I will not allow American Citizens basic rights to be taken away

ArmyLogo

I took my first oath during the 70’s when I enlisted into the US ARMY. I stand by the ten orders not to obey of the Oathkeepers.

Any order that goes against the Constitution of the USA is invalid and should be ignored by any American peacekeeper, soldier, and citizen.

I am ready to obey my oath as it has no expiration date, but I will not allow American Citizens basic rights to be taken away.

Thank you Kurt, and all the others that take a stand. As a former Police Officer and Soldier I too say, Leave our Constitution alone!
Whatever it takes…failure is not an option.

Dear Oath Keepers,

Thank you for the assurance that many of you will stand for the US Constitution. There are millions that are not aware that you are taking this stand. I consider myself a part of the US Constituional Militia according to the 2nd amendment. Mine and many other USCM have grave concerns for our country, families, constitution and freedoms. We have been continually marginalized by themedia, and organizations such as the SPLC.

We need your leadership, we know that there are many LEOs that will follow the anti-constituional orders and this is concerning in light of socio-economic conditions, chatter concerning martial law for forced vaccinations, etc. You have a large contingency of americans that will stand beside you in time of not just a national emergency but a constituional emergency which may place you in harms way without knowing that you have the support and admiration of the USCM.

How do we know who to trust, who will lead us, who will sound the alarm for us to stand by your side?

We are the complete opposite of the medias protrayal, and will stand for anyone rights and freedom, regardless of race, creed, sex, age, religion….

We want to stand guard along side of you, not wondering who to turn to when we recognize the tyranny that is about to over take this country.
