Obama Style Community Organizer Immortalized in HR 1388




Obama style community organizer immortalized in HR 1388

Everybody becomes a community organizer in Barack Obama’s America. Everybody meaning the roughly 7 million people called to public duty in the $6 billion National Service effort.

Obama wants everybody made in his image in a plan that enshrines the “community organizer” as part of the U.S. pop culture.

But members pressed into the service of the 1 million-strong Youth Brigade, sanctioned by “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE), will have none of the freedoms of the community organizer who started it all.

There’s no room for God in Obama’s long promised Youth Brigade, no room to protest, petition, to boycott or to support a strike, and and loopholes to give its mandatory membership a pass.

Everybody in GIVE, HR 1388 in legislation, will follow the rules and you can bet next year’s crops that the letter O will be somewhere on this Army’s uniforms.

Who will be pressed into the new army of community organizers? Obama’s plan requires anyone receiving school loans, among others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade.

You can’t proselytize anybody while you’re in, but count on being proselytized by the time you’re out.

Lofty in intent, HR 1388 touts aims to “leverage investments to increase State, local, business and philanthropic resources to address national and local challenges”, but is downright specific in what its members can and cannot do.

“The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in 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,”
(thevoicemagaine.com.....see further down in this post).

That’s the new battle hymn of GIVE’s “Onward non-Christian Soldiers”.

Among other house rules categorized under Prohibited Activities: A participant in an approved national service position may not engage in the following activities:


Attempting to influence legislation.

Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts or strikes.

What’s good for ACORN is not good for GIVE.

Section 120 of the Bill--already rubber-stamped by the Senate--describes in the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” how “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.”

“Criminal justice”, “environmental stewardship” and “public safety” are the subjects of this mandatory program.

Everybody (everybody meaning some 7 million people) when you add in retired and other former law enforcement, fire, rescue and emergency personnel, baby boomers, and even the able bodied residents of senior citizen homes will be an Obama-like community organizer under GIVE.

In other words, an Obama-styled army of community organizers modeled after Saul Alinsky’s “Peoples Organizations” without members ever knowing it.

This `What’s-good-for-Barack-and-Michelle is what’s good for you’ directive came via a 321-105 margin vote when introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives.

But its shelf life goes back to January 16, 2009. Company across the aisle when the National and community Service Act of 1990 was amended to expand and improve opportunities for service, and for other purposes in the Senate of the United States included bipartisan maverick Senator John McCain.

The GIVE Act imposes the potty-trained politics of Barack and Michelle Obama on the timeworn tradition of America being a great nation of volunteers.

The Act puts the finishing touches to Public Allies New Leadership for New times, modeled after Saul Alinsky’s “Peoples Organizations” and operating under Michelle Obama.

According to a Fact Sheet about Public Allies, “President Obama was a member of the founding advisory board of the non-profit organization. Michelle Obama was the founding Executive Director of Public Allies Chicago from Spring, 1993 until fall 1996. She served on Public Allies national board of directors from 1997 until 2002. Obama was no longer on the board when Michelle was hired for the job.

Meanwhile, welcome to the era of 7 million “Obamas” spreading the Saul Alinsky rule book coming soon to a community near you.


Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden

The Voice Magazine

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.

Wild Thing's comment......


God help us and our country.

I don't understand, I just don't get it at all. Why did Republicans vote for this, didn't they read it???? Don't they read things anymore, they just vote? I am speaking about the Republicans that voted for this.

I can’t understand why the modern left lauds Saul Alinsky, he wasn’t original at all and stole the ideas of Lenin, Stalin and Gramsci. But since they can’t claim to be stalinists or have people read Gramsci they point to this phony agent provocateur who would have been dumped by the KGB as an incompetent.


"Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21]. . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws"…..Noah Webster, ‘The History of the United States’

I guess our Mulatto in Chief will make an exception for his Muslim buddies with prayer rooms and foot baths.

You are right, I don't know how any Republicans could vote for this and I don't understand why a lot of Democrats didn't vote against it.

This guy has done more damage to our Republic in a little over 2 months than has been done in over 200 years.

I guess it's time for Americans to dust off their bibles and read up on the Books of Daniel and Revelation.

This is a total infringement on the First Amendment. The whole first Amendment. Why so many republicans voted for it. Because they didn't read it.

So now if you are under 18 you have no Rights. Especially free speech. The Supreme Court already ruled on this, speech issue in the 60's. saying the Constitution did not end at the School yard gate.

But it will have to be challanged again and this takes time. Time is what we don't have.

How many drug dealers will be in charge of these Brigades. Using the kids as bag-boys for their drug business.

How many will actually join, what incentive is in this bill for them. Trying to get a teenager to do anything is a real problem. This should be fun to watch for awhile.

How many College students will have the will to join these Nazi groups and become loyal to Fuehrer Obama.

I will keep my cynical ways, Screw obama. I will not become a foster grand parent, I already have grand children and they already cost me a fortune. I will not volunteer to become some sugar daddy for some ghetto problem child.

Pure communism. This organization should be the wake up call for every red blooded American. This is purely to implant socialism in young minds. The Repubs who voted for this should be deported to Gitmo.

BobA has said it right. America has become a soviet in two months.

Maybe those Mf'ers aren't Republicans, but closet Communists!!!

Hitler's Brown shirts have turned into Obama's Green Shirts.

Of course this is communism. You should read Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." You'll be shocked at how closely Obama's actions follow those outlined in the Communist Takeover of America.

Bob A., this si so true. I really fear for the future and he has only just begun.

"This guy has done more damage to our Republic in a little over 2 months than has been done in over 200 years."

Mark, yes and those things you pointed out
no one has been thinking about that.
Inncocent kids put under the leadership of
a drug dealer, someone they normally would
not even want to know at school.

Like you said too, the fight back on this will
take time. Too long a time.

Posted by: Wild Thing at March 28, 2009 06:10 PM


Tom, this is one of those things when
we share what it is with someone they
are going to think we need a tin foil hat.
It is so hard to believe this could be
planned for our country. We know it is
but it is still so shocking.

Posted by: Wild Thing at March 28, 2009 06:15 PM


Jack,they sure could be. To not even want
to know what their voters want and not to
care they vote the opposite takes a total
commitment to the left agenda that's for
sure.

Posted by: Wild Thing at March 28, 2009 06:18 PM


Hi barenakedislam, good to see you.
yes that is exactly what it is.
I will be curious what the uniforms look
like. I wonder if he will have that awful
circle logo of his on them, instead of our
American flag. To him our flag is only a
prop and nothing more, he is truly evil.
