"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."

You should see the furious editing that took place to change the word "camp" into "campuses" to hide the intent. They mean to conscript people, force them into "camps" and "re-educate" them. The word "cadre" appears in the bill as well. The fools doing cut and paste from the commie instruction books missed that little detail.

Where are they going to put all these camps? How big are they going to be? And how can they get everyone in there for three years!?!?!?

Have none of these idiots thought this thing through? The logistics alone make it impractical, not to mention dealing with all the people who are going to resist doing this.

Since it's three years of *volunteer* service, who's going to be supporting the family and paying the bills? Who's going to be taking care of the property and kids? What about people with health issues? What kind of service are they expected to give?

This whole thing is NOT feasible by any stretch of the imagination and if common sense does not play into our politicians decision that *mandatory volunteer* is not really volunteer, perhaps the problems with the practical aspects can get through to them.
