13th Amendment Issue - Mandatory Volunteerism


13th Amendment Issue - Mandatory Volunteerism

"Mandatory national service, which would require young people to do government-mandated work...is pretty clearly involuntary servitude under any reasonable definition of the word,"
 
—Ilya Somin, Assistant Professor at George Mason University School of Law
     Somin on Mandatory National Service 01/23/2009

"Charities and nonprofits ....across the country provide needed services to Americans in a way that government never could. The Democrat-led Conference Committee made a mistake in striking my common sense, bipartisan amendment. ...People do not donate to charities for a tax break, but reducing the deduction will certainly decrease the amount of money available to the charities, nonprofits, and religious organizations that are doing such great work in the face of economic hardship. The Democrat leadership in Congress has prepared a budget that clearly sends the wrong message to those who serve individuals in need, and to those who rely on charitable giving."
 
—John Thune,  U.S. Senator  [R, SD]

"Senator John Thune applauded today's 94 to 3 vote on his amendment to the Democrat budget that would protect the full federal income tax deduction for charitable giving. President Obama's budget framework had proposed reducing the deduction, which would result in less charitable giving nationwide."

"The Declaration... lists 'liberty' as an unalienable right conferred by 'the Creator'...the president and the Congress need to be reminded that the 13th Amendment to the Constitution declares: 'Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude … shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.'"
