Oath Keepers

What is Oath Keepers:


Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, veterans, Peace Officers, and Fire Fighters who will fulfill the Oath we swore, with the support of like minded citizens who take an Oath to stand with us, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our Oath is to the Constitution


What does that mean?


1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.


2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.


3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.


4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.


5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.


6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.


7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.


8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."


9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.


10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.


Who founded this group?


Stewart Rhodes



Stewart is the founder and Director of Oath Keepers. He served as a U.S. Army paratrooper until disabled in a rough terrain parachuting accident during a night jump.


He is a former firearms instructor and former member of Rep. Ron Paul’s DC staff.


Stewart currently writes the monthly Enemy at the Gates column for S.W.A.T. Magazine


Stewart graduated from Yale Law School in 2004, where his paper “Solving the Puzzle of Enemy Combatant Status” won Yale’s Miller prize for best paper on the Bill of Rights. He assisted teaching U.S. military history at Yale, was a Yale Research Scholar, and is writing a book on the dangers of applying the laws of war to the American people.


=========================


I just found about this group. This isn't about right or left, Democrat or Republican, it's about protecting our constitution.


Right now about 3% of our military belongs to this group and it's numbers are growing fast. I am not a member, but will join as an associate if funds permit. (Things are tight for me right now)


The reason I am posting this is because I now feel like our situation is not hopeless. We now have a core group of military and law enforcement who WILL NOT be following orders to round up an exterminate or otherwise take action against their fellow Americans. This is important. We know some of what was going on under Bush 43 and we know Obama is continuing much of this stuff. The FEMA camps were set up by Reagan back in 1984, but for the non-nefarious purposes for which they are now envisioned.


Oath Keepers gives us an important and powerful ally in defense of the constitution and our liberties.


Please Digg and Reddit this and pass this post along to anyone you think may still care about our country. The good guys may finally be getting a foothold against the evil elite who are planning our demise.
