First ( Lady) Kicks Off "United We Serve" Summer On Monday
Dear Friend,
Last week, I announced United We Serve – a nationwide call to service challenging you and all Americans to volunteer this summer and be part of building a new foundation for America.
And when I say “all,” I mean everyone – young and old, from every background, all across the country. We need individuals, community organizations, corporations, foundations, and our government to be part of this effort.
Today, for the official kick off of United We Serve, members of my administration have fanned out across America to participate in servi ce events and encourage all Americans to join them.
The First Lady is rolling up her sleeves and getting to work too. But before she headed out today, she asked me to share this message with you.
On June 22, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama officially kicked off United We Serve -- a call to all Americans to join a volunteer effort this summer and be part of building a new foundation for America, one community at a time. The initiative is led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency dedicated to fostering service in communities across the country. Learn more at Serve.gov.
.
Our nation faces some of the greatest challenges it has in generations and we know it’s going to take a lot of hard work to get us back on track.
While Michelle and I are calling on every American to participate in United We Serve, the call to service doesn’t end this fall. We need to stay involved in our towns and communities for a long time to come. After all, America’s new foundation will be built one neighborhood at a time – and that starts with you.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

First Lady Kicks Off "United We Serve" Summer On Monday
Washington, D.C. (AHN) - First Lady Michelle Obama will help kick off the "United We Serve" project on Monday with a visit to an elementary school in San Francisco. Michelle Obama will meet with the First Lady of California Maria Shriver and Corporation for National and Community Service acting CEO Nicky Goren at Bret Harte Public Elementary School.
"United We Serve is an extended call to service by President Obama challenging all Americans to help lay a new foundation for growth in this country by engaging in sustained, meaningful community service," the White House said.
United We Serve will run from June 22nd through Sept. 11th. Across the country, the Obama administration is touting kick off events at the cabinet level.

Forced service is not charity! The only ‘serving’ I want to see from anyone in the Obama administration is ‘time’ in a public incarceration institution
Hey Obama.......BITE ME!

Obama to Sign Landmark National-Service Measure Today
The nonprofit world will take a break from its economic woes and celebrate a big political victory on Tuesday when President Obama signs landmark legislation that boosts national service, volunteerism, and innovative social projects.
The president, fulfilling a campaign pledge to greatly expand government programs to get Americans to serve their country by doing good, is set to sign the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act during his first 100 days in office — a timeline that pleases national-service advocates for its symbolic significance.
The signing ceremony will take place at the SEED School of Washington, D.C., an inner-city charter boarding school, in the company of dozens of nonprofit leaders who united to push the legislation forward and members of Congress who shepherded it to passage with exceptional bipartisan support.
The event is expected to pay special tribute to Sen. Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, a leading sponsor of the bill, who is now ill with a brain tumor. Senator Kennedy forged a partnership with Sen. Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, to champion the bill — and the Utah senator easily persuaded the Senate to name the bill after his Democratic colleague.
The signing of the act is the second key commitment to nonprofit groups that Mr. Obama is following up on. Last week, the White House confirmed that the Office of Social Innovation, a unit that will focus on ways to get nonprofit groups and other organizations involving in solving the nation’s problems in new ways, will be headed by Sonal Shah, a former Google executive.
Forces Behind the Legislation
The Serve America Act is a victory for two coalitions of nonprofit groups that zeroed in on the 2008 presidential campaign in a bid to get lawmakers to expand the country’s national-service programs and provide money for entrepreneurial approaches to social problems.
America Forward — a coalition of more than 70 groups that started in 2007 and includes civic-engagement organizations like America’s Promise Alliance, Citizen Schools, Public Allies, and Year Up — urged all of the candidates to introduce “social investment” funds to help nonprofit groups expand innovative and proven strategies for tackling poverty, school achievement, and other issues. Mr. Obama endorsed the idea and the Serve America Act includes a new Social Innovation Funds pilot program with similar goals.
That program emphasizes the importance of documenting which methods work, which distinguishes this legislation from earlier national-service bills, says Vanessa Kirsch, president of New Profit Inc., a group in Cambridge, Mass., that manages America Forward.
“Each generation and each president has put a mark on service,” she says. “The unique and defining arc that Obama is putting on is a focus on results and impact.”
A separate coalition, ServiceNation, emerged in 2008 to press presidential candidates to expand the country’s national-service programs, which had not been updated since 1994, when President Clinton signed a bill creating AmeriCorps into law.
Arguing that Americans were looking for ways to help the country, especially following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the coalition persuaded both Mr. Obama and his Republican rival, John McCain, to attend a high-profile forum in New York on the seventh anniversary of the attacks to discuss their notions of “service.”
Both candidates agreed to support legislation to expand national-service and volunteer programs, thus sealing the bipartisan approach to the effort. Republicans have been generally more skeptical than Democrats about national service, some arguing that the spirit of volunteerism is best nurtured without government intervention.
But Senator McCain sees the issue through the prism of his military service, a perspective that ServiceNation has worked to nurture by involving military leaders in all of its activities.
Once Mr. Obama, who worked for nonprofit groups early in his career, won the presidency, the national-service movement benefited from two White House advocates. Michelle Obama — who opened the Chicago office of Public Allies, which trains AmeriCorps members for nonprofit and public-service jobs, in the 1990s — said she would work to promote national service as first lady.
Advocates like Civic Ventures, a nonprofit group that promotes “meaningful” work opportunities for oder people, also tapped into the growing movement to get baby boomers to put their expertise to work for the public good. Such groups persuaded Congress to create new programs to encourage people age 55 and above to volunteer for nonprofit groups, including Silver Scholarship Grants and Encore Fellowships.
ServiceNation — which now counts almost 200 members, led by the groups Be the Change, City Year, Civic Enterprises, and the Points of Light Institute — does not consider its work done now that the Serve America Act is about to become law.
The goal is “not just to fight for the legislation, to get the money, but to make sure the programs work,” says Alan Khazei, founder of Be the Change, in Cambridge, Mass.
Money to Be Committed Later
While the Serve America Act outlines federal programs that can now expand or start operating, Congress still has to allocate money to pay for them. That can be tricky give the federal government’s pressure to cut the federal budget deficit. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the new activities could cost close to $6-billion over five years.
President Obama proposed in February increasing the budget of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the agency that operates national-service programs, to $1.13-billion in 2010 — up from almost $890-million this year. But Sandy Scott, an agency spokesman, said the administration is now reviewing the numbers, which may need to be increased to pay for the legislation’s new programs.
The corporation is also still waiting for the president to appoint a new chief executive to replace David Eisner, who stepped down in November.
The Serve America Act does not take effect next October 1, but nonprofit groups and state national-service agencies are now brainstorming about how to take advantage of it.
The Washington State Commission for National and Community Service, for example, is thinking about planning a “service summit” to bring together nonprofit groups, volunteer centers, foundations, and others to discuss the best way to use volunteers to respond to local needs in areas like health care, weatherization of housing, and rising unemployment.
“How can service be the strategy by which we enable the community resiliency to develop in places that are very, very hard hit?” says Bill Basl, executive director of the Washington commission and chair of the American Association of State Service Commissions.
Meanwhile, some national-service advocates are hoping the bipartisan response to the Serve America Act will rub off on other issues. “This offers a little bit of a roadmap for the other challenges this Congress and president need to address,” says Mr. Eisner.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is an official endorsement by the Hussein Administration of an increase of 175,000 in National (volunteer) Service funding. In particular, The Obammunist likes Americorp.
The other one that is extremely concerning and to watch out for is the Domestic Defence Force "larger than and better funded than our armed services."

Obama Style Community Organizer Immortalized in HR 1388
Obama style community organizer immortalized in HR 1388
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/9658http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/9658
by Judi McLeod
Everybody becomes a community organizer in Barack Obama’s America. Everybody meaning the roughly 7 million people called to public duty in the $6 billion National Service effort.
Obama wants everybody made in his image in a plan that enshrines the “community organizer” as part of the U.S. pop culture.
But members pressed into the service of the 1 million-strong Youth Brigade, sanctioned by “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE), will have none of the freedoms of the community organizer who started it all.
There’s no room for God in Obama’s long promised Youth Brigade, no room to protest, petition, to boycott or to support a strike, and and loopholes to give its mandatory membership a pass.
Everybody in GIVE, HR 1388 in legislation, will follow the rules and you can bet next year’s crops that the letter O will be somewhere on this Army’s uniforms.
Who will be pressed into the new army of community organizers? Obama’s plan requires anyone receiving school loans, among others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade.
You can’t proselytize anybody while you’re in, but count on being proselytized by the time you’re out.
Lofty in intent, HR 1388 touts aims to “leverage investments to increase State, local, business and philanthropic resources to address national and local challenges”, but is downright specific in what its members can and cannot do.
“The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization,”(thevoicemagaine.com.....see further down in this post).
That’s the new battle hymn of GIVE’s “Onward non-Christian Soldiers”.
Among other house rules categorized under Prohibited Activities: A participant in an approved national service position may not engage in the following activities:
Attempting to influence legislation.
Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts or strikes.
What’s good for ACORN is not good for GIVE.
Section 120 of the Bill--already rubber-stamped by the Senate--describes in the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” how “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.”
“Criminal justice”, “environmental stewardship” and “public safety” are the subjects of this mandatory program.
Everybody (everybody meaning some 7 million people) when you add in retired and other former law enforcement, fire, rescue and emergency personnel, baby boomers, and even the able bodied residents of senior citizen homes will be an Obama-like community organizer under GIVE.
In other words, an Obama-styled army of community organizers modeled after Saul Alinsky’s “Peoples Organizations” without members ever knowing it.
This `What’s-good-for-Barack-and-Michelle is what’s good for you’ directive came via a 321-105 margin vote when introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives.
But its shelf life goes back to January 16, 2009. Company across the aisle when the National and community Service Act of 1990 was amended to expand and improve opportunities for service, and for other purposes in the Senate of the United States included bipartisan maverick Senator John McCain.
The GIVE Act imposes the potty-trained politics of Barack and Michelle Obama on the timeworn tradition of America being a great nation of volunteers.
The Act puts the finishing touches to Public Allies New Leadership for New times, modeled after Saul Alinsky’s “Peoples Organizations” and operating under Michelle Obama.
According to a Fact Sheet about Public Allies, “President Obama was a member of the founding advisory board of the non-profit organization. Michelle Obama was the founding Executive Director of Public Allies Chicago from Spring, 1993 until fall 1996. She served on Public Allies national board of directors from 1997 until 2002. Obama was no longer on the board when Michelle was hired for the job.
Meanwhile, welcome to the era of 7 million “Obamas” spreading the Saul Alinsky rule book coming soon to a community near you.
Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE).
It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.
The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.
Again, is this what America voted for? Here is part of the HR1388 Bill’s wording:
SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:
(1) Attempting to influence legislation.
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.
…
(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

God help us and our country.
I don't understand, I just don't get it at all. Why did Republicans vote for this, didn't they read it???? Don't they read things anymore, they just vote? I am speaking about the Republicans that voted for this.
I can’t understand why the modern left lauds Saul Alinsky, he wasn’t original at all and stole the ideas of Lenin, Stalin and Gramsci. But since they can’t claim to be stalinists or have people read Gramsci they point to this phony agent provocateur who would have been dumped by the KGB as an incompetent.
"Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21]. . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws"…..Noah Webster, ‘The History of the United States’

'Mandatory Service' Bill Advances As It Passes In Senate
'Mandatory youth service' bill advances
House version commissions panel to consider 'volunteer' requirement
Congress appears ready to pass an Obama administration plan that could create mandatory public service requirements for all American youth, fulfilling a campaign promise.
The bill, HR 1388: The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, otherwise known as the "GIVE Act," has already passed the House by a vote of 321-105.
On Tuesday, the Senate voted closure on the motion to proceed by a margin of 74-14 in a move that makes its ultimate passage likely.
The bill, promoted by the Obama administration as a means of encouraging America's youth to participate in voluntary community service, has received little scrutiny from Congress or the public.
Yet, a version of the bill in the House proposes to establish a Congressional Commission on Civil Service tasked with determining whether a mandatory service requirement for all young people in America could be developed and implemented, though it is not clear that provision will survive a conference committee.
Moreover, an amendment to the bill introduced by Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., one of the bill's 37 co-sponsors in the House, appears to severely restrict the First Amendment by prohibiting the youth participating in the program from attempting to influence legislation, organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts or strikes.
Funds under the bill are designated to be distributed through AmeriCorps, even though AmeriCorps volunteers have a history of being recruited and employed by community programs with an ideological purpose supported by Democratic Party politicians, including Planned Parenthood.
Under terms of the legislation, volunteers recruited into AmeriCorps through the GIVE Act could end up counseling Planned Parenthood clients to recommend and arrange abortions.
It is uncertain whether restrictions will survive into the final legislation that would prohibit GIVE Act participants from being recruited under the program to work in ACORN, a radical community organizing group facing criminal charges in several states for voter fraud.
"The purpose of the bill is to require mandatory community service for all young people in the United States," Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, told WND in a telephone interview.
"The mobilization of the youth to put them into community work environments that are specified in the bill raises questions about who will be teaching the youth and what is deemed appropriate community service," he said.
"It's great young people should do community service, but to have mandatory government-run community service projects may be a different thing," Poe stressed, explaining why he voted against the bill. "It's better if we can encourage young people to volunteer, and when you require something of them you are certainly not volunteering, and to place them only in government-controlled programs concerns me."
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who also voted against the GIVE Act, expressed to WND his reservations.
"I opposed the bill because it would expand and authorize programs that have been audited and considered ineffective by the Office of Management and Budget, which does not align with the administration's stated plans of encouraging transparency and accountability in all federal programs."
Wild Thing's comment.......
Where are the watchdogs of freedom now that this kind of fascist legislation is about to be passed?
Ironic that America’s first black President reinstates slavery.
The GIVE/SERVE Act Senate version passes, 79-19
Roll Call .....CLICK TO SEE SENATORS THAT VOTED FOR THIS AND WHO DID NOT
"I begin with the young. We older ones are used up. We are rotten to the marrow. We are cowardly and sentimental. We are bearing the burden of a humiliating past, and have in our blood the dull recollection of serfdom and servility. But my magnificent youngsters! Are there any finer ones in the world? Look at these young men and boys! What material! With them, I can make a new world. This is the heroic stage of youth. Out of it will come the creative man, the man-god.
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I say calmly, ‘Your child belongs to us already…What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing but this new community’.” - Adolf Hitler

Obama Volunteers:"We're not looking for a fight.That will come later,when we have an army"
Obama volunteers hunt budget support in Birmingham, Alabama grassroots campaign
Volunteers fanned out across the Birmingham area and Alabama Saturday to pump up enthusiasm for President Barack Obama's budget proposal in much the same way they did to win over voters during the presidential campaign.
About 30 volunteers in Birmingham canvassed shopping areas and other high-traffic locations to talk about the need for health care reform, an education overhaul and environmentally friendly energy development.
"If we don't change these three things in the next 10 to 15 years, America is over as we know it," Chris DeHaven, told the group of volunteers before they went their separate ways.
Obama's plan faces criticism from Republicans and others who say it's too expensive. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Friday saying Obama's agenda would cause huge budget deficits, forcing the country to borrow $9.3 trillion in the next decade.
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama's vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.
"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."
The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama's quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama's spending proposal.
Across the metro area, volunteers gave their opinions about why Obama's plan is good for the country's future. Then they asked those willing to sign a pledge of support for the budget. Supporters' e-mail addresses and other contact information were collected, to keep people engaged and to recruit more volunteers.
Leanne Townsend of Hoover also helped organize Saturday's event. She has been a member of the Obama grassroots network since March 2007.
"Our group in Birmingham has been very involved," Townsend said. "We're still very energetic. We all worked so hard during the campaign. We can't just stop."
Wild Thing's comment.........
"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."
What?! This Chris DeHaven is a lunatic. The country has survived for over two hundred years without Obama. These people are fanatics. Wrong, Chris! America is over if we do not stop you. These people are sick and some maybe even dangerous. Willfully ignorant, begulied cult followers are usually dangerous people.
I have to wonder which this is more about, gathering support or gathering a list of dissenters.
I think the Army this he is referring to is the Army this jerk is referring to: The “National Civilian Community Corps” (NCCC). It becomes a reality via the “National GIVE Act” or the “Serve America Act”(As it’s called in the Senate”.
The House version passed last week includes money for a committee to study the “Feasibility” of making the NCCC a MANDATORY service for all young people... The purpose of this “permanent cadre” is to be at the beck and call of the Federal Government to respond to Natural and “OTHER” emergencies (riots or to enforce Martial Law, or just harass the AIG execs, etc... etc...).
These people will also be USED to supply the labor to build infrastructure projects for the Government. They will live in CAMPS, and will have UNIFORMS.
A spending cap on this project is non-existant (in the House version - not sure on the Senate version), which goes along with what Obama spoke of during the election — that his National Civilian Security Force.
directive from the DoD should just about seal their intentions.
DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce
PDF file dates 23 January 2009
Everyone should read this PDF file above if you can. . It sounds like the plan of a totalitarian government.
"Expeditionary Forces" will be deployed amongst us. To what nefarious purposes?
(1) To support workforce stability and deployment predictability, the timeframes during which the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce is susceptible to expeditionary assignments will be designated in 6-month rotational periods. Tours will be determined through collaboration of the combatant commanders, career field managers, functional community managers, and civilian employees, as applicable. The portion of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce that is within the 6-month window of deployment susceptibility shall maintain full preparedness as trained, cleared, and ready.

Great! Have you heard about Organizing for America and what we are doing in our community?
(Wait for response and engage with potential supporter in a conversational manner.)
Organizing for America is the continuation of the grassroots movement President Obama
inspired during last year's presidential campaign. In the greatest economic crisis our country in
generations, President Obama needs your help to get America back on track.
Today I'm here to spread the word and build support in our community for the President's plan to
create jobs and renew and strengthen our economy. President Obama knows that in order for our
economy to rebuild we must tackle three critical components at the heart of our country's future:

afford to wait any longer for the change we need, and the change that we voted for in November.
President Obama needs your help now. I'm asking you to join President Obama and pledge your
support for his proposed budget priorities supporting the American people by making us
energy independent, making health care more affordable by reducing costs, and by improving
education in America.
We will deliver these pledges from individuals in your community to the President and your
members of Congress in order to show the overwhelming support for President Obama's plan
and the urgent need to move this country forward.
Now is the time for leadership that will put our country back on the path to prosperity. Our
country's success depends on folks like you showing your support by joining the President in
strengthening our economy and our country.
WILL YOU SIGN THE PLEDGE?

http://my.barackobama.com/pledgeproject. Have a great day!
QUESTIONS/ISSUES:
If you are asked questions about President Obama’s economic plan or for more information,
please refer to the talking points below:
ENERGY:
• The energy challenges our country faces are severe and have gone unaddressed for far
too long.
• Our addiction to foreign oil doesn't just undermine our national security and wreak havoc
on our environment — it cripples our economy and strains the budgets of working
families all across America.
• Creating a new energy economy isn’t just a challenge to meet, it’s also an opportunity to
create new businesses, new industries, and millions of new jobs – jobs that pay well and
cannot be outsourced.
• The President will make historic investments that will double the nation’s supply of
renewable energy in the next three years; spur new discoveries in energy, medicine,
science and technology through the largest infusion of basic research funding in American
history; and put Americans back to work modernizing buildings and weatherizing homes.
HEALTH CARE:• The skyrocketing cost of health care — costs that are straining family budgets, crippling
businesses and consuming government budgets – is one of the greatest threats to
America’s fiscal health.
• In the last eight years, health care premiums have grown four times faster than wages,
and an additional nine million Americans have become uninsured. The cost of health
care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds.
• Even for people with health care, all it takes is one stroke of bad luck to become one of
the nearly 46 million uninsured — or the millions who have health care, but can’t afford it.
• Health care reform is no longer just a moral imperative, it is a fiscal imperative. If we
want to create jobs and rebuild our economy, then we must address the crushing cost of
health care this year.
EDUCATION:
• Our education policies will help determine whether our children have the chance to
fulfill their potential and whether our workers have the chance to build a better life for
their families.
• Education has always been the foundation for achieving the American dream, providing
opportunity to millions of American families, newcomers, and immigrants.
• Our nation’s economic competitiveness depends on providing every child with an
education that will enable them to compete in a global economy that is predicated on
knowledge and innovation.
• We cannot let other countries outperform us in education if America is to remain a
global economic leader in the 21st Century
HOW DOES THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET PLAN CREATE JOBS AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMY?
The first order of business for President Obama is to get our economy moving again, create jobs
and lay the foundation for growth in the short and long term. The President is committed to
bringing the type of change we need to the economy and to our national priorities that gets us
out of the boom and bust economic cycles we have seen over the last two decades and instead
provides for steady long term growth that we can count on. The future of our economy and job
creation is tied to our ability to improve education, make health care more affordable and invest
in renewable energy to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil - all priorities of the
President's budget plan.
WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THESE AIG BONUSES?
It is AIG’s own recklessness and greed that put the company in trouble in the first place and the
President shares the outrage of the country and the taxpayers over these bonuses. The President
has directed the Treasury Department to use the taxpayer's investment in AIG as leverage and
pursue every legal avenue available to block these bonuses. The President is doing everything
possible to get to the bottom of this and protect American taxpayers from this outrage.
HOW DOES THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN ADDRESS THE GROWING BUDGET DEFICIT?
The President believes that after we emerge from the current economic crisis which is gripping
the country, that we must get our fiscal house in order. His budget plan cuts wasteful spending,
eliminates unnecessary programs and allows tax breaks for the wealthiest of Americans and
corporations to expire in 2011. By making the needed investments to get our economy moving
again, and by making the hard choices in these other areas, President Obama's plan will cut the
current projected budget deficit in half by the end of his first term in office.
Wild Thing's comment.........
So they ask you to SIGN a document pledging your support.
What if you later decide you don’t support our leader? Will the local organizer come back to your house to re-educate you?
This is how it starts and I think it is scary stuff. What I’m wondering is what happens if you refuse to sign? Do they take down your name & address and report back to the high command?
I saw a report on Fox News this morning showing the Obamazombies going door-to-door in D.C.
This is what it feels like even thinking about this happening. heh heh

So here he is with a NEW website before the Bill called S.277 (formerly HR1388) hits the Senate Floor. He is very eager.
House adopts plan for 'volunteer' corps
By Bob Unruh
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.
The new bill specifically references the possibilities "if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service."
Such new requirements perhaps, the legislation notes, "would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."
No one, apparently with the exception of infants, would be excluded:
"The means to develop awareness of national service and volunteer opportunities at a young age by creating, expanding, and promoting service options for elementary and secondary school students, through service learning or other means, and by raising awareness of existing incentives."
According to a report by Canada Free Press, "'volunteerism' that kept America running since the days of its founding" would be "wiped out with the stroke of a pen."
"It becomes forced labor and like the practice of another era, presses American citizens of all ages and creeds, unknowingly into military service," the commentary said.
"On paper, H.R. 1388 is the 'Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act'; the more innocuous sounding 'The Give Act,' for short.
"The Give Act puts the finishing touches to Public Allies New Leadership for New Times, modeled after Saul Alinsky's 'Peoples Organizations' and operating under Michelle Obama," the commentary said.
"Michelle was also a pioneer in the social entrepreneur movement – leaders who create new approaches and organize to provide new solutions to social problems. Like most things Saul Alinsky, H.R. 1388 sounds noble in stating why wide-sweeping change is necessary," the commentary said.
"H.R. 1388 goes straight to the heart of volunteerism in America, impacting everything from the lemonade stands of neighborhood children, to the residents of senior citizens homes. … The Give Act puts tow-headed school children and silver-haired seniors in the official uniform of the new State, and encompasses every walk of life in main-street America," the commentary said. "Whether you are young or old, or firmly believe that volunteering means you are offering your time to the good of community work, you will be pressed into Obama's National Civilian Community Corps."
Groups of such "volunteers," would, under the legislation, be "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes. The Corps campus for a unit shall be in a facility or central location established as the operational headquarters and boarding place for the unit. … There shall be a superintendent for each camp."
The plan generated this concern from Resistnet.com: "This is the equivalent of brown shirts."
Another portion of the bill talks about a "service learning" plan that will be "a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."
A forum participant noted, "I wonder what's going to happen to those who refused to 'volunteer.' Maybe they will be put into a different 'campus.' I guess we will soon find out."
Formal announcements about the plan suggested something far different, picking a provision far down in the 200 pages of legislation to highlight.
According to a Business Wire statement released by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the bill "would formally authorize federal support for establishing the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America as a National Day of Service and Remembrance."
That provision is tucked into the far reaches of the legislation, but Schumer discussed it as if it were the primary point.
"I could not be more proud to work to pass this important provision," said Schumer. "September 11 should not only be a day for mourning – it should be a day to think about our neighbors, our community, and our country. We can take a tragic day in our nation's history and turn it into a force for good."
On the Albany Insanity blog, this concern was raised: "What gives the government the right to require individuals to give three years service under the guise of 'volunteer' service? It is not explicit exactly who is required but I think they get the bill passed and then iron out the details. It talks about uniforms and 'camps.' They revise the word 'camps' and call it 'campus.' There is language about Seniors and Community organizations."
This Bill is very long and very detailed.

Wild Thing's comment........
This is moving way too fast to keep up. I have never, in my life, seen anything like this.
“mandatory” “volunteer” corps....uuuuuuuuuugh
This is unConstitutional. I know, they don’t give a spit about the Constitution. I am just stunned at the number of (R)s that voted for it. 70 House Republicans voted for it. We need to clean house in 2010. I’m guessing not one of them read the d*mn thing. The way the dims have been shoving all these bills through so fast. If I was a congressman, I wouldn’t vote for anything that I did not understand or have not read.
And here is another thing about this in the bill.
Section6104 (b) 5-7, (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.
Let's say you have a daughter and she has to do this. She will not be going to some fun camp you have chosen, let's say one from your church or something. These camps "campuses" that Obama has in mind will be a mixed group I would suppose from all areas. Gang bangers, thugs, put in the same groups with innocent kids. This is a total nightmare it will be inflicting suffering and danger to the good people by the minority thugs and thugettes.
Also this and I truly do not see how this 3 or 4 year thing is possible even if a person was brain numb and wanted to do it. sheesh How is a person supposed to work and feed their families, and all the other things people do on their own, activities that have become apart of American life !
Plus the fact that Michelle Obama is involved in this makes me VERY nervous.
Obama and his ilk think of the citizens of our country as two legged live stock.
They assume that a Civilian Security Force will be the antidote for their fear of us.

Wild Thing's comment.........
Mandatory military service is practiced in Israel and Switzerland and maybe some other countries I am not aware of. But that is military and different then what Obama has planned.
If I get this right he wants the regular military as we know it but to pump up a civilian one and make them as he said as powerful or MORE powerful then our military. THAT is alarming to me. And their desire to change the words of Camp to Campus is a clear indication that they are trying to camoflauge their intentions.
"The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns.... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new." -Saul Alinsky,p.116, Rules for Radicals
From Obama's campaign speech's.
‘My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it."- Barrack Obama
"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." -Obama
"People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve."- Obama
Michelle Obama said:
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

Rahm Emanuel Interviewed About The Mandatory Civil Service Plan
Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff on Mandatory Civiil Service Plan
Wild Thing's comment.......
Wait till the lazy, do nothing democrats find out this might be a real thing and they have to get out of bed everyday to work for big brother. We already know what is wrong with this but the left is ignoring this stuff .....till they find out it means it is for them too.
Emmanuel used the wording in an interview “Diversity in Strength” and says everyone should be required to perform “Citizen Service” to give Americans a “common experience”. And all along I thought being an American IS a common experience. Not buying what your selling Rahm.
The Constitution is not for it:
Thirteenth Amendment:

Obama and Rahm Emanuel Plans For "civilian security force"
Obama's chief of staff choice favors compulsory universal service
Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, President-Elect Barack Obama's choice for chief of staff in his incoming administration, is co-author of a book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America,", that calls for, among other things, compulsory service for all Americans ages 18 to 25
Emanuel and co-author Bruce Reed insist "this is not a draft," but go on to write of young men and women, "the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service." They also warn, "[s]ome Republicans will squeal about individual freedom," ruling out any likelihood that they would let people opt out of universal citizen service.
From his book " The Plan"
"It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. ...
Here's how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs."
And this.....................
Plan leaked for 'civilian security force'?
Before blogs caught it, Obama site told of requiring students to serve
The official website of President-Elect Barack Obama, Change.gov, originally announced that Obama would "require" all middle school through college students to participate in community service programs; but after a flurry of blogs protested children being drafted into Obama's proposed youth corps, the website's wording was softened.
Originally, under the tab "America Serves" Change.gov read, "President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in under served schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps.
"Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year," the site announced.
The language of requiring students to serve and the creation of a "Classroom Corps" sparked a surge of criticism from bloggers for bringing back memories of the much-publicized video of marching Obama youth and Obama's "civilian national security force," which the candidate said in July would be just as powerful and well-funded as the U.S. military.
Some blogger comments that have been made:
Gateway Pundit called Obama's plan the "creation of his Marxist youth corps,"
DBKP commented, "'Choosing' to serve should be approved by parents – not required by the government. No amount of good intentions can sugar-coat words like 'mandatory,' 'compulsory' or 'required.'"
Following the furor raised by bloggers, however, the website's wording was changed.
The word "require" was stricken from the website yesterday, replaced with the phrase "setting a goal" and now also listing tax credits toward college tuition.
The original wording is captured below:
The current website's content now reads:
The new wording is consistent with Obama's campaign website, which also described the college tuition tax credit and detailed "enabling" Americans to serve, rather than "requiring" them to serve.
Elsewhere on the Change.gov site, however, it still describes the plan under the heading, "Require 100 hours of service in college."
Obama's selection of an advocate for mandatory civil service, Rahm Emanuel, as his chief of staff has further worried bloggers that Obama's plans may be more "requirement" than "encouragement."
In his book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America," Emanuel writes: "It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, all Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."
Obama has also yet to clarify what he meant during his July "Call to Service" speech in Colorado Springs, in which he insisted the U.S. "cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set" and needs a "civilian national security force."
Joseph Farah, founder and editor of WND, used his daily column first to raise the issue and then to elevate it with a call to all reporters to start asking questions about it.
"If we're going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't this rather a big deal?" Farah wrote. "I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?
"Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?" Farah wrote.
Wild Thing's comment..........
As Mark called him Adolf D'ohbama.
What was that Clinton quote, “Stroke of a pen, law of the land, pretty cool.”?
What will they call Comrade O's Youth Guard's??? The Obama Guard?
With Israel it is completely different. It is not only service to their country but their actual military. Israel has compulsory military service. The know their very survival as a people and a nation depends on it. However, the exception being that Israel is protecting itself from external forces, Obama may be shielding himself from critics.
....Thank you Mark for sending these articles to me.

" I called and spoke to Bernard, who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this "regiment" because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda. Duh
He assured me that he didn't know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, "Oh this is not good. I had no idea" I told him I'd take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, "what's the main concern? Because I want to understand where you're coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this."
Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn't we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.
I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up."

Isn't this great! NOT! This kind of thing is scary to me.No way is this motivation, it is more of the sick worship of Obama.

I pray we don't have this kind of thing for 8 years, this is something that would grow if Obama becomes President.

Obama's Marxist's Indoctrination Camps
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set,” said Obama on July 2. “We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”-Barrack Hussein Obama
This camp has no campfire sing-alongs, no marshmallow roasts, no knotty-walled log cabins to sleep in. Instead, campers spend their days inside a drab office building, with walls adorned with maps.
Barack Obama is inspiring a new generation of people to come in, and a lot of people have not been involved in the political process before," says Hans Riemer, national youth vote director for the Obama campaign.
"We are training them, teaching them how to be effective, showing them what their role is in our strategy to win the election ... We're taking people from raw enthusiasm to capable organizers."
"The most important thing is that they understand they are an important part of our strategy to win the election. This is not for show, this is not to feel good; this is to get trained and help us to win this election."
Obama Youth
The Obama Supporters have stooped to a new low!
This video is a reminder how Adolf Hitler exploited the young people of Germany as members of The Hitler Youth!
No Presidential Candidate in our history has caused this effect on families to enlist their children to this kind of exploitation!
The first part of the video are things from the past in history, but keep watching if you have time and about half way through it shows the children of today and it absolutely turned my stomach to see this happening.
Susan shares her story with fellow campers at the National Camp Obama in Burbank, California.
These camps are all across our country in various States. MA, N.Y.Nevada, etc. I think in every State.
The story telling exercises are the foundation of the model being used at Camp Obama. But they are not the end goal of the training. After a day of story telling, then came the nuts and bolts: training and exercises on how to function as an effective team, skills training for volunteer recruitment and voter contact and review and explanations of field plans for Georgia, South Carolina and the rest of the South.
The teams, which were organized by Congressional districts, were guided through a process of setting goals and making a plan to achieve them. While still at the training, thirteen different teams scheduled thirteen different volunteer recruitment meetings back in the districts--and picked up their cell phones to get 284 commitments to attend from friends and neighbors. Getting those immediate results fired everyone up and the closing ceremony, in which every participant received a certificate, was incredibly high-energy and emotional.
This handful of Camp Obama teams are supposed to be just the beginning of the Obama organization in their Congressional districts. The goal they are carrying back with them is to establish parallel teams of five to eight people to be responsible for cities and neighborhoods all the way down to the precinct level.
If Obama wins the election much of this will be continued after he is in the White House.
.
Wild Thing's comment...........
I have posted about the Obama camps before but that was during the primaries and I thought he would have stopped them once he became the Democrat candidate for President. But he continues then and like I found out will continue something like this after he is in the White House if he wins the election.
Obama is going to cause a civil war in this country. This is the indoctrination into the Saul Alinksy method, channeled by Obama. It is, indeed, a fearful time for America.You know, it really is not hyperbole to compare this to Hitler Youth. Seriously though, this man is truly terrifying. The more people like us try to point out Obama’s fascist tendencies and the almost religious devotion that his followers have, the more the “moderate” liberals and the MSM deride us. To their peril.
There is so little opposition to the things Obama says or does; at best, they wish he used even more ruthless fascist tactics. Between now and November 4, it is our duty to let all those we know that this is not merely another election, that Obama is not just a tax-and-spend liberal, but that—like Hitler—he is attempting to use democracy to destroy it.
We need more conservative/republican teachers in our schools and universities , these mush brains have been taught by dedicated liberals so far to the left that communism is their god. Obama IS the ONE THEY have been waiting for just as his other followers have been as well. I include in this the majority of the media and the politicians on the left also. The Code Pink people that are known communists rejoice for the ONE to lead them into the land of socialism. communism and Marxism.
Here are a few more glaring facts:
1. Obama thugs attempting to get a Chicago Talk radio program shut down because the host interviewed an author critical of Obama.
2. The Democrats in Congress speaking about a reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine.
3. The signs that have been banned on public ground at an Obama rally in Virginia today.
4. What Obama is attempting in St. Louis, MO (use of law enforcement to shut down free speech that the Obama camp calls lies). This has the Governor publishing statements and looking into Civil Right’s violations.
5. Obama himself telling his throngs in Nevada to get in people’s faces, argue with them, harass them etc...
6. Obama’s lawyers threatening the NRA with legal action for an ad they have running about Obama’s views on the 2nd Amendment.
And I’ve no doubt the list goes on; not to mention the massive voter fraud that is happening in one of Obama’s pet organizations, ACORN. A corrupt vile blight on the American public that the Democrat majority in Congress wish to fund in their socialist bailout of Wall Street.
Did you catch Jim Lehrer’s slip during the debate Friday night when he said, “One of these men will be the next man to RULE the country?”
Turbulent times bring great men to the fore.
Churchill said, “We will never surrender!” He reminded the world that Nazism was so horrible that even if the world succumbed to its initial might, the very human spirit would one day rise up against it and defeat it.

Obama's 'Civilian security force' Excised From 'call to service' Transcript
Obama's 'Big Brother' vanishes from speech
'Civilian security force' excised from 'call to service' transcript
The stunning comments from Democrat Sen. Barack Obama that the United States needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar United States Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force have mysteriously disappeared from published transcripts of the speech.
In the comments, Obama confirmed the U.S. "cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set."
Campaign officials have declined to return any of a series of WND telephone calls over several days requesting a comment on the situation. Nor have they posted a transcript of the speech on their website.
But transcripts posted at both the Wall Street Journal and Denver Post do not have the critical comment that has raised such concern. Those transcripts of Obama's speech in Colorado Springs July 2 include the following:
Those transcripts of Obama's speech in Colorado Springs July 2 include the following:
"We'll send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods. We'll enlist veterans to help other vets find jobs and support, and to be there for our military families. And we'll also grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. "
"And we'll use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create an online network where Americans can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment, and skill sets; you'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities. This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda, and make their own change from the bottom up."
It was at that point in the speech, at about 16 minutes on a YouTube video, Obama says:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives 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."

Hitler Obama.
Erasing history as he goes... Sorta like Stalin.

B.Hussein Obama is beyond dangerous and a very serious threat to what is left of our Republic. This communist is not qualified to flip burgers at Dairy Queen, much less be the Commander in Chief.

Obama's 'civilian national security force'
"We are going to grow our foreign service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy," said Obama. "We cannot to continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."-- Barack Obama July 2, 2008
At this same speech, he promised to withhold funds from school districts that don't make their junior high and high schoolers serve 50 hours a year. 100 hours for college students, provided their type of service is deemed acceptable by a sprawling new Federal bureaucracy.
Oh, and Obama's going to double the size of the Peace Corps while quadrupling AmeriCorps. I'm curious if anyone will be left to fill all the newly vacated private sector jobs.
Then B. Hussein Obama concluded his speech with this gem:
"Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it."
Barack Obama: Call to Service in Colorado Springs, CO--July 2nd, 2008
Obama's 'civilian national security force'
Barack Obama's campaign about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs – a statement that blew my mind, one that has had me scratching my head ever since.
In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives 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."
What does it mean?
If we're going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't this rather a big deal?
I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?
Now, maybe he was misquoted by the Congressional Quarterly and the Chicago Tribune. I guess it's possible. If so, you would think he would want to set the record straight. Maybe he misspoke. That has certainly happened before. Again, why wouldn't the rest of my colleagues show some curiosity about such a major and, frankly, bone-chilling proposition?
Are we talking about creating a police state here?
The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn't count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion.
Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?
If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?
So far, despite our attempts to find out, the Obama campaign is not talking.
At this point all I can do is enlist your help – and the help of every other journalist who still thinks the American people have a right to know the specifics about a presidential candidate's biggest and boldest initiatives before the election. I also want to ask radio talk-show hosts across America to start asking this same question. I have a feeling if others join our quest, we might yet get clarification on this proposal from Obama.
Who will Obama appoint to administer this new "civilian national security force"? Where will the money come from? Where in the Constitution does he see justification for the federal government creating such a domestic army?
The questions are endless.
But before we can hope to get to the specifics, we need much more in the way of generalizations from Obama.
Certainly there have been initiatives like this elsewhere – Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, North Korea. But has anything like this ever been proposed in a free country?
I have a feeling there would be more questions from the press if I myself had proposed the creation of something as preposterous as a "civilian national security force" than there has been about this proposal by the presidential candidate currently leading in most of the polls. I'm quite sure I would be hung out to dry as some kind of Nazi thug. Meanwhile, Obama makes this wild suggestion and it is met with a collective yawn from the watchdogs.

Wild Thing's comment........
OK. Now this guy is really starting to scare the crap out of me. More then before, more then he ever has. OMG, it sounds like Germany in the 1930’s, or Bolshevik Russia.
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives 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."
Lifted straight from Schicklgruber's writings. Anyone who votes for this guy is mad.
Obama's going to create a civilian national security force as strong as the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -- combined? With the same budget? And hardware, apparently!!
The SS was an elite military unit.
The Gestapo watched the people.
The Gestapo is what this sounds like to me......Obama's little plan would be more along those lines I am sure. Keep an eye on the people to see no one gets out of line or mutters a bad thought about the "administration". Scary stuff indeed.
Freedom means you building your dream. Your government exists to defend your right to build your dream.
A free country is the sum total of free people each dedicated to building his family and his dream, three hundred million dreams being made real daily. Thats a free country.
A free citizen is not the agent of his government, his government is his agent. Government in a free country is not a king, it is an employee. It guards the gate and takes out the trash.
History tells us what ends such an internal security force will be used for.
Clealy, as an abject marxist and militant anti-American, he will need such a force to counter those bitter, christian, rural folks who are clinging to their guns. Molōn labe!
This nation is going to be thrown into absolute chaos if he becomes President. Obama doesn’t understand the people of this nation. We aren’t going to sell our freedom to some wannabe hippy marxist skipping across the country offering “hope” and “change”.
Now I wonder if THIS is why Obama suddenly supported FISA. It certainly can't be what it is meant for regarding terrorists, Obama may have other plans for it.
....Thank you Mark for this article and information as well.
From Mark:
In 1945 Hitler decided to make a Home Defense force, called the Volkes Sturm, the Home Guard. Many of the boys ages 10 or 12 years old wer recruited to this. Many didn't have a choice, they were ordered to report.
There were given parts of uniforms and some hats and a 'Panzerfaust', like an RPG, anti-tank weapon and these kids and old men were told to go out there and stop Pattons Tanks. Then they were loaded onto trucks and taken out to the front, which in 1945 was not to far away. Many of the children, after the leaders had left they threw down their weapons, uniforms and hats and ran home. These were kids for God sake. Sadly though, many did not throw down their weapons, and stayed and died for Hitler. This was a huge shock for our own troops to confront kids and have to kill them.
