Charlie Rangel's Bill, H.R. 5741, To Implement Mandatory Military AND CIVILIAN Service For ALL Americans Ages 18 to 42

For those that have not viewed the current bill introduced by Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), H.R. 5741, I have excerpted a portion of the bill below.

You can view the entire bill here.

Now, if this doesn't scare the ever living shit out of every American, I don't know what will. We have to remember that Rangel has been on a "draft" kick for several years and considering his tenuous position in Congress right now, apparently he has decided to fly his flaming plane into the Statue of Liberty in a final act of a kamikaze.

This bill is in sub-committee right now people! They are considering this bill! Get on the phone, get on your email, go to your Congressman's office and rally against this.

Now, I want to address something in this bill....consider this line from the bill:

The term `national service' means military service or service in a civilian capacity that, as determined by the President, promotes the national defense, including national or community service and service related to homeland security.

See that? Is this the "National Security Force" than Obama threatened us with back in the days of the Presidential campaign? I have not read this whole bill but I'm hoping that some of my readers will and can join in the discussions here - I am beginning to wonder if Barack Hussein Obama actually picked a Congressman who had nothing to lose to author this bill. But nonetheless, if you are a parent of a child who will turn 18 - consider the fact that your child may be relegated to two years of mandatory service and that service may just well be policing fellow American citizens.

Read this bill. Be prepared. A shot has been fired across the Country's bow.
