It makes the evil brown people seem like nice people instead of the drug runners they really are?

If the childrens are being encouraged to volunteer their time, that's teh soshulizm indonktination, and is tantamount to treason. Our youth caring about their community is the greatest threat to our nation, and must be stopped at all cost.

Because soshulism, subby. Because soshulism and libruls.

*pats subby's shoulder*

Paris1127: In a letter, Brewer called the bill is unnecessary, redundant and a violation of Constitutional separation of powers, meaning that the legislative branch of the government cannot tell the executive branch what it can and cannot do.

Um... how is that argument relevant? Also, is that argument even correct?

So, the legislative branch can't tell Obama what he can and cannot do?

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about my argument. But how a bill creating an award for students doing community service is a violation of the separation of powers is beyond me...

I don't know either, but the logical extreme of her argument seems to be that the executive branch could selectively enforce laws, which she has complained about in regards to immigration.

basemetal: Meh, you should do good deeds for the act of doing good deeds, not for reward.

Imagine there's no Heaven.

Again, the governor of Arizona showing that she's a farking idiot.

Good news is that if the legislature tries to overrule the veto, it will pass easily. It received unanimous approval in the State Senate and just shy of 90% approval in the State House. Link, look for "Third Read" for the vote totals

Jan Brewer may have just declared herself Empress of Arizona.

On the bright side, this kid can now put that a bill he helped create was vetoed by America's most racist governor. That's something, right?

Jesus. Kids are given awards for making it through kindergarten but their volunteer time can't be recognized?

As to why, the answer is here

She has one serious hate on for Obama.

desertgeek: Again, the governor of Arizona showing that she's a farking idiot.

And yet she occasional shows rare bits of intelligence. I guess it depends who pulls her strings on any given day.

Every penny spent on awards is a penny that could go to violating the civil rights of legal imigrants in Arapioland. Do you idiots not understand this? I mean, it could cost the total of 3 or 4 pair of pink underwear for his political prisoners that criminal scourge he keeps warning about!

When is this biatch up for election?

ToxicMunkee: Jesus. Kids are given awards for making it through kindergarten but their volunteer time can't be recognized?

And a minimum of 200 hours volunteer time. That's some serious work and any teenager that puts that much time into helping their community deserves a little recognition. Teaching our children to care for their community pays for itself 1000x over; everything from them picking up a piece of trash instead of tossing another piece next to it, to them giving aid to an elderly person that falls on the sidewalk, to spending an afternoon with a local organization to repaint a wall that has gang signs sprayed on it. But hey, Obama likes it, so fark that.

A certificate, a handshake, and a thank you in front of a small public group (at an event that would take place anyway). That's all it takes to put some people into a lifetime of giving back to their community. Anyone who would argue against a program that costs almost nothing, has a huge return over the long run, and improves the living conditions of those that you supposedly work for is a vile and spiteful being.

basemetal: Meh, you should do good deeds for the act of doing good deeds, not for reward.

That's why we repealed the charitable contribution tax deduction eighty years ago, right? Cause we don't reward people who do good deeds just because? Oh, wait, that's right. We have to reward the ludicrously wealthy for doing good deeds, but us peons should settle for getting a warm feeling in our bellies. My mistake.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: Anyone who would argue against a program that costs almost nothing, has a huge return over the long run, and improves the living conditions of those that you supposedly work for is a vile and spiteful being.

Nobody hates their fellow Americans like Republicans do.

Tea Partiers do not want to create community organizers. They have been burned more than once.

As far as I can remember from when I applied for colleges, I was able to list all my volunteer activities without having to document them with awards or certificates to verify them. So I do not see a NEED for giving students an award or official recognition as far as being able to claim it for colleges, jobs, scholarships etc. Times may have changed though, and a piece of paper doesn't cost that much to mass produce, so I don't see this as a bad idea.

One question I have is if the Governor's state still hands out D.A.R.E. certificates? and how does that fit into her argument against recognition of volunteer efforts.

/D.A.R.E - Drugs Are Really Expensive
//that is all I remember from my time in the program

Conservatives really, really hate that whole "thousand points of light" thing that Reagan talked about.
Almost as much as they hate the words of Jesus.

I think the Cryptkeeper's term-limited, so she'll no doubt be grooming an heir apparent who's as bad or worse

Being a republican in this day and age has to be a sign of a mental disorder. This makes no sense. It's either mean-spirited or spiteful. Regardless, it's counter-productive. But such is republican ideology.

You know what would REALLY Teach them something? Being put to work for below minimum wage as high school janitors.

xanadian: Yeah, I second the motion for an [Arizona] tag. I mean, Floridians are just stupid. Zoners .... I donno, man. I don't know what's wrong with the water there...

/maybe it's the lack of water

FYI, they recycle their water.

200 hours volunteer time counts as a credit towards graduation here
