"On March 18, Rep. George Miller, a Democrat from California, tacked an amendment on H.R. 1388, entitled 'Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act,' or GIVE (to government), Obama’s plan to require mandatory service for all able young people. Miller’s amendment will 'prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing,' according to GovTrack.us, a site that tracks Congress.
"In other words, Obama’s 'volunteer corps' act, passed by the House with a 321-105 margin and requiring the government to develop a plan for indentured servitude, would deny millions of people their right to oppose and organize against government legistation under the First Amendment. 'This is as close to a sedition act, a violation of 1st Amendment rights, as has been proposed in recent history. A basic right as a part of our natural, inalienable rights, is to resist government. Our founders not only knew it was a right but it was a responsibility. This legislation begins to break that down significantly,' writes Gary Wood for the Examiner."GIVE (up your rights) will conscript millions of young people, put them in uniforms and send them packing to 4-year 'public service' academies where they will be indoctrinated and trained to become 'public sector leaders.'"
