What the OATH KEEPERS means to me
Our officials are entitled to our support only to the extent that they are acting within the bounds of power set forth in our Constitution, and then only if they have been duly elected in accordance with the rules set forth in our Constitution.
Can a non-citizen act as our President? Can the federal government tell the states how to educate their citizens? Can we have currency that is not backed by gold without amending the Constitution to allow that? Can a President send our troops into battle without a declaration of war by Congress? Can the federal government tell the states what they can or cannot legislate regarding religion in their jurisdiction based on the First Amendment which specifically states that it is only the US Congress that is prohibited from passing a law establishing a religion of any kind? Can the federal government in any way abridge the rights of US citizens to bear arms when that right is clearly given in the Second Amendment?
Of course not, but don’t tell that to our Congress Critters, who now totally ignore the Constitution of the United States as they steer us into an Orwellian, Big Brother nightmare. Many of the major acts of Congress under the past three(3) Presidential Administrations have not only been substantially lacking in Constitutional authority, but some are totally outside the purview of the Constitutional power granted to the federal government altogether.
And remember, any powers not granted specifically to the federal government are reserved to the states pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, so any vague references to things like “general welfare” when espousing Constitutional authority would make the Tenth Amendment a nullity, which was obviously never intended. The same can be said about the use of treaties to do an end run around our Constitution. This also was obviously never intended.
Can our Congress submit us to a despotic world government by treaty, thus taking away the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution, or submit us to draconian international laws that would transgress the liberties we enjoy pursuant to our Bill of Rights? Absolutely not. This would be a complete abrogation of the very principles upon which this nation was founded, and any such treaty would be void and unenforceable and could be ignored by US citizens who would have every right to do so.
For our President, with two thirds of our Senators, to do such a thing would be tantamount to high treason and would be an impeachable offense, worthy of the gallows. Did our Founding Fathers intend to allow a President and 67 Senators to sell out the liberties of over 300 million people to a despotic international cabal of Satanists? We hardly think so. Heaven forbid.
We might also ask, how can you submit to any authorities who are not acting in the best interests of the people, but who are instead beholden to a shadow government oligarchy that determines who gets elected to any high offices by bribes, threats, media control and campaign contributions and that controls both political parties in an election system that is a rigged farce with one Illuminist agenda spread over the Dumbo and Jackass party platforms. That is a virtual dictatorship, and violates the entire spirit of the Constitution, in addition to being treasonous.
Rome was very corrupt as well, but Caesar had absolute authority, which is not the case here. God saw to it that our Founding Fathers set up the United States government so that the people have absolute authority, with the President and Congress being little more than our governors. This is the exact opposite of the Roman system of government.
When our President and Congress are beholden to a shadow government and ignore the will and best interests of the people, they operate outside their God-given authority which has been delegated to them by “We the People,” the supreme authority, via both the Declaration of Independence (which states the rights and principles on which this nation was founded) and the United States Constitution (which states how those rights and principles will be both protected and effectuated by our central government for all posterity).
This need to be discussed openly
I love my country but no longer fear my government
the Patriot Act should be repealed
Please donate and support Oath Keepers mission, every little bit helps!

It is discussed openly. Oath Keepers does not exist in a bubble. We are very aware of what is going on. Hell, that awareness is what prompted the creation of Oath Keepers back when Bush was violating his Oath by refusing to secure our borders, signing the Patriot Act and the first TARP bailout.
Discussion is one thing, but be careful that the discussion does not call for activities counter to the very limited mission of Oath Keepers. Reach, Teach and Inspire those who are sworn to the Constitution, education on the Oath and Constitution and refusal to obey unlawful, unconstitutional orders.
Calls for activism and airing out conspiracy theories are not appropriate for our mission. There are better places for such things.

“Reach, Teach and Inspire those who are sworn to the Constitution, education on the Oath and Constitution and refusal to obey unlawful, unconstitutional orders.”
In my opinion the above statement sums up the mission of OK.
I also agree that there are “many” other issues that are of the utmost concern to many Americans and that are having serious and extremely detrimental impacts on our country which OK should not be a forum for: the complete gutting of American manufacturing via the offshoring of manufacturing operations by corporate America and the purchase of foreign goods by the American people with the consequence of transferring vast amounts of American wealth and control to foreign entities, the insourcing of labor via illegal and legal immigration and H-1B visas, the outsourcing of American labor, the Republic destroying wars in the Middle East and Central Asia, the control of the mainstream media by corporate interests, the merging of the congressional and executive branches of government, the misplaced “final” authority of Constitutional interpretation with the Supreme Court, the overall intrusiveness of the federal government into all areas of American life, the globalist world view that has become the thinking of many Americans, questions regarding 911, the coming(?) war with Iran, ad infinitum. I would encourage all OK to inform themselves on these subjects and others by spending some time on the internet to locate websites that focus on these subjects.
Best regards to all OK.

P.S.to post no. 2:
(And constantly encourage all Americans to study and know the US Constitution, and its importance to their liberty. They are “the” pool for coming oath takers and oath keepers.)
