OBAMA ADMIN + DEMOCRAT CONGRESS = FASCIST POLICIES
What's remarkable is that you or any American would attempt to defend these unprincipled power grabs.
Those who position themselves in favor of unconstitutional, rights usurping legislation and policies, in my eyes belie a politics not beneficial to the country as a whole, but rather do so for personal gratification and gain. Bush did it to compensate for his incompetence as a commander, Obama's doing it to consolidate Party strength. Both are detestable. And I can earnestly declare that, because in MY AMERICA, any removal of rights is an attack on MY COUNTRY.
Whoa!
Are you sure about this T-man? If this is true, wouldn't #7 on that list mean that a person won't be allowed to attend church while a member of the organization?
Paul Watson and Alex Jones have a lot of good information, but they are prone to hyperbole and misconstruing information. You have to be careful with them.
The original National and Community Service Act of 1990 had provisions excluding participation of "corporations" who participate in political or religious activities, but not "participants"...see Section 132 in the original act linked below...
http://www.csc.ca.gov/aboutus/documents/ncsa1990.pdf
...the House version, submitted on March 18, 2009, with only one hour of debate allowed by Speaker Pelosi, was submitted by none other than RINO traitor Rep. Virginia Foxx R-NC, and subsequently read into the Congressional Record by with the following changes to Section 125...

‘‘SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATIONS.
‘‘(a) PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.—A participant

unless Corporation assistance is not used to
support those religious activities.
‘‘(9) Conducting a voter registration drive

‘‘(10) Such other activities as the Corporation
may prohibit.
Furthermore, to exacerbate this vile hijacking of Constitutional Rights...RINO Foxx lied about this section being a "recommit" of existing code chaptered by the National and Community Service Act...(this is also included on page H3605 linked above)...
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, this motion
to recommit codifies current regulations
with regard to activities and
organizations ineligible for grants from
the Corporation for National and Community
Service and AmeriCorps volunteers.
The activities include lobbying, protesting,
union organizing, engaging in
partisan political activities or religious
instruction, conducting voter
registration, or providing direct benefits
to for-profit businesses, labor
unions or political parties.
Here's the original text from Section 125, National and Community Service Act...(again, linked at the beginning of this post...)
SEC. 125. [42 U.S.C. 12575] Training and technical assistance

Please, anyone...double check these links to verify...
Either the online data is incorrect, or it seems to me some shenanigans are occurring with this bill...
