On March 18, Rep. George Miller, a Democrat from California, tacked an amendment on H.R. 1388, entitled "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act," or GIVE (to government), Obama's plan to require mandatory service for all able young people. Miller's amendment will "prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing," according to GovTrack.us, a site that tracks Congress.

In other words, Obama's "volunteer corps" act, passed by the House with a 321-105 margin and requiring the government to develop a plan for indentured servitude, would deny millions of people their right to oppose and organize against government legistation under the First Amendment. "This is as close to a sedition act, a violation of 1st Amendment rights, as has been proposed in recent history. A basic right as a part of our natural, inalienable rights, is to resist government. Our founders not only knew it was a right but it was a responsibility. This legislation begins to break that down significantly," writes Gary Wood for the Examiner.
GIVE (up your rights) will conscript millions of young people, put them in uniforms and send them packing to 4-year "public service" academies where they will be indoctrinated and trained to become "public sector leaders."
GIVE was passed by the House on March 18 by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 321 to 105. "At this moment of economic crisis, when so many people are in need of help and so much needs to be done, this could not be more urgent," said Obama. "It is up to every one of us to do his or her small part to make the world a better place."
Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled "Duties," in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, "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."
Section 120 of the bill addresses the "Youth Engagement Zone Program" and states that "service learning" will be "a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."

H.R. 1388 not only reauthorizes programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, but also includes "new programs and studies" and is expected to be funded with an allocation of $6 billion over the next five years, explains Bob Unruh for WND.
"Many, however, are raising concerns that the program, which is intended to include 250,000 `volunteers,' is the beginning of what President Obama called his `National Civilian Security Force' in a a speech last year in which he urged creating an organization as big and well-funded as the U.S. military. He has declined since then to elaborate," Unruh adds.
It appears Miller's amendment is designed to strip members of this emerging "National Civilian Security Force" of their constitutional rights under the First Amendment.
The First Amendment reads as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
According to GovTrack.us, the addition of the Miller amendment to GIVE was agreed to by voice vote.
On March 23, a similar bill was passed by the Senate on a 74 to 14 vote. "From President Kennedy's days to the creation of Americorps by then President Bill Clinton, the notion of public service has become a rallying cry. Tonight's vote, propelled by President Obama's urging of an expansion, would mean a growth in such work from 75,000 community service jobs to 250,000," reported the New York Times.

TAKE THAT TO THE BANK AND OR GRAVE! whichever comes first!
Are we getting close to the "ten run rule" yet?
Plumber, not to be confrontational, but we all are serving. Unless you completely withdraw from the system, you are serving in one way or another.
say what you want, I stated my stance and will back it up.
