ACTION ALERT ON NEW NATIONAL SERVICE BILL

The newly-approved bill creating a national service corp does not yet contain that 'mandatory' provision as it was originally envisioned, but that could quickly change.

There are also other major changes afoot in Congress concerning this disturbing bill that you should know.

This alert was just sent out by the editors at Net Right Nation:

Fellow Bloggers,

This week, the Democrats in the Senate and House introduced a devastating new bill – the so-called Generations Invigorating Volunteers and Education Act (S.277) – that would allow politicians to funnel billions of tax dollars to leftwing organizations that they could then use for political purposes. As a blogger, you are the front line for exposing what legislation does.

It's being done under the guise of enabling Barack Obama to build his $5 billion, 250,000-member “volunteer” youth corps – “just as powerful, just as strong” as the U.S. military, as he promised during his campaign. You may remember that chilling speech in Colorado Springs:

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

If the so-called GIVE Act is passed in its present form, groups like ACORN and Jessie Jackson's PUSH will receive multi-million-dollar grants for lobbying, community organizing, protests, strikes – and just about any other activity they believe would further their hard left agenda. And that would mean your tax dollars would be used to pass legislation and elect politicians you absolutely oppose!

Fortunately, Sen. Jim DeMint has introduced a vital amendment to GIVE that would prohibit “advocacy” groups or groups co-located with advocacy groups from receiving any assistance under the Act. The DeMint Amendment would automatically prohibit any organization “engaged in legislative advocacy” – or working hand in hand with such organizations -- from receiving assistance under the GIVE Act. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.

Leftwing groups and blogs are flooding the Senate with angry demands that the DeMint Amendment be defeated. They know it could cost them hundreds of millions of your tax dollars – and prevent them from using your money to disrupt our entire political system.

That's why I am asking you to join me in matching them call for call. We must fight them on the blogosphere as well. You have the power to expose this bill for what it is—a shame! Time is of the essence. The DeMint Amendment prohibiting advocacy organizations from receiving assistance under the GIVE Act could come up for a vote at any moment. We still have time to keep this language in the bill. But, we must act now!

Please contact your Senators immediately and let them know how the DeMint Amendment's prohibition on nonprofit advocacy will help saves billions of tax dollars and prevent leftwing organizations from corrupting our political system. Tell them to vote to keep the DeMint Amendment in the bill -- and keep your tax dollars from going to groups whose policies and politics you oppose.

I hope many of you will spring into action on this as soon as possible.

LIBERTY ALERT! National Service Becomes Law

Rubber-stamping a House bill approved earlier, the U.S. Senate approved an Obama-initiated measure creating a mandatory 'national service corp.'

Obama was expected to quickly sign the measure into law.

And thus begins our historic first experiment as a nation with a Nazi-like 'youth service league,' which Hitler began prior to WWII to train footsoldiers for the march toward 'national socialism,' which was known at the time as fascism.

Here is the news report concerning the bill.

House Approves Mandatory National Service Bill

While the country's attention is diverted to economic matters, the Obama administration and the Democrats conduct ominous business under the radar screen.

Those who have warned about Obama's intention to institute a mandatory national service corp for youth were 100% correct. The bill has been introduced and approved by the House. Now it goes to the Senate.

Obama, no doubt, will sign it.

This bodes ill for the country. Many fear that this is the first step of a Chief Executive to put in place a Nazi-like youth national service corp that will serve as a way to train and brainwash young minds to not only support but advance a subversive agenda for the nation.
