What gives the Government the right to require individuals to give 3 years service under the guise of “volunteer” service? It is not explicit exactly who is required but I think they get the Bill passed and then iron out the details.
It talks about uniforms and “camps.” They revise the word “camps” and call it “campus.” There is language about Seniors and Community organizations.
Some language in the Bill is particularly disturbing like:
- “leverage Federal investments to increase State, local, business, and philanthropic resources to address national and local challenges;
- encourage national service efforts to address pressing national challenges, such as improving education for low-income students, increasing energy conservation, and improving the health, well-being, and economic opportunities of the neediest individuals in the Nation;
-expand and strengthen service-learning programs through year-round opportunities, including during the summer months, to improve the education of children and youth and to maximize the benefits of national and community service, in order to renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit of community to children and youth throughout the United States;
- increase service opportunities for our Nation's retiring professionals
-encourage members of the Baby Boom generation to partake in service opportunities
- Civilian Community Corps shall be called the "National Civilian Community Corps"
-the Director determines appropriate "Uniforms"
Why does the Government have to create Laws to make people Volunteer? The Government should NOT legislate Volunteerism.
-How much money will this National program cost?
-Take note of the Miscellaneous Section (Title VI) of the Bill. Very Strange!!!
-Sec. 601. Amtrak waste disposal. -Sec. 602. Exchange program with countries in transition from totalitarianism to Democracy.
Who could have predicted slavery would return to the U.S. via a black man?
Frightening stuff. Thanks for posting this, joy.
If they want a war, they will get one!
Leave us alone!
I will NEVER serve them. Nor will my family.
They will just have to kill these stubborn Americans.
They are using September 11th to promote their slavery bill!! I’m sick. (this is my first post; hope it’s okay)
1) IN GENERAL- The Corporation is authorized to issue a proclamation to treat September 11th on a permanent basis as an annually observed National Day of Service and Remembrance that—
`(A) provides an appropriate and meaningful way for Americans to pay everlasting tribute to the victims of September 11th, recognize and honor the sacrifices and contributions of the countless volunteers and rescue and recovery workers who gave urgent, lasting aid in response to the September 11th attacks, and help rekindle the vital spirit of unity and compassion that was evident and essential throughout the nation following the terrorist attacks on the United States; and
Their main job will handing out campaign literature for Democrats.
Obama can’t let a chance to make us all Marxists go to waste.
BIG TIME PRAYER needed here...
This is part of the Obama movie I just watched.
Explain to me why the media is so determined to butt into the Palins’ personal lives when they could be - and should be - reporting this?

This same bill by the same name was defeated by ONE vote last year on March 13th.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteering and Education (GIVE) Act, H.R. 5563, would have authorized AmeriCorps — which provides volunteers and grants to charities, religious organizations, and government agencies — to expand from 75,000 participants to 100,000 over five year
This year it passed.
Does this mean liberals can continue to sign up to volunteer for ACORN?
As soon as Joe 6 pack figures out that every speech Ozero has ever given was all designed to pump up his numbers by saying stuff that his pollsters told him would prop up his numbers(one more time) his little reign will be over and done.
Until then it will be fast and furious in congress with el commandant trying to pass every socialist piece of Shite legislation he possibly can be fore the bulk of the population is on to him.
We need to scream every day from the mountain that we are being had and maybe enough duds will finally get it.
Idiots that buy his pap are allowing legislation that will take years to undo ruin the country.
I guess that means these "volunteers", probably the laid off seniors whose retirement funds are in the crapper and swirling around the bowl, get to clean up the crap from the tracks when the use of trains, which will be modified to burn vegetable oil, is greatly expanded, when planes are restricted to people doing "important government work", like Stretch Pelosi and The Messiah.
You may want to use your ping list for this...
Not really, but what's the difference? This is straight from the Nazi party line. It's amazing how repubs and conservatives get slandered as the Nazis in this country.
I’d spend the rest of my life in prison first!
So ACORN will get expanded and get nifty uniforms. Good night.
Obviously, the whole concept of government making people volunteer is an oxymoron. "Volunteer," by definition, means no coercion and no penalty if the act is not performed.
Seems like we have a case of Orwell's fiction possibly becoming reality in the US.
Obama HIMSELF did a TV ad that I saw on this TODAY. (one of the cable stations, I was too stunned to notice which one.)
