The House of Representatives passed a measure Wednesday that supporters are calling the most sweeping reform of nationally-backed volunteer programs since AmeriCorps. But some opponents are strongly criticizing the legislation, calling it expensive indoctrination and forced advocacy.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act -- sponsored by Reps. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y, and George Miller, D-Calif. -- was approved by a 321-105 vote and now goes to the Senate.

What kind of volunteer work is that that will be paid for the services? And how can it be volunteer work when they force you to work?
Lee Cary puts it very well:
"Senator Obama aims to tap into the already active volunteerism of millions of Americans and recruit them to become cogs in a gigantic government machine grinding out his social re-engineering agenda," Lee Cary of the conservative American Thinker wrote at the time about Obama's remarks.
"(His words) were about turning America into one, giant, community organizer's sandbox at enormous cost to taxpayers," Cary wrote.

It just gets more and more absurd by the hour doesn't it?! Where can we go to escape it? What other country in the world has what America once had? None of them do - so what is the next best thing? I wonder how long it will be until some states begin the process to secede from the Union? That is really the next step isn't it - a second American Revolution? May God have mercy on us all.
The way I see it, we will all be "global citizens" with no country to call ours.
Maranatha!
