The Give Act Will Take Our Liberty!



The GIVE Act of '09 is available as a pdf file. The following text was found on pg. 76 of the 303 page .pdf: [Emphasis added.]
SEC. 6103. ESTABLISHMENT.
There is established in the legislative branch a commission to be known as the
‘‘Congressional Commission on Civic Service’’ (in this title referred to as the ‘‘Commission’’).
SEC. 6104. DUTIES.
...
(b) SPECIFIC TOPICS.—In carrying out its general purpose under subsection (a), the
Commission shall address and analyze the following specific topics:
...
(5) The effect on the Nation, on those who serve, and on the families of those
who serve, if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national
service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service.
(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
...
Section 6104, sub section (b), paragraphs 5 & 6 should alert anyone possessing a modicum of common sense to the real purpose of this legislation: creation of the Hitler Obama Youth Corps. I find that to be absolutely unacceptable! I have endorsed a petition calling upon the Senate to reject the Give Act. I urge you to join the signers of that petition by clicking this link: Sign Petition to the Senate NOW!

The bill was railroaded through the House in a hurry, and will likely pass through the Senate like a whirlwind. Please act now to decelerate its progress so that it can be examined in the light of reason and given the rejection it so richly deserves I will use the facilities of http://www.congress.org to send emails to my Senators, urging them to vote against the GIVE Act. I will include a link to this blog post in that email.

Thanks to Faultline USA. for alerting me to this vital issue.

Ali Ben Ali Mohammad Abdul,

Is your objection that people of USA contribute to the society of USA?

Are you objecting to people working for the greater good of USA society instead of working only for themselves?

Ben, I studied this law (the HR version) yesterday for several hours, intending to write a post about it. Among the alarming things besides the obvious, is the racist way which this bill specifies benefit to latinos and blacks through specific latino and black educational institutions.

Furthermore, the language of the mission of the bill, something like 'to meet unmet human, social, educational need' is liberal-speak rife with liberal philosophical would-be solutions to get usher in nirvana.

Of course, this term 'unmet human need' really doesn't mean unmet human need, rather means unmet liberal government role, for if it really intends to meet unmet human needs, it would start by closing their abortion clinics, teaching responsibility and morality apart from this sick liberal religion.

Glad to see that you also were concerned about this bill's slick, silent, rapid move through the House.

This type of crap is not going to last long, they are wayyy over-playing their hand. And payback is gonna be a bear.

I have absolutely no objection to volunteerism; I participate in it myself. What I object to is the element of coercion. Anything mandated by law ain't voluntary. Its another step deeper into the Socialist septic tank.

I further object to the overt racism and pork included in the act. It is obviously intended to flush large quantities of tax revenue into the greedy paws of ACORN, La Rasa & LULAC.
