Obama Youth
Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden
Is
this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office
for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn
McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the
House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105
in favor. Next it goes to the Senate for a vote and then on to President
Obama.
This
bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education”
(GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan
is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three
months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has
serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.
The
Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in
religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as
part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship,
constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or
worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious
instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or
witnessing.
Again,
is this what America voted for? Here is part of the HR1388
Bill’s wording:
SEC.
1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section
125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as
follows:
