    Three pieces of legislation to watch (mandatory service)

    H.R. 1444 Civic Service Act
    http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/sh ... _1444.html
    Specifies topics to be addressed by the Commission, including deterrents to service, a mandatory service requirement, and the need for a public service academy.
    s. 277 - Serve America Act
    http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-277

    HR 1388 - The Give Act
    *the language regarding the mandatory service was removed from this bill and replaced in HR 1444
    http://edlabor.house.gov/blog/2009/03/n ... nati.shtml (this link is not to the bill - but read the final comment for lots of info)

    It's getting scary.

    And evidently Sen. Reid will be calling the Senate into special session this weekend if he did not get a final (read "affirmative") vote on H.R. 1388 (the GIVE/SERVE act), which will greatly expand Americorps and lay the groundwork for mandatory nat'l service Friday, Mar. 27. See:

    Correction: The Senate passed H.R. 1388 by a vote of 79-19 March 23, 2009. Please see the link above for the Roll Call Vote. A large number of so-called "conservative Republicans" voted for it. My Sen. Hutchison, whose Dallas office aide told me she opposed the bill, was one.

    Thanks, I didn't see that thread. I'm surprised Glen Beck hasn't brought this up.
