Obama Requires YOU to SERVE, H.R.1388, "The Give Act" to reform the National Service Laws

The proposed bill is here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.+1388:

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.

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.

I suggest offering up VRM, Cobra(space)Bill and Excalibur if this bill is passed - it already has 25 sponsors in the House - all democrat, of course.

We all know where this leads.
