HR 1388, "THE GIVE ACT" is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

[Sharon Rondeau]

This bill was passed by the House yesterday, but our loyal servants in Washington don't seem to realize that it is unconstitutional. I just called my congressman and told his aide that the language regarding "exploring mandatory service" completely contradicts the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I then read the amendment to him to enlighten him:

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

2. Congress shall have power to enfoce this article by appropriate legislation."

That says ENFORCE, not CHANGE!!

Call your congressman's office today and let them know that we know. I also said that it smacks of brownshirts and totalitarianism.
