I’m sorry... The elected official’s comment was on a different thread. Here’s the quote and a link...

A Democrat Congressman yesterday said they will use “whatever means necessary” to reinstate the off-shore drilling ban and make it permanent.
““One way or the other, it will be reinstated,” said Inslee. “One way or the other, by any means necessary.
“We are off the Pacific coast, and there would be a civil war,” said Inslee. “There would be something like a secessionist movement if there was a serious attempt to [permanently] remove the moratorium.”

When Christians are put in these “camps” for re-education, be like Daniel and pray anyway.

Since that violates the First Amendment, it makes the bill illegal.

Two words:

Campaign Finance Reform

(I threw in an extra word for free)...

You know that they will be carrying some form of the Obama logo. I GUARANTEE IT.

Welcome to the Obama youth camps. Get your blue shirts and prepare for indoctrination.

Lesson #1 “some of your parents may not understand what we are trying to do here. If you are having a problem explaining this to your parents please let one of our staff or your counselor know so we can help explain the process and our goals to your parents.

Lesson #1 translation- if your parents disagree with “the One” (the fuhrer) tell one of your handlers so they can be re-educated in another camp.

“You know that they will be carrying some form of the Obama logo. I GUARANTEE IT.”

Well, naturally. It’s a camp, um, campus. Every time I go to camp I get a camp t-shirt, they’re all one matching color and have the camp logo. Builds unity of purpose and a sense of community.

It’s natural that these camps will too, and if they have the red, white and blue “laundromat washing machine window” that Obama uses, what could be more natural?

The Boy Scout logo has an eagle and a flag, doesn’t it? And they do indoctrination at Scout camp, with that whole flag and oath thing, so what’s to worry about?

As for camps for adults, just because every communist takeover in history has resulted in the death or incarceration of 30% of the adult population does not mean it will happen here. If you continue to fret about it, we’ll recommend this voluntary tranquilizer to ease your anxiety, it’s only 800 mg of Haldol in a cherry flavored syrup. You like cherries, Munz?

Or would you like to see what’s in Room 101?

Section 6104 has a provision for the Commission to determine if a reasonable manadatory requirement can be set.

Guess all they have to do is say “Yes” and it’s done.

Let’s face it; you need a lot of people to escort women to abortion clinics, protect gay “out-festivals” and shut down churches.

Thank you! I had been searching for keywords.

The “get out the vote” prohibition is gone, since A.N.S.W.E.R and ACORN and the others are nonpartisan!

And, if I read the camp, um, campus section correctly, those volunteers don’t get paid- I could find nothing about that.

I just looked at p 160 in the As-reported-in-senate version, and the text is stricken-out, it was removed from S 277 as reported.

When I C&P the strikethru disappears. In fact the entire Volunteers For Prosperity section is struck-through.

Spoke too soon, I found it on p471, they re-wrote teh VFP stuff. The prohibitions apply to Volunteers for Prosperity, not, apparently, the Obama Yoot Corps in the camps, uh, campuses, or the other service orgs. I wonder why only VFP can’t do these things?

I believe it is. But by another name and rubber stamped by Congress. Obama got a hard time last fall with his version and yanked it from his website.

“Obama requires community service and removes his agenda from website after scrutiny”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2128883/posts

Suddenly 5 months later, Voila! Here comes a bill almost identical to his proposal only introduced by a Democrat in Congress.

INDEED.

And worship and sing . . . that really drives the demonic forces crazy.

"My first question is: Will the shirts be brown or black?"

Whatever color you were wearing before they took it from you.

Thanks Bhoy. Way to go!

These Senators work for us and need to be constantly reminded that we are watching them like a hawk and we have long memories.

Our voice is one that won't be muffled.
