Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden

Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden
By Jonas Clark
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:

SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.

(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the
following activities:
(1) Attempting to influence legislation.
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.
(7) 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.
