Concerned Citizens,
A bill that would require 18-21 year olds to "volunteer".
Isn't that called a Draft?
Do you love your children and grandchildren?
Of course you do. Well, how would you like it if these children were
forced to enter a camp at age 18, run by Michelle Obama and other
government enforcers, and forced to be trained to be a "volunteer"
until age 21? How would you, yourself like to look forward to retiring
and devoting your time to some volunteer service of your own choosing
only to be forced to enter the same kind of government camp for
seniors? Does this sound suspicious to you? Me too. Especially when I
learned that just such a bill has already quickly passed the House of
Representatives and is scheduled to be voted
on as early as next week by the Senate - with or
without going to conference as is the usual protocol when it passes out
of committee. This is another rush-rush effort just like the last
stimulus bill was rushed to a vote before anyone had a chance to read
the whole thing and really discern what was included in the bill.
This effort was called the GIVE ACT in the
House which has already passed. In the Senate, it's called the SERVE
ACT (#277). Besides the fact that it is a bill that would require every
18-21 year old, male and female to attend a camp and "volunteer" to be trained
and taught a government-sponsored ideology, the fact that it
is being rushed through the legislature and not reported on by the
media, makes me extremely suspicious What's the rush and why the
silence? What is in these bills that they don't want us to know about?
In addition, does it make sense to spend $75 million or more a year to
put our young people in camp when we're in the middle of hard economic
times?
Check it out. See what you can find out.
But, in the meantime, since they are trying to rush this into law
before you have a chance to investigate, call
your Senators and tell them to vote, "No" on Senate bill #277, telling
them that you object to this bill. The people I know
who have already done so have received surprised responses that they
even know about the bill.
Let
us BURN THE PHONES LINES tomorrow to
call our Senators to demand that they
NOT vote on S. 277: The Serve Act, when it reaches the floor of the
Senate next week. Then, please call all your friends and ask them to do the same; then to
call their friends.
When calling Congress, it is best to keep your
comments short, like this:
“I am calling to ask Senator _____ to vote NO on a
bill that is due to reach the Senate floor next week. The name of this
bill is The Serve Act and its number is S. 277.” That’s all
you have to say; staffers are BUSY and will not ask you WHY you are
stating this.
But you and I BOTH KNOW the reason: This bill is DANGEROUS
for our youth, and now also for our seniors. It is not “voluntary” but
“mandatory” and we want nothing to do with it!
Here is the news from the Senate Health, Education,
Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee on this new bill:

It DOES say that “retirees” can be called into
service, too!!
Here is the article on Fox News about the GIVE ACT – the House version that did pass
yesterday, 3/18:

Note that SOME House members ARE concerned about the
ramifications of this bill on the young.
Finally, here is an article from our friends in CANADA
that “spills the beans” on the REAL AGENDA behind these two bills:

Remember the
regulation the Department of Defense made last week that would limit
ammunition sales and drive the price up as well as create hundreds of
lost jobs? It was announced on talk radio last Sunday and both
ammunition makers and pro-gun sales people pounced on it, making phone
calls, sending faxes, meeting with the proper people and it's now been
shelved - in less than a week's time from the announcement. We need the
same kind of quick action on the SERVE ACT.
