"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army"- Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island
Such a time is near at hand again. The fate of unborn millions will now depend,
under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this Army - and This Marine Corps, This Air Force, This Navy and National Guard units of these sovereign states. Declaration of Orders We Will NOT Obey the Republic, of the principles in our Declaration of Independence, and of the rights of our people, we affirm and declare the following:
—And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, we mutually affirm our oath and pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. Oath Keepers The above list is not exhaustive but we do consider them to be clear tripwires – they form our ">line in the sand," and if we receive such orders, we will not obey them. Further, we will know that the time for another American Revolution is nigh. If such a revolution comes, at that time, not only will we NOT fire upon our fellow Americans who righteously resist such egregious violations of their God given rights, we will join them in fighting against those who dare attempt to enslave them. NOTE: please also read our Principles of Our Republic We Are Sworn to Defend More About Oath Keepers Oath Keepers is a non partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill our oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and not to any political party. In the long-standing tradition of the U.S. military, we are apolitical. We don’t care if unlawful orders come from a Democrat or a Republican, or if the violation is bi-partisan. We will not obey unconstitutional (and thus unlawful) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law. We won’t "just follow orders." Our motto: "Not on Our Watch!" or to put it even more succinctly, in the words of , "NUTS!" There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But many others do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution and to the people, and understand what that means. The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers. We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops. Help us win it. www.OathKeepers.org A very short excerpt from a recent post by Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers (on his personal Blog: http://stewart-rhodes.blogspot.com/2009/02/democratic-senator-byrd) "The claims of independent executive power by the Bush Administration were absurd - amounting to nothing less than the claim that the President, once elected, under his constitutional Article II powers, is absolutely unrestrained and unhindered by any other branch of government, any provision in the main body of the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Basically, the argument was that the President is an elected dictator. Remember what James Madison warned: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ...
may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." - James Madison, Federalist No. 47
