So how much is it costing the taxpayers to have these youtube channels up? I can only imagine, since government only knows how to complicate the most simple things.

I'll trust politicians when they cut their own paychecks by at least half to start paying off our national debt.

I'll trust politicians when they vote for war, and then lead us to it, not send us to our death.

The only thing I believe, out of a politician's mouth is their breath, or is that a lie too?

who has time to volunteer when we are working 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet? oh i see...you want the ppl who are unemployed to work for free? the gov and big business saw to it that they dont have work, so you are trying to find stuff for them to do? how nice of you!

Actually their breath is a lie....

They are empty walking entities with no compassion. Human beings needs air to survive... Their just pretending to be us... they arent human. Their something else.

Watch in a year shit will only turn much more worst and for what they are doing and what they will do they better pray their isnt a God because God wont have any mercy on them.

I dont care how well volunteerism can help our country. Once you make it madatory its not volunteerism, its slavery.

I simply adore how they get away with this. Its so fucking hilarious. They use words like madatory voulnteerism instead of slavery to trick ppl making it sound less of what it really is.

Bravo illuminati.. bravo... . I mean cmon you literally commit crimes in front of the worlds face and get away with it.

congress and senate my apologies

[eaturbrainsonastick]

Senator Blanche what you should be talking about is what you think are the most effective ways people can volunteer to help their community, and the rest of humanity, and the world. Please don't ruin the great idea of congress on youtube by making it your way to try to convice 400 more people to vote or you.

[eaturbrainsonastick]

volunteerism is a great idea. Honestly though your delivery is poor. I didn't think this channel was set up solely to make you look good. We are trying to help our country not listen to your campaign speech. If you think talking about how awesome you are because of volunteering has convinced any of the 400 people who actually watch this to go out and volunteer then you are too naive to be in politics.

"yes we can" impeach this new president..."yes we can" shut the senate up from making them make us have mandatory youth service (a.k.a slavery)..."yes we can" protest in front of the Senate and HOR and tell them they are a disgrace to the American people!
