We Fight!

What do we as Americans do when our livelihoods, liberties, rights, and freedoms are steadily being eroded and taken away from us? We Fight!

56 of our Founders put their name to a document declaring that their cause was liberty.

236 years later, our cause is the same.

If you wish to pledge—as they did—to defend economic liberty, take a moment to watch Free Market America's newest video.

Then, visit http://freemarketamerica.org/wefight and tell us why you fight. We will repost and circulate the most compelling responses.

Oath Keepers Support Marine Veteran Brandon Raub, Victim of Soviet Style Pre-crime Detention

Stewart Rhodes is calling for Oath Keepers across the country to support Brandon Raub and protest his detention and involuntary lockup in a mental ward, after he had been singled out for comments made on his Facebook page.
Please read the full article on the OK National website if you haven't already, and help get the word out that this is not the way citizens of a FREE society are to be treated.

Liberty or Tyranny: Are You an Oath Keeper? Choose Sides Now

In post Patriot Act / NDAA 2012 America, the people, our law enforcement officers, and our military members, need to decide  what our country's legacy is to be. Would we be so complacent as to let America fall into becoming a tyrannical despotism? The Beacon of Freedom, as originally intended by the founders, extinguished in totalitarian encroachments upon the natural rights declared inalienably ours in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution?

We as a people have been railroaded by our "servants" in government for multiple decades into sacrificing our freedoms upon the alter of security. This trend has been turbo-charged since 9/11 in the form of tyrannical legislations becoming law, all in the name of American safety and National Interest. More deaths have have been attributed to influenza in one year then have occurred as a result of terrorism in the ten years since 9/11, with the flu killing approximately 40,000 Americans every year, while terrorism has killed less than 12,000 in ten years, including our brothers and sisters fighting for us in the military.

With that said, does the concept of "implied security" as a result of a litany of encroachments on our Constitutional freedoms and liberties justify the stifling of those same natural, God given rights?

As Americans, we have come to a historic crossroads. In essence, a repeat of the crossroads our founders had reached when they chose to put their quill to parchment, letting the world know the American Colonies would no longer allow its People to be subjugated to the tyrannical policies of the King of England. We are at this decision now. A point where each one of us MUST decide which path, as an individual, we will follow. Will you throw your support in with the continual abuses of our government against the Constitution and the People, or will you stand for Freedom and Liberty by actually keeping the oath which ALL of our Armed Forces and public servants must take?

From the Oathkeepers.org website:

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Officers Oath

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!
We, as individuals, do not have the option of deferring this decision to some future point. We each need to decide right now, which side we are on.

Steward Rhodes is the founder of Oath Keepers. In the Video below, he makes it clear the current state the federal government has brought us to, and the decision we all must ultimately make:

America's Unique Fascism

from LewRockwell.com. "America's Unique Fascism"
Up and down the economy, at all levels of government, bureaucrats and planners dictate details in nearly all areas of economic behavior, with the principle that some sectors should simply be free of government intrusion having been totally discarded. If we have large swaths of economic liberty in America, and we do, this is by accident, or merely due to the state's institutional limits in being able to run everything. The ideological thrust of US economic policy is that we may live our commercial lives freer than in many places, but all upon the good graces of the state, its cartels, licensing boards, and regulatory apparatuses. Even our homes are private property only insofar as it serves the interest of the state, which claims the right to seize anything we own if it bolsters the tax receipts garnered through the state-business nexus. The business environment adheres to a rapidly expanding litany of commercial codes, many of them designed not even by legislature but by executive or judicial fiat. Taken together, this is the essence of economic fascism.

Well There you have it. 
Jonah Goldberg stated in his book "Liberal Fascism" that Wilson took from Hindenburgh, and Mussolini and Hitler was hugely interested in the resulting progressive polices of the United States which were in turn integrated into the edicts on National Socialism

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.
