous caveats in the fine print to coerce the public to obey.
