Obama is likely celebrating the Senate passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (GIVE Act) today. It passed with huge support in the House and the Senate responded similarly.
This bill adds $6 billion to the budget over five years, to create 175,000 new AmeriCorps volunteer opertunities.
Among the things created by the bill is the Congressional Commission on Civic Service. This commision is designed to study various topics concerning “volunteer working” by citizens. This in itself is hardly anything to worry about, but in the same section of the bill, 6104, it states that the commission should determine, “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 service is in direct violation of the Constitution and is known by a more common name to most – slavery.
Obama denies that there is any plan to institute mandatory service, but the orginal wording of his page on change.gov stated exactly that. It was only after fears of the idea started to tarnish his name, that the wording was changed to state that Americans would be “encouraged” to complete, “50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”.
Mandatory service is an abomination that should not even been considered, let alone planned for. Mandatory service from our nation’s youth – the most impressionable of us – should be a bright red warning flag to those who remember anything of history. That there were almost no cries against this bill in either branch of the Congress, tells just how corrupt the entire Federal government has become.

Mandatory service huh. So we going to start programs for our the little ones to. You know like a youth program could call it Obama’s youth.
As for the service what kind of service are we talking about I mean would we be required to man the sentry towers of the reeducation camps, which would be like our youth program but for people who arnt particapting in the youth programs or dont like them, or would it be like the Israeli military service where they give you guns and tell you to oppress people.
I like it I think we should start an government summer camp this year get a really good kick off you know.
Hah may as well call this blasphemy a draft of the youth. We are already constrained by a mandatory service requirement at 18 if the faceless powers running this madness feel like throwing us into the garbage disposal… may as well start young!
How the hell would they “encourage” that much “community service” from people so young… use a ball and chain method? Especially from the lazy bastards being brought up nowadays… myself included =)
Require service as part of your academic course in public school, where you can’t graduate if you don’t complete your time. In college, deny financial aid to anyone who doesn’t abide. If it becomes mandatory by law, then they’ve made criminal lack of participation and they back up the demand at the barrel of a gun.
Assuming that you have to go that far to accomplish the goal. They can avoid the harshness of “mandatory service” by withholding benefits. It’s already being done with the War on (Some) Drugs, where you cannot get financial aid, neither loans nor scholarships, if you’ve ever been arrested on drug charges. Using the same logic of “what is good for society” they can make service defacto without ever having to make service requirement the law itself.
Don’t fret about it. It’s all double-plus good.
Hey look this thing just needs to be signed now and blamo into law. YIPPEEEEEE god this isnt going to be good :/
