Even though I saw this coming and warned you about it, I still feel sort of ill.

Who has time for this? Not the media, I guess.
Thanks to reader Kate for directing me to Theodore’s World where they took the time to go through the bill.
* Government the right to require individuals to give 3 years service under the guise of “volunteer” service
* It talks about uniforms and “camps.” They revise the word “camps” and call it “campus.” There is language about Seniors and Community organizations.
* “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”
**** Take note of the Miscellaneous Section (Title VI) of the Bill. Very Strange!!!
From the Misc. section, #6104: (6) 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 and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.
MANDATORY!

I would like to see the government try and FORCE me to place my child in their care for 3 years of mandatory “service”. They should be prepared to come fully armed. I will NEVER turn my own children over to a federal institution. Where is the outcry over this?
Why isn’t this on every news station around the globe? I’m so tired of Big Brother believing that it knows what’s best. I am, sadly, ready for civil unrest. They know it’s coming, and THAT’S what this unconstitutional law is about. This is completely opposed to everything this country is built on. RISE UP AMERICANS!!! Where is your outrage?

[...] More “Obama in his own words” has been unearthed. This time it’s him stating he is in favor of mandatory civil or military service for America’s youth. Not that this is really a surprise. [...]
