Obama Corps “to serve man”??? Where have I seen that before?…

Amendment 13 – Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

As horrifying as it is that Obama wants to throw this amendment out the window, what should scare us more is that so many common people don’t even see his proposals for what they are. Like, for instance, my own father. With children who could well be performing such involuntary servitude. Apparently the concept of his own children being forced to do ‘community service’ from on high for a cherry-picked list of organizations somehow isn’t a frightening violation of the Constitution to him. (“the draft was involuntary servitude…”)

The thought that my own siblings could be forced into the Big 0′s program makes me alternately sick and furious.

Go ahead and push it Big O. You think you had the youth vote on your side before. Wait until Big Brother/Big O forces them to do something against their will.

Are we making a big deal of this? Could he be serious? Rush said the Big O’s website has been scrubbed. With all that is going on in this country, he’s going to worry about kids picking up trash or raking leaves in a park? He needs to worry about his own backyard (D.C.) before he worries about our backyards.

How prepared are any of you to protest in D.C. if necessary? Not just this issue but any of the others that will no doubt come down the pike. I am serious. Do you have it in you to drop what you’re doing and go to Washington?

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Is this part of a living, breathing document? Or is being a college student a crime these days?

“My school has a 100 hour community service requirement. We are a public charter school. My son actually had a great time delivering donations to the local community center. It is nice for the community because if there’s a need for a bunch of warm body volunteers, anyone can call the school and set up service hours.

I don’t like the Feds dictating these from Washington, that’s all. Like everything else, we do just fine at the local level, thank you.”

Bonnie, yours is the kind of polite but firm letter we all should be writing to the Obama administration should this terrible idea come to fruition.

I see they changed the wording on the website. But just remember what their real plans are, to make it a requirement to all Americans.

Now that Obama has been elected president, Senator Schumer and his cronies can’t wait to get the Fairness Act passed. Most Americans have no clue what the Fairness Act is or what its passage would mean to our Freedom of Speech as we know it now. Under the Fairness Act, all TV and Radio Talk Shows would have to have “Fair and balanced” programming or their shows would not be allowed to air. Now on the surface this doesn’t sound sinister but when you hear Senator Schumer openly tell a reporter that the Fairness Act would eliminate people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, etc., that definitely sounds like big brother will be telling the American people who we can listen to and what we can or cannot think. Funny, Senator Schumer and his cronies never mentioned the Fairness Act in conjunction with Katie Curic, Brian Williams, Chris Mathews, or other reporters for ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, or any liberal radio talk show hosts. IChris Mathews openly admitted in an interview with Joe Dressing or Savage, that he believes it is his JOB to help Obama as much as possible through his talk show, Hardball. That was pretty evident during the campaigns when Mathews would bash John McCain and swoon over Obama. Now Chris Mathews is considering running for the senate. (Heaven help us!)

If the democrats have their way, conservatives in this country will not have a voice any longer. The next generation of kids will not know any other values except what the democratic party dictates. Freedom of Speech is what makes this country so great! Everyone’s voice should count. Having the freedom to have diverse ideas, values, and beliefs are what brought our forefathers to America and continues to bring immigrants today.

We have to spread the word about what the Fairness Act is really all about and the consequences to American Freedom of Speech if it is passed. Read up on it, tune in to Sean Hannity or go to his website and educate yourself on it. Then tell your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the dangers of the Fairness Act. Ask them to “pass it on” so we can prevent the Fairness Act from being passed. Write, call, and e-mail not only our Senators and Congressmen of Missouri, but also Senators and Congressmen from other states. Put the word out on other Blogs. We need to really act on this now and get a grassroots movement growing to protect our Freedom of Speech and other Freedoms given to us by our constitution and Amendments.

Please “pass it on” and keep our voices heard.

Mr. Dictator is sadly mistaken if he thinks I or my hubby will do that crap. We need to raise some hell. This is total bullsh*t. He must be still snorting coke. No wonder he is the most protective President of all times.
On Friday, the news said that College tuition has gone up. A good ways up. Some help he will give. He is a lying sack of sh*t. Glad you posted this info. Thanks.

Now they want to channel all volunteer/community service work through the government. That’s almost certainly why they set the goal so high: if your government-required-goal service takes up all the free time you have, you won’t spend any time volunteering anywhere else where you don’t get credit.

At one time, I did children’s ministries at church, spending easily 200 hours a year. I’m quite sure none of that volunteer work would count towards the government requirement goal.

Would the government use this time to indoctrinate children? Maybe, maybe not. But at the very least, children will get used to the federal government regulating their lives.

Obviously, I see volunteering as a good thing, and think the country would be better off if more people did some degree of it. It’s too easy to grow up selfish in this country.

But I refuse to have anything to do with a policy mandating service, or trying to set the government up to certify it. I’d rather have a population that is lazy and selfish than one trained to be subservient to the government.

The big question, then, is whether we were looking at an honest mistake or a Freudian slip. I wish could feel more confident it was the former.

Somebody asked what those opposed to the idea of mandatory “Obama Youth” service think about the draft. I, for one, also consider the draft a profound violation of individual rights. Also, like the Obama Youth, I consider it simply a crappy idea. The quality of service provided by those forced to participate in an endeavor can’t even begin to compete with the efforts of those who choose to participate freely.
