Screw your bill, your snitch citizens and the $6 billion it cost for volunteers?

How many government controlled things flourish? Before we give this bill great praise, let's see what they do to GM, the economy, and the health care system. I trust NONE of them. In case you haven't notice our country is far left of center as in progressive.
Each day more of our freedoms diminish.
Take a look at H. J. Res. 5. Read it and ponder that one.
I totally agree, but what can we do to stop this insanity? They aren't paying attention to what we want. I think it is time for another
march on Washington. Something to disrupt them and get them to stop and listen to the voters. This is no longer a government by the people, for the people, and of the people. Have you read "Common Sense." It's a must read.
Uhhh, so i've seen no questions about who or what this "Corporation" (and yes it's always capitalized, go read the bill)
i.e. "Carrying out such other activities as the Corporation may prohibit"
Subtitle C of title I (42 U.S.C. 12571 et seq.)
go look it's right there and all over the bill
what is this "Corporation", basically what are they referring to in the bill. If any one knows the respond to this comment and if know one knows then... well that's bad
try this out, I was talking to friends at a college doing the legal research for the Fed Reps... The submittal included this..." I don't know if the data was classified or not, as I was getting it straight from professors and grad students and some lawyers,,," But the words include things like: 1- Can be punishible with fines or community service, failure to comply could include forfeiture of assets no then but not limited to 3000.00USD, and or possible confinement of 30-90 days which will be paid for by the offender, and may include community, or professional service during the extent of confinement.
they had alot more stuff but this part was the one that scared me. Voluntary, yet can be punishible by fines or assets and jail!!! thats not voluntary, it's like the IRS, they say it's voluntary, but if you don't do it, you have the "option" to face penalty.
ladies and gentlemen welcome to 'USSA' when u cross the border u get a free green card and when u graduate high school u geta brown shirt and a prius! lololololololol has anyone ever seen V for Vendetta???
they have no use for the constitution obama thinks it doesn't hold any weight anymore new age thinking N.W.O.
They will not get my vote in next election , if we are all still free to vote !
I like how one of the failed amendments had something to do with Acorn...did anyone else notice that? So ACORN is able to have access to these funds without investigation into their fraud? If they really did nothing wrong, have them open their books and we can move on from it...
It is hard to believe that the Chappaquiddick Kid and drunken bum Kennedy is still around! The sheeple of Massachusetts must be real stupid to keep electing this bum to office.
One more program to blow billions of dollars we do not have. Congress should be focusing on fixing the economy not passing these ridiculous
mult-billion dollar bills we can't afford. But then, when did this congress start listening to us. This is no longer a government by the people, for the people, of the people. It is a government by the government, of the government, for the government. It is time for term limits for everyone. Can't wait for the next election. It should be a blood bath for everyone up for re-election.
they should include all youth in these programs. being 'disadvantaged' or 'advantaged' shouldn't mean anyone is entitled to more or less. young people need to interact with each other in the community without being segregated.
It sounds like they took the fascism out of it. It's not forcing anybody to work, like with the original bill.
