More Change You’ll Hope Doesn’t Happened: “Mandatory Volunteerism” Bill Passes House

(Originally posted by J.D. Long at Porter County Politics)

And it’s not just for kids anymore, either. Here’s the link to the bill’s text. Some highlights:

*Requires states to develop comprehensive plans for volunteer and paid service by Baby Boomers and older adults.

*Authorizes the Corporation to treat September 11th annually as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.

*Establishes within the Investment for Quality and Innovation program: (1) a ServeAmerica Fellowships program providing fellowships to individuals chosen by states to participate in service projects addressing certain areas of national need; (2) a Silver Scholarship Grant Program providing scholarships to individuals age 55 or older who complete at least 500 hours of service in a year in an area of national need; and (3) an Encore Fellowships program providing one-year fellowships to individuals age 55 or older who serve in areas of national need and receive training to transition to public service employment. Makes ServeAmerica fellows eligible for national service educational awards.

*Eliminates federal funding for the Points of Light Foundation.

*Makes anyone 55 years of age or older eligible as Senior Corps volunteers.

*Expresses the sense of the Congress that the number of AmeriCorps, VISTA, and NCCC participants should reach 250,000 by 2014.

Here’s the link to see if your Representative voted for this “Mandatory Volunteerism” atrocity.

Which makes this forced manual labor by the masses directed by an overclass. You know hat that makes this, don’t you? Perhaps Wikipedia can help:

(Read more after the leap)

Slavery is a form of forced labor where people are considered to be, or treated as the property of others. Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages).

Think Congress is arrogant enough yet? Worse yet, Seventy (70) Republicans joined almost all the Democrats in passing this monstronsity:
