H.R. 1388

The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act
A bill entitled "The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, an Act to reauthorize and reform the national service laws."current 111st session

Summary of H.R 1388:

The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (formally the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act) authorizes a dramatic funding increase for AmeriCorps and other volunteer programs, and the creation of new programs for seniors and veterans. It establishes a goal of expanding from 75,000 government-supported volunteers to 250,000, and would increase education funding and establish a summer volunteer program for students, paying $500 (which would be applied to college costs) to high-school and middle-school student who participate.
President Barack Obama signed the legislation on April 21, 2009. While it authorizes $5.7 billion over six years, Congress must still approve the funding as part of the budget.

OK my problem with this is your paying volunteers? wait people volunteers are volunteers not earning a living.

Obama and His Czar's



Obama now has 18+ Czar's is that a big deal?

The definition of the word Czar: Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official.

Does that scare you, It Should! I thought this was the United States and we are represented by our elected officials? To be fair Czar's have been around since President Nixon and actually during FDR's regime they were called Dictator's because they do not report to anyone other than the president. this only reporting to the President is a power grab by the excutive branch that should be curbed by Congress or the Supreme Court.

Hitler was elected by the people but there were no effective checks on his power and he went on to become the most evil dictator in the 20Th Century. Our Supreme Court and Congress need to equalize their power with the President to restrict future power grabs by our Presidents and they better do it soon. Failure to do so will result in people like me having to go underground in order to use my 1st amendments right of free speech. Also failure to do so will lead to the United State's being lead into government control of industry, with pay controls and for the first time in the history of this country companies will flee this oppressive regime. this has already started with the union takeover of the auto industries GM and Chrysler the unions special interests were put ahead of the secured bondholders at the urging of the Obama administration. Who would invest in Bond in United States corporations anymore?

Wake up people, Wake up congress, Wake up Supreme Court! More is coming this is only the beginning! Remember the unions in Mexico were given supreme powers and look at the conditions of that country!
