Update: 3/27/09: Go here for details on the new legislation, HR1444.
IT’S BAAACK!! The Truth About HR1388, Serve America Act and The Obama Youth Army
********
(Update #5: 3-24-09 Evening: go HERE! for more recent post.)
(Update #4: 3-24-09 7:19pm est.: I cannot find any mention anywhere that this was actually voted on today. I will keep looking.)
(Update #3: 3-24-09: It appears that this bill is being bundled with S277 Serve America Act which is going to be voted on today. They are going through an awful lot of trouble to hide this bill and you would not believe who has been showing up to see how much we know about what is happening with it — hint, hint, the US Senate, besides others. All of my loyal readers can send a wave out to Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. Welcome, and I will add you to the list.)
Please go check the Constitution Page at the top of this blog:
13th Amendment:
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
(Update #2: 3-24-09: The Senate will reconvene at 2:15pm eastern for this bill. It will be shown on C-Span 2.)
(Update: 3-24-09: There is no mention of the vote on this bill. I have been looking since yesterday afternoon. As soon as I find information pertaining to it’s passage or defeat, I will post it here.)
This morning I received an email from a Facebook group that I became part of yesterday, Stop HR1388!! informing me that the Senate has a different name for HR1388 and is flying it under the radar to be voted on today. What is interesting is that Tyrant Harry Reid, (and I am going to start calling all of them tyrants* because they are acting like tyrants), has asked and been granted cloture. For those of you that are wondering EXACTLY what that means, here’s the definition from the Legal Dictionary:
Cloture is a means of terminating a filibuster, which is a prolonged speech on the floor of the Senate designed to forestall legislative action.

I personally do not think calling our Senators is going to do any good. They have the bit in their teeth and they are running with it. This is just more evidence that the Democrats have “run wild” and are trying to slam through as much liberal leftist crap as they can before Bambi’s time runs out. (see Forgery)
For those of you that want to call the Senate and give them a piece of your mind, the switchboard number is 202-224-3121.
Any of my loyal readers want to do some digging and find out who started this group? City Year.org This would be very inspiring if we had not experienced the Hitler Youth Years.
*72% of the American Public was against the Stimulus Bill and they passed it. 99 out of 100 Americans were against Tarp and they passed it.
