Default H.r. 1388 - g.i.v.e
Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act

Passed by the House, heading to the Senate.

Quote:
Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act or the GIVE Act - Amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NSCA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA) to revise the programs under such Acts and reauthorize appropriations for such programs through FY2014.
Revises under NSCA: (1) the School-Based and Community-Based Service-Learning programs and Higher Education Innovative Programs for Community Service (Learn and Serve programs); (2) National Service Trust programs (AmeriCorps); (3) the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC); and (4) the Investment for Quality and Innovation program.
Eliminates the current Community-Based Learn and Serve programs.
Establishes two new Learn and Serve programs: (1) Campuses of Service, which provides funds to institutions of higher education to develop or disseminate exemplary service-learning programs that assist their students' pursuit of public service careers; and (2) Innovative Service-Learning Programs and Research, which funds community service-learning opportunities for elementary and secondary, college, and graduate students as well as research into service-learning.
Includes among eligible AmeriCorps programs: (1) an Education Corps to address unmet educational needs; (2) a Healthy Futures Corps to address unmet health needs; (3) a Clean Energy Corps to address unmet environmental needs; and (4) a Veterans Corps to address the unmet needs of veterans and their families.
Creates AmeriCorps Opportunity Corps programs that include certain existing programs and new programs to: (1) increase community access to technology; (2) engage citizens in public safety, health, and emergency preparedness services; (3) mentor youth; (4) reduce recidivism by re-engaging court-involved youth; and (5) support the needs of veterans or active duty service members and their families.
Establishes an Education Awards Only program authorizing the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) to provide fixed-amount grants to programs that have approved national service positions, but no AmeriCorps funding.
Sets the National Service educational awards for full-time AmeriCorps, NCCC, and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) participants at a level equal to the maximum available Pell Grant available to students under the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Includes among needs to be met under the NCCC program, disaster relief, infrastructure improvement, environmental and energy conservation, and urban and rural development.
Requires states to develop comprehensive plans for volunteer and paid service by Baby Boomers and older adults.
Directs the Corporation to plan pilot programs to: (1) better target and serve displaced workers; and (2) establish a centralized electronic citizenship verification system which would allow the Corporation to share employment eligibility information with the Department of Education.
Authorizes the Corporation to treat September 11th annually as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Establishes within the Investment for Quality and Innovation program: (1) a ServeAmerica Fellowships program providing fellowships to individuals chosen by states to participate in service projects addressing certain areas of national need; (2) a Silver Scholarship Grant Program providing scholarships to individuals age 55 or older who complete at least 500 hours of service in a year in an area of national need; and (3) an Encore Fellowships program providing one-year fellowships to individuals age 55 or older who serve in areas of national need and receive training to transition to public service employment. Makes ServeAmerica fellows eligible for national service educational awards.
Authorizes the Corporation to provide grants to innovative and model service programs, including those for disadvantaged youth, youth under age 17, and potential recidivists.
Eliminates federal funding for the Points of Light Foundation.
Revises under DVSA: (1) the VISTA program; and (2) the Senior Corps, including the Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP), the Foster Grandparent program, and the Senior Companion program.
Gives priority in VISTA participant selection to disadvantaged youth and retired adults of any profession.
Authorizes new VISTA grant programs of national significance that provide poor and rural communities with: (1) services reintegrating formerly incarcerated individuals into society; (2) financial literacy and planning; (3) before-school and after-school services; (4) community economic development initiatives; (5) assistance to veterans and their families; and (6) health and wellness services. Eliminates the VISTA Literacy Corps, University Year for VISTA, and Literacy Challenge Grant programs.
Raises the minimum and maximum stipend provided to VISTA participants.
Prioritizes RSVP projects in specified areas.
Makes anyone 55 years of age or older eligible as Senior Corps volunteers.
Provides, under the Senior Corps demonstration program, incentive matching grants to Senior Corps programs that exceed specified performance measures, enroll most of their volunteers in outcome-based service programs, and increase their enrollment of Baby Boomer volunteers.
Expresses the sense of the Congress that the number of AmeriCorps, VISTA, and NCCC participants should reach 250,000 by 2014.
Congressional Commission on Civic Service Act - Establishes a Congressional Commission on Civic Service to provide recommendations to Congress on improving opportunities for individuals to volunteer or perform national service.

Okay I haven't read through this yet, but apparently this bad boy forces young people from 16-24? to serve the country and attend "learn and serve" programs, and military training from the ages of 18-24. So it's like a massive draft? For national service?

Not sure if this is mandatory, I've heard that it will be. But it's probably one of those things that isn't explained properly. I'll read as much as I can when I have time... this shit is massive and complex as always.

Yeah it's like a bunch of teens running around looking for bad guys while they think they're all powerful because they're part of the government. You know when police get those power trips? Image a teen.

Not a good situation if they are armed.

Ever read 1984? The Kids that lived a couple doors down from the main character. Little brats ended up turning in their own father for thought crimes. (All he did I think was tell them no) Gonna turn the kids into Government tools to control the parents. And the kids will be so proud they helped the country.

But I didn't see it being manditory I got no bitch (except spending money ofcourse) unless it is manditory or say you can't graduate high school without it.

If they make it mandatory, most will probably refuse. If they try to force it... they'll have to talk to our guns.

I don't like the age range of this. Under 18 is too young for national service. Give them time to grow first...
Also I think this is just an excuse to sign people up for military. They'll have millions ready to go overseas if necessary.

Will not bet on Obama being dictator. Many thought Bush would be. He certainly set things up for himself. The apperatus is in place all there needs now is just the right catalist to propel us into Dictatorship. One neat little "event." I'm thinking it will be "Right wing wackos" Thats the Lefts ususal patsy.

As far as Chips go yeah right I'll believe it when I see it.
This will be for demestic security these will be trained demestic informents. Hope they arn't but I bet they will be like the Guardian Angels in Chicago.
Shooting Obama would only leave use with a pissed of Joe Biden fuck that hes worse then Obama. Same reason nobody off'ed Bush, President Chenny Anyone??
Best thing to do now understand Debt and our relation to the Federal Reserve. This system can't stand people are waking up more then I ever thought they would Freedom May still yet breath in this country lets see if People still want it.
Personally, I don't think the Majority do. I think they want their Momma's. They want to be told what to do and when they fall down they want Momma to kiss it better. Government isn't your momma and doesn't give a shit about you. Only what you can do for it.

Now I got no bitch if its some scheme to help people pay for collage thats fine (I guess). But I'll be damned if your gonna tell me I gotta do this shit to pass high school thats BS.

All I want is for them to leave people alone Let me smoke a bowl, Let me keep my guns (some of my guns where my grandfathers, Hands the fuck off) Don't regulate the internet, and stop debasing the money. Thats all, Just leave me alone.

But the politicians want your mind to belong to them...

How could you be so selfish and not let them steal it?

ROFLMAO

Actually, I'm probably a prime "candidate" for a "Good Citizen" camp. I'm too outspoken, think that the only time I should do what I'm told is when it's me that's telling me what I should be doing, and have a hatred for the government.

Of course that might have something to do with the fact that they have stolen 33% +- .5% of my income for the last 2 years in a row, which amounts to a shit load of money.

Though I'm not going to go and bear arms against the government, or go batshit crazy and start blowing shit up. I have too much to lose for that to be worth the effort.
