You should be glad, it also prohibits abortion advocacy groups from getting AmeriCorps money.
Section 1304 -
Prohibits AmeriCorps participants from engaging in specified political, business, union, and religious activities or displacing employed workers or other volunteers.
Prohibits labor, for-profit, abortion advocacy, and certain political organizations from receiving AmeriCorps funding. Bars the participation of organizations that have been indicted for voter fraud

Easy for you to say.
While some things may seem to make sense to certain
(ahem) people...
I read some of the bill.
I can't help but wonder
If the people really knew
what you lawmakers are really doing up there..
I wonder how far you'd get...
slip it in there,
keep the people too busy to notice...
slide this right in here...
hmmmmm.........
Of the people,
by the people,
for the people?
I will have to look and see
who pays for the abortions again.
I heard bloody Obama
the American Hater
is using American tax dollars to fund
killing babies around the world.
He is also for Euthansia!!
Good luck Baby Boomers!
serve America act
how sweet the sound.
I noticed it did not say what kind of activities would be mandatory.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
That really leaves a lot to be desired.
Sorry B_______
Souled us out!!
Actually I think the only thing that should be allowed on tv is c-span.
that way everyone can have a good dose of the
"Capital Hill Verbage"
(They should cry like I do, I cried so hard for about a yr I couldn't even wear make-up. That's why I couldn't listen anymore)
as pertains to them as human beings and citizens of this country.
The newspapers should consist of the first section;
nothing but the verbage and text's of the house and senate reps.
Who are they reppin'??
That's interesting.
