HR 1388 is a bill that was passed by the House this past week. It is now headed to the Senate. It has been assigned a Senate number S277 Kennedy/Hatch Serve America Act. This bill, if allowed to pass in the Senate will change our lives in ways we never thought would happen in our life times.
The first part of this bill comes across innocently as one that expands the Vista volunteer program started by past administrations and helps young college students. There is one huge difference as one reads further into the bill. It establishes manditory volunteerism by all adults and children in our country. All people will be assigned volunteer duties for three years, they will wear uniforms and be indoctrinated in rules set down by our current administration. Elderly will be housed in camps (this word has been changed to campus). Is this starting to sound like the "brown shirts"?? You bet it is.
