H.R.-1444 and mandatory service

0 votes

The text previously in HR 1388 is now in HR 1444.

"Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."

HR 1388 and S 277 have both passed.

Brainwashing

Is the ultimate objective of everything in this bill. It's as if someone asked, "How can we brainwash America's children to serve the New World Order most effectively?" And this is what they came up with.

This bill is downright

This bill is downright subversive and nasty, and not getting enough attention anywhere! What kind of reptiles take the language omitted from another bill because of the public outcry and make a whole new bill out of it? It should be our job to send them back to the holes they slithered out of...but hmm, I don't see a lot of attention being given to this bill, not on C4L, not here, not on Open Congress.

The text you quoted was from Section 4 (b) 6. I have not, incidentally, had any luck at finding this text in the original HR 1388, but hey, this isn't some exercise in arcane textual criticism. The language in the current HR 1444 is clear and easily findable. Instead, I submit the speech of Rep. Paul against the original bill:

I'm keeping an eye on this one. And you should too.
