I regret voting Obama because he violated the 13th Amendment, a very important one. He introduced HR1388 (GIVE Act) which basically legalized slavery to the government, "compulsory volunteer corps". Not many people seem to have heard about this. All the severe violations of the Constitution seem to go unnoticed. Basically, it states that certain age groups are required to perform a certain amount of hours of MANDITORY VOLUNTEER work (WTF is Manditory Volunteer??). For example, high school kids will be required to do like 100 hours of compulsory volunteer work for a year. College aged people will be required to do like 500 hours and they even have one for senior citizens (elderly people forced into labor???).
I believe the 13th Amendment states "Neither Slavery nor INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE except as punishment wherein a person has been duly convicted of a crime shall exist within the United States of America."
This law, proposed and introduced and written by Obama and his Administration will cause much disruption and damage to the country, especially when the protests turn to riots and police start dying (already happening). The majority of people are not going to allow the government to force them into labor, especially when they already have school, jobs and lives to deal with. This country is going to fall apart if rights keep being taken away and Obama is NOT helping the situation.
I'm also keeping my eye on the ACTA law which gives law enforcement the right to search personal electronic devices without warrants at any given moment and confiscate them if anything illegal (music, movies, games) is found on them.
