I don't know a thing in the world about the group that put this together but I really like their pledge! I'd love to see more of these type videos and pledges, more kids standing up for true values, liberty, our country. I'm always a hopeful person, always believe things'll get better... but this one perked me up a bit more than normal!

Not trying to bore you... but a bit more on the National Service Act
From Michelle Malkin:
To GIVE and to SERVE: the $6 billion National Service boondoggle
My syndicated column today looks at the massive expansion of government-funded “national service.” Debate began yesterday in the Senate, where the $6 billion SERVE Act’s primary co-sponsors are Sens. Ted Kennedy and…Orrin Hatch. And there’s the rub. Since its inception, AmeriCorps has been a bipartisan-supported beast. The Evil Party and the Stupid Party strike again. If this does lead to the establishment of a civilian national security force, as Obama signaled during the campaign, Republicans who vote for this Trojan Horse will have no one to blame but themselves.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find federal legislation titled “The GIVE Act” and “The SERVE Act” downright creepy. Even more troubling: The $6 billion price tag on these bipartisan bills to expand government-funded national service efforts. Volunteerism is a wonderful thing, which is why millions of Americans do it every day without a cent of taxpayer money. But the volunteerism packages on the Hill are less about promoting effective charity than about creating make-work, permanent bureaucracies, and left-wing slush funds.

And more thoughts from Barracuda Babes:
Mandatory government service for our kids?
There's been a LOT of discussion across the conservative Internet regarding HR 1388 ("Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act" (GIVE Act)), now S 3577 (National Service Reauthorization Act) in the Senate.
I've watched and been reading the email alerts and various blogs, but haven't really had time to fully delve into the details. I still haven't had time to read the entire bill itself, not that I'd grasp it fully if I did given the way they legaleeze the language! Plus, I note there have been a number of amendments.
It seems innocent enough.
After all, every President in recent years has had some sort of somewhat similar volunteer service group.
However....

W.A.M.: HR1388 Petition
URGENT REQUEST TO ALL ACTIVIST BLOGGERS & FORUM LEADERS
March 20, 2009
The House of Representatives sailed through HR1388 this Wednesday- without conscience or attention to consequence - in keeping with their voting record so far this year. A version of this
measure is now in the hands of the Senate. If passed into law, it will fulfill Obama/Axelrod's largest linchpin to take over our country and our society- by taking over our youth (and even attempt to lure in our needy senior citizens by "paying" them to co-operate.
More details on this looming danger-the greatest we have faced since Obama took over are revealed at Wake Up America movement website. COVERING UP THIS GIVE ACT IS THE REASON for all the intentionally-timed commotion on AIG.
What they stand to gain on this National Service Laws rewrite is far greater than anything they lose on temporary criticism for their AIG conduct! Among its other shockers it allows for a national Commission of AmeriCorp to create MANDATORY SERVICE - with virtually unlimited power - to be required all our children- to teach and disseminate Values of this adminstration's design!
AN URGENT PETITION to the SENATE - for the signature of you and your readership- is ready and waiting for everyone's signature. W.A.M. will send with all signers on Monday A.M. so do act fast!
(After signing this PETITION, you will gain immediate access to other ACTION TOOLS on this critical issue.)
RIGHT NOW: will you please OFFER PROTECTION to our country's future generations, your children, your aged relations (plus all existing American charities and authentic community service groups) by POSTING THIS LETTER TO THE SENATE on YOUR WEBSITE OR FORUM TODAY! (Also please forward to all email lists - below dotted line on this send.)
This Letter to the Senate will briefly update your readers on what's really happening in D.C.
and give them an opportunity to make our voices heard immediately. WE MUST STOP THE
GIVE ACT- we can only do so by acting TOGETHER IMMEDIATELY!
PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE LINK TO THE NO-G.I.V.E Petition - where more details on this dreadful distortion of "National Service" are also located:

URGENT: STOP the G.I.V.E. ACT from TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS
THE SENATE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM ALL OF US NOW! The House passed this!
HERE IS A FAX LETTER to SEND YOUR SENATORS showing WE KNOW what's really GOING ON in D.C. All are welcome to send this letter as is- or revise to suit. Link below will provide free FAX access plus all contact info for all US Senators after you sign the Petition.
For more information and to sign NO G.I.V.E Petition, go to:

Regarding: Taking Away American Rights in the name of G.I.V.E Act
As a voter and political activist, I am appalled at the lack of diligence and conscience with which our Congress has been conducting itself. It is clear to all informed citizens by now that the AIG fiasco lies directly in the lap of Congress itself.
Whatever the Treasury Secretary did or did not know, it is known that the Stimulus Bill which Capitol Hill made law contained a loophole for the controversial AIG bonuses. If you all were taking responsible time to study legislation before you, irresponsible outcomes like this would not be happening!
Other incidents of questionable contents which your bodies have voted through to law this year are too numerous to mention. When the consequences of these new laws also become more apparent to the American public, will you all just continue to play the blame game - without accepting responsibility for your negligence? Like the billions for A.C.O.R.N., L.C.C.R. and the recent CARD CHECK push to make American workers and businesses subject to the demands of an International Union (SEIU). At least one of these organizations is already recognized for criminal conduct. We need you to pay attention!
We the People are disgusted with the misuse of Mainstream Media to divert attention from critical issues as one scandal after another is used to distract the public from the controversial, misguided, massive spending which you, as a body, are voting through. This includes your own recent pay raise while the rest of America is losing financial ground, stock value, jobs and their homes.
The current legislation to rewrite the “National Service Act” into a government-run indoctrination of American youth - and government take-over of the role of charitable institutions and community service organization (including pay-offs to involve hapless senior citizens) is absolutely the very last straw! The lengths to which the Obama regime is going to push its agenda into a permanent alteration of the face and fabric of our nation - all under the guise of “rushed emergency measures” - has become glaringly obvious and revolting to all our country stands for!
If you have the integrity to hold the Senate seat to which We the People have elected you - and you perform with due diligence on this measure - you will certainly stop this G.I.V.E Act take-over from becoming law. This letter from one voter is an urgent plea, representing millions of Americans, who look on in horror as our trusted officials undercut our economy - with ill-timed and ill-advised sweeping, rushed revisions of our nation’s laws which undermine our entire way of life.
I pray you will recall we are meant to be “One Nation Under God” - not one nation under Obama and urgently request that you demonstrate respect for your constituents, our Constitution and the United States by doing the job we have hired you to do. Please apply the full power of your office to withdraw any and all legislation re: U.S. National Service standards and requirements and its further funding and return your attention to the really critical matters at hand - to preserve our security, liberties and prosperity- not to undo them all in this dangerous manner.
Your actions on this matter will be scrutinized and your responsible conduct on costly, damaging National Service revisions will move quickly to public attention with lasting consequence!
