"Obama’s ‘The Give Act’ = Mandatory Civil Service"
I first heard about this at a conspiracy/woo forum, where someone cut’n'pasted this article: http://albanysinsanity.wnymedia.net/…-service-laws/
Read what they’re saying at ATS:

Pelosi Statement on House Passage of the GIVE Act WASHINGTON, March 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement after the House overwhelmingly passed a bill this afternoon to dramatically expand national service opportunities and help Americans play a role in the economic recovery. The bill, the Generations Invigoration Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act, passed the house by a vote of 321 to 105. [...] "The GIVE Act will create 175,000 new service opportunities - more than tripling the number of volunteers nationwide. And it will reward those who volunteer with real investments in their education. It also expands the diversity of our nation’s volunteer corps - encouraging Americans from middle school students to retirees to give to their communities. [...] |
That’s hardly a significant proportion of the population. Surely compulsory national service would involve millions of positions.
I might go and read the actual bill itself, but I thought others might be interested in this in the meantime.
