The Give Act

The Give Act sounds good right? Think again. Give is an acronym for the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. But don’t be fooled “volunteering is not what Obama or the House of Reps. have in mind.

WorldNetDaily reports:

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new “volunteer corps” and consider whether “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people” should be developed.

The legislation also refers to “uniforms” that would be worn by the “volunteers” and the “need” for a “public service academy, a 4-year institution” to “focus on training” future “public sector leaders.” The training, apparently, would occur at “campuses.”

The vote yesterday came on H.R. 1388, which reauthorizes through 2014 the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, acts that originally, among other programs, funded the AmeriCorps and the National Senior Service Corps.

It not only reauthorizes the programs, but also includes “new programs and studies” and is expected to be funded with an allocation of $6 billion over the next five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

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.

WND reported when a copy of the speech provided online apparently was edited to exclude Obama’s specific references to the new force.

Where have I heard stuff like this before?… let me think…. GOT IT! The Soviet Union, of course. Communism at it’s best — Recreated and Repackaged to look, sound, and seem better. But it’s goal will be the same. That being: To mandate all who are able to serve the mother land must, so as to better the mother land all of us. Scary where this could go…
