The following was passed on to me by a friend. I didn't check the veracity of it, but I don't doubt it.

Civil Service Bill H R 1388
This bill would hope to make anyone a state zombie. You're basically barred from your constitutional rights! and would make it illegal to participate in any sort of protest, demonstration and even practice your religion! (see point 7). If you're doing "national service" per the R. Emanuel program, and you tell someone to check out a religion (ANY religion), you could be arrested and prosecuted for "breaking this law".
This bill passed the House - it lays the groundwork for
Rahm Emanual's plan for mandatory civilian (including military components) "civil" service...this was just found in the fine print of the bill:
