For me this was the most disgusting parting of the Obama administration's plan. National service.

And so, it is with great sadness that I write that the US House of Representatives has just passed bill that would make national service mandatory.

PrisonPlanet breaks it down for you. Here's a key excerpt:

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.

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 also discusses 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.”

“The legislation, slated to cost $6 billion over five years, would create 175,000 “new service opportunities” under AmeriCorps, bringing the number of participants in the national volunteer program to 250,000. It would also create additional “corps” to expand the reach of volunteerism into new sectors, including a Clean Energy Corps, Education Corps, Healthy Futures Corps and Veterans Service Corps, and it expands the National Civilian Community Corps to focus on additional areas like disaster relief and energy conservation,” reports Fox News.

The Senate is also considering a similar piece of legislation known as the “Serve America Act,” which also includes language about “Youth Engagement Zones”.

Who writes these bills and comes up with catchy little acronyms like GIVE? LOL. It'd be funny if it wasn't literally part of a propaganda offensive against the American people.

Of course for those of us living in reality, this was seen long ago. See our archive on national service.

And of course, to learn the full truth about the scam that is Barack Obama, be sure to watch The Obama Deception. Definitely my favorite movie of the year thus far.
