Sheriff Mark Gower, Minute Man, Constitutional Guardian

Profiled on OathKeepers.org, Western States Sheriffs Association member Sheriff Mark Gower is a Minute Man in the true sense of the word. A guardian of American's Constitutional Rights, he calls the Federal Government to account for it's encroachments on Liberty.

Oath Keeper Terry Flink shares his thoughts and experiences with Sheriff Gower. The complete article can be found on www.oathkeepers.org:

I posted the following thread on the forum http://www.oathkeepers.net/forum/showthread.php?p=59728#post59728

First, let me give a little background. Sheriff Gower is a humble man who has quietly protected the rights of the citizens of Iron County since 2003. I first met Sheriff Mark Gower at the Oath Keepers conference in Las Vegas in 2009. He spoke about the challenges he was experiencing as a County Sheriff in southern Utah with the overreach of the federal government into his jurisdiction. Specifically the issue was a battle over an endangered prairie dog and private property rights. He came to the conference to share his experiences and he found a group of very supportive and encouraging citizens that would stand with him.

The second time I met Sheriff Gower was at the Freedom Conference in Cedar City in 2010 where he was one of the speakers and used the opportunity to hold a town hall-style meeting. Again, he was soft spoken, but spoke as a staunch advocate of the Constitutional rights of the people and was obviously respected by the people of Iron County. At the end of the conference, several of us Oath Keepers thanked him for his continued support of the Constitution and voiced our continued support for him as the model of what a County Sheriff should be.

The Tenth Amendment Center - Active In Georgia Again

I have accepted the position of State Chapter Coordinator for the Georgia Tenth Amendment Center, rejoining the organization actively after a two year hiatus.

The Tenth Amendment Center has facilitated some fantastic leaps in the cause of Liberty and Freedom, while solidifying understanding among Americans of the power of the Tenth Amendment in countering the abuses and expansions of the Federal government.

Federalism, which was constructed in our Constitution, limits the power Washington can wield over the sovereign states by enumerating the specific powers which it is endowed with to run the country. The Tenth Amendment, the last entry of The Bill of Rights, leaves no question as to the intent of federalism and states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

TAC, The Tenth Amendment Center, works to educate the people, while at the same time develops and introduces proposals of legislation which would help to restore the power of the individual state, and counteract the steady deterioration of the independent state's influence over the entity which was created in The Constitution to serve it and the people.

I am proud and honored to once again be actively engaged in the work of the Tenth Amendment Center as State Chapter Coordinator.
