I’m Shaking my head. Time to type some letters up.

Thanks for the ping.

[LibertyRocks]

Going back over some pings I missed. That might be a good idea. Really the only reason I suggested that we might join with the LP is that they have ballot access already in a LOT of states, and organizations for petitioning in the others. Not sure how feasible this would be, or whether the LP would even welcome some of us anymore, I just thought that might be easier than reinventing the wheel.

Your idea is definitely worthy of more consideration. I’ve just seen so many websites and groups pop up that unless we had some serious money backing us our ability to organize would probably be severely hampered. The one thing the internet has done that is negative is make so many “homes” for various Conservatives that getting them all together could prove difficult.

However, seeing how big FR is - it may just be the platform to make it work...

[Kenny]

Glenn needs to know about this.

Yes! Glen & Rush!

[Wisconsinlady]

That is a very good idea to just send money locally to candidates (so you know where it’s going). I am going to do that from now on.

[Wisconsinlady]

I just emailed my disappoint to Congressman Petri-R for voting YEA for this bill. Can’t our congressmen see what is happening here? BTW, I emailed my Senators to vote NAY, but they are the two most liberal DemoRats you’ve ever laid eyes on, and I’m embarrassed that they supposedly “represent” me. Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold.

[Nowhere Man]

Hatch is one of my Senators - lost cause. We need to get rid of him.

Tim Murphy is my Congressman, good guy, at least I thought until he voted for this. FUBO

[bankcritic]

I was getting all set to post something about how this bill didn't actually require mandatory service and it was just funding volunteer programs (as if spending more money was a good thing, but thats another argument), but then I went back and had a good read of the article, and of the bill and there's really no other interpretation you can get out of it. This is pure Fascism.

[Kenny]

If we can get the word out about the “Camps” and the “Uniforms”

I've already started trying to contact talk show hosts but we need to get the word out fast!

[444Flyer]

I think Beck would be the right man to run with this one. He believes in helping your country, but not to be forced into this type of coerced slavery to the State like 1984.

[Nowhere Man]

Time to break out the Guido "Guy" Fawkes masks.

[Ancient Drive]

this is a total abusive and rape of the constitution. I could not believe seeing Mr. Lollipop was saying what he was saying. people like him ran the inquisition.

[Nowhere Man]

These people sure are pushing it aren't they. They shall rue the day!

I feel like I'm in Germany, circa 1979, and the Soviets are coming across the Fulda Gap in spades and we are being overrun along with getting word over the radio that we can use our nukes "at our discretion." Except this is in my own country!

I'm an amateur radio operator and shortwave/scanner listener. "In God We Trust, all others we monitor" as I like to say. B-) I was listening to WWCR (World Wide Christian Radio) on 3215 kc in the 90 meter shortwave band. At 11 PM Eastern Time is a guy by the name of Andy Adask who hosts a patriot show called the "First Amendment Hour." He went on tirade yesterday with all of this happening and he just kept going on, paraphrasing, "what in the Hell do these guys want, a da$% Civil War? They keep pushing and pushing and won't stop!"

I remember back in the 1990's, under President Clinton, patriot radio via shortwave was big, expect it to be big again.

My main shortwave radio, I need to fix a transistor in it, but I have a good backup, my Sanyo RP8700 I got when I was 12 for the Christmas of 1978. BTW, that is the same radio I first heard "Radio Zimbabwe" on when Mugabe took over in 1979/80, I remember getting a sick feeling then.

Will youths be “volunteered” to pick lettuce in Yuma so we won’t need illegal migrant workers? [/sarc]

[Cloverfarm]

LR wrote “...Your body, your time, your energy do not exist to become fodder for our government. They have NO RIGHT to demand these things of us ...”

Exactly.

Kaiser Wilhelm and the Czars had mandatory conscription. There are paintings in the Russian National Museum, poignant scenes of young men being pulled away from their families, never to return.

Furthermore, this is why MY family came TO America — or as my great-great-grandfather told his baby son, “You shall not serve the Kaiser.”

[444Flyer]

Look closely at those “Nay” votes. Those are our future leaders. Support them financially, and promote them regularly with others. They get IT.

[metmom]

This might be of interest to you homeschoolers. I recall pining you to this topic when it first came up. It looks like it’s in the works for real now.

This is pure Fascism.

I was just reading some more sections of the bill. Cannot believe some of the language. Lookie here: (c) Special Consideration- To the extent practicable, the Corporation shall give special consideration to applications submitted by predominantly Black institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and community colleges serving predominantly minority populations.

[unkus]

You’re exactly right. Thanks for the extra effort in finding this.

Not only Fascist but racist.

[bankcritic]

I saw that part, I think its more or less standard boilerplate nowdays, even if it is rampant racism.
