Does this sound like one of those bills that congress does, you know, Recognizes and names buildings after themselves, stuff like that?? IT IS NOT! This is the Bill that will start Obamas Volunteer Army! You know the one that will be bigger and better armed than our Troops. This Bill passed with 280 yeas and 128 Nays. The Dems only needed 272 to win and with 43 Republicans voting for it - that cinched it for them!

Tennessees Vote was broken down this way - I will ask this question again, Does Zack Wamp even show up in Washington any more. We could have used more NAYS and it would be nice if these MIS-Respresentatives would try and at least convince other Republicans to Vote NO! Bart Gordon did not bother to show up either! Guess he got a pass since they had the votes.

I heard this AMERICORP had 1.4 BILLION Dollars "proposed" in the Budget, so I looked at the Budget and Guess what I found. We (you me and obama) have a CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE..

This is the Funding Highlights:

Funding Highlights:

• Makes a substantial investment in national service, setting the program on a path for expansion to 250,000 slots.

• Creates a new Social Innovation Fund to invest in and scale up innovative non-profits and solutions to address the Nation’s most pressing social problems.

• Engages more retiring Americans in service, harnessing their skills and knowledge.

• Expands service-learning in the Nation’s schools, helping students become contributing citizens and community members through service.

Now I don't know about YOU, but I thought Community Service and Volunteering were you know FREE! This is a scam People and you better wake up and make sure that this does not PASS the Senate, unless they have some sort of rule on this one so it does not have to!!

Here is just a Bit from the Budget

Expands National Service. The President’s

Budget makes a substantial investment in National Service, giving more individuals the opportunity to make an intensive commitment to giving back to their communities. The Budget would set AmeriCorps on a path to expand from its current 75,000 funded slots to 250,000, and would ensure the availability of service opportunities to achieve demonstrable results. The Budget would also increase the amount of the Eli Segal Education Award, which has not been adjusted since the program’s inception in 1993.

Creates a New Social innovation fund.

Innovators often come up with great ideas for addressing critical national challenges, but too often lack the capital to develop, evaluate, and scale up successful ideas. The Budget would create a new social innovation fund, charged with testing promising new approaches to major challenges, leveraging private and foundation capital to meet these needs, and scaling up research proven programs.

If this does not sound like something you want to pay for ~ Make those calls Call talk Radio, make NOISE! STAND UP!
