I don’t wish physical harm to anyone. That would be totally counterproductive.

I want people to wake up and impeach this impostor.

Yeah, and over the camp gates we could put up signs that say "Work Makes You Free."

Like I said, too many people are looking for a free ride.

One of the bills purposes is to set up a “commission”
to determine a number of things one of which is...

“...whether a workable, fair, and reasonable
mandatory service requirement for all able young
people could be developed, and how such a requirement
could be implemented in a manner that would
strengthen the social fabric of the Nation...”

This is involuntary servitude. Very chilling.

“If it were done correctly, I believe we could revive the American spirit which started to wither away fifty years ago.”

Back at that time many of us were wondering about Selective Service much was said about fairness of it all, and ponderous thought naturally drifted to the idea of some sort of equal commitment for all. Realistically, the government wouldn’t have known what to do with that many 18 - 26 year old men and women just out of high school or perhaps partially trained, even college grads w/professional skills, much less the infrastructure and funding to implement it. You’re right, scary proposition in the hands of a socialist administration not worried one bit about spending what the country doesn’t have.

Mandatory work for no pay is slavery.

Worth repeating!

You seem to have missed the historical significance of the quote.

This was posted over the gates at Auschwitz.

It's interesting that you can see some edits in the text link provided.

I like this one - someone decided that “camps” may have a bad connotation....^:)...duh!


`(1) UNITS TO BE ASSIGNED TO CAMPUSES- ‘;

(ii) by striking `in camps’ and inserting `in campuses’;

(iii) by striking `camp’ and inserting `campus’; and

(iv) by striking `in the camps’ and inserting `in the campuses’;

They’ve done it the other way around, this time.

Then, they came to power and took over the media, entertainment, and schools. Then they banned God.

Now, they’ve taken over all of those things and banned God and THEN come to power.

I don’t see any way back.

"I will not go to any Obama camp. Ever."

I want to see Obambi force the gang thug, crack heads who voted for him to serve 3 years "voluntarily"...meaning juvie lockup and prison don't count.

I predict that this will be seen as a way to ensure that only the politically-correct will have access to professional careers.

You described the Communist or Nazi Party. Sure you don't have to join, but if you don't your job opportunities will be severely limited.

Thank you for reposting the Bill.

It makes it so much easier for everyone. Much better than my attempt.

I appreciate your expertise.

“forced” volunteering is not volunteering at all.

But that’s government for you, as they think paying taxes is ‘voluntary’.

We have a Contitutional Amendment that says the state cannot require you to involuntary servitude. I expect the SCOTUS to challenge IF it’s passed.
