Looks like the Senate rubber stamped Obama's official brown shirts. This is very disturbing.
The “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE act). HR 1388 has just passed the Senate.
In the bill, Obama sets up the mechanics that he passed in the Stimulus Package for his volunteer operations — including setting up a government funded corporation with a Board of Directors and CEO. What is frightening is the tentacles that this will entail as all agencies need to create positions for these volunteers. Yada … yada .. I could go on as how he has tied his FEMA Scheme for the Civilian Security Defense Force into this legislation, but now they’re called “National Volunteer Reserve Corps.” This creates images of the Peace Corps, but it is something far more sinister. In addition, the legislation is targeting foster kids, disadvantaged teens and more specifically BLACK colleges and universities. Reading the provisions, it smacks of a program tailor-made for ACORN. It is a bill that has reverse discrimination all over it as it is NOT designed for middle-class Americans to benefit from — regardless of your race. But this is NOT what has piffed me off.

The GIVE Act has 12 amendments. The one I am outraged over is House Amendment 49. It reads: “H.Amdt49 Pass Amendment to prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing.”
If I read that right, your First Amendment rights of Free Speech just were legislated out the door. ( Kalani in the Atlas comments section here)
I blogged on it when it passed the house here: House Passes Mandatory Service Bill

I have been searching the text of the final Act, and cannot find any reference to a "Civilian Security Defense Force" or House Amendment 49. Could you give some references for these so we can read the legislation for ourselves?
Note that that reference is in the quote. I'm not making any contentions myself.
As far as I know there never was anything in the bill, it was one of the speaking points that obama and his cronies put out during his election. Take a google at it, I didn't find it spoken too in any of the news that I've read on the topic.
