Last week, Congress passed the
Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which expands AmeriCorps and increases
volunteer opportunities at home and abroad. Appearing on Minnesota’s KTLK talk radio, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) claimed that it could lead to
“re-education camps for young people“:
"I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically-correct forums."

I don't like this mandatory service deal either. and Rep. Bachmann continues to make sense and make waves.
