Are you ready to hear what you are in for?
America Serves
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.
Did you catch that?
You are required to serve 50 hours of 'community service' (as defined by the Obama administration) if you are in middle school or high school.
If any of this sounds like something that you should have seen coming, you should have seen it coming. If you're a kid in middle school who has been wearing an Obama button, welcome to the wonderful world of mandatory volunteering!
Take a look at this, which is the New Party's agenda. As I've written before, the New Party was a group that Barack belonged to briefly that was a social democrat (socialist) group in nature. Here are a few of their agendas:
A society in which we all take seriously our responsibilities as parents, workers and citizens.
And...
Communities in which residents, neighborhood organizations, businesses, police, and local officials cooperate as equal partners to provide a safe and secure environment in which to live and work and study.
The New Party was smart enough not to say things like "required volunteerism." But I'd love it if everyone would go to that link, above, and read through their agenda. Then check the things off as Barack brings them up.
