Testimonial of Sgt. John Meaders, Current Serving California Highway Patrol Officer

CHP & Sgt Stripes

What has our country come to where the citizens, whose very job is to protect America, are troubled by thoughts of recrimination when announcing or reaffirming their allegiance to our Constitution?

In the last 34 years, I have taken this most sacred oath twice. If either my current police department or old Army unit has a problem with my commitment to America, they should pack up and leave our great country because I will defend it against all enemies! I pray those who find offense with this post will move aside so freedom will be won without bloodletting. Thanks for standing tall “Oath Keepers” and please feel free to post my name.

“Yes, we must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” – Dr. B. Franklin

I have spoken with dozens of CHP and local Sheriff Deputies that all have said, “we would never be a part of gun confiscation or anything to do with violation of the constitution”. God Bless all the LEO’s and military men.

I am very concerned at the direction this country is heading. I believe I will see war on our soil I want to be on he side of those like my self who took an oath to support and defend the US constitution. How do I connect?
