Congresswoman slams Americorps volunteers; warns of "re-education camps"

In a baffling attack on the nation's community service volunteers, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has described the program as an attack on America's freedoms.

In an interview with Minnesota radio station KTLK-AM, she warned the nation that President Obama is seeking to place young people in "re-education camps" where she fears they will be brainwashed into accepting the "transnational global authority."

She was talking about the national community service program in which volunteers build affordable housing, clean up blighted neighborhoods, support after-school programs, and help communities recover from disasters. That's the work she finds abhorrent "as a parent."
