YMCA is a great organization, right ? I belonged when I was a kid, what better place to go after school or on the weekends to the gym or pick up games of softball at the local field. The initial purpose of the YMCA was to unite all young, male Christians for the extension and expansion of the Kingdom of God. (You certainly can't find that statement anywhere on a US YMCA website.) These principals also helped found the Boy Scouts of America. (who are still fighting the government about what this PRIVATE entity can do)
 Anyways the YMCA is starting up a program nationwide called "Activate America" although unless you have a child in school you probably would never hear of it. The paper sent home from school says:  and I quote. The YMCA is redefining itself and engaging communities across the country to better support people of all ages that are struggling to achieve and maintain well-being of spirit, mind and body or in other words "health seekers" end quote. WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN ? I started to research the funding for Activate America and found it is being funded by the Center for Disease Control, HUH ? This must be in conjunction with Michell Obama's Childhood Obesity Initiative but it's never stated anywhere. How many Million's/Billion's is this "social pork" costing the American taxpayer ? Now I'm sure its well meaning as it tries to help today's youth stay in shape, eat healthier etc.. but is this the Governments roll ? Last time I looked their job was to protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic.
