what is this????????????? passed as an admenment on HR 1388
.
Here is the text of the amendment:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?r111:1:./temp/~r111y7XdG1:e117872:
Looks like it’s intended to prohibit these organizations from engaging in political activity.
With this being an amendment to the GIVE act, perhaps it only applies to organizations administering those programs (of involuntary servitude and indoctrination.) If that is the case, I would prefer that they not be organizing to influence legislation.
What about the right to peaceably assemble and the right to free speech? Don’t these people know anything about the Constitution?????
Thanks that cleared it up.

BTTT
See the link in post 21, it refers to those who are in the in an approved “national service position”.
Dont join his brownshirts and you can still give em hell
Our constitution, system of free enterprise and right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is under attack.
there wont be a Civil war unless the opposition starts one. In the absence of that, the current administration will continue to attack our core values.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL...
Thats what it is. But who’s counting America is dying, nobody is outraged at anything. The President rapes the Special Olympics special needs people and the crowd continues to ooh and ahh...
People are actually defending him about this....
My advice... arm yourself for the coming collapse.
Zero-worship is not included...
Does this mean that Obamas thug civilian defense force can't become political?
Obama's first veto?
LOL who is going to police that>>>> First of all how can you check a persons political affiliation and how they will act in leadership positions with regard to this Illegal and Uncontitutional army of volunteers?
Actually this could be backfire on Acorn
5) Engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office.
6) Participating in, or endorsing, events or activities that are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political platforms, political candidates, proposed legislation, or elected officials
Yeahbut, "...may not engage in the following activities..." WHEN? During periods of service only?
Also, this whole unconstitutional scheme steals time from services people DO want to perform, and ARE performing now, and diverts that time into oxymoronic [more likely just moronic] "mandated volunteer" services they may NOT want to perform, and WILL NOT perform.
It will be up to us to police them, Acorn in particular. Photos and video of illegal activity throw all there ass’s in jail
HR 1388 doesn’t look too hot either.
Paid “volunteers”.

DOA - it looks like it has plenty of 1st Amendment problems.
Yawn.....ain't gonna happen.....they're "non-partisan" community organizers (non-partisan like PBS, NPR, MSM, etc.)
I would like to see the penalties that go along with this BS.
And who will enforce it, Civilian Defense Force? I'll bring my baseball bat.
Communism here we come.
I just tracked it down on http://thomas.loc.gov.
Actually it prohibits the “national service volunteers” from participating in those activities.
