Sheriff Richard Mack will be teaching a class on the duties and powers of the county sheriff. Also speaking will be David Gillie and retired police Captain Chauncey Normandin (he will give a speech in Inverness, Florida on the 4th and then fly up to MT that night), along with me, Stewart Rhodes and our man in Montana, Elias. Together, we will teach classes on how to set up local Oath Keepers chapters in every county and how to conduct outreach to military and police. Montana will serve as a test model for our ultimate goal of chapters in every state and county level associations in each county, until we have every county in America with a strong oath keeper presence.

Eureka, Montana July 4, 2009 – Live appearance/lecture by Sheriff Richard Mack. This is Sheriff Mack’s own event, but he will be conducting an oath ceremony as part of his presentation on the responsibilities and powers of a county sheriff. Go here for more details: http://www.sheriffmack.com/docs/2009-07-04%20MACKflyer.pdf
Sheriff Mack will then be traveling to the Bozeman/Three Forks area to join us the next day, July 5, for our Oath Keepers meeting at the Sacajawea Hotel. You may recall that Sheriff Mack was a special Oath Keepers guest speaker at the April 19, 2009 Lexington Green rally with Committees of Safety.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Let any July 4 Tea Party organizer know that we can set them up with a written Oath Keepers speech and oath ceremony that any veteran or police officer can read at their event – it does not have to be an official Oath Keepers representative. And the oath is designed to be for average citizens too, not just for military, police and veterans. For example, at the Knoxville Tea Party, we had 3,000 people stand and take the oath.
I was so glad that a friend introduced me to Oath Keepers. I have held steadfastly to oaths for years.I am a VietNam veteran and am still proud of our veterans and what we accomplished in Viet Nam. I hope all of our combat vets and non combat vets are willing to reaffirm the beliefs that we grew up with and upheld while on active duty. I want to say welcome home and thank you to all of our new combat veterans. Please do not let these individuals come home to any hostilities. Stick out a hand and just say thank you. Two years ago on veterans day, a fellow thanked me for my service, I cried! I was last in the war zone in 1973! That was the only time I have been thanked for my service. My own family were reluctant to comment on our service men and women. Thank You All, You Are the BEST!
