Swearing to disobey to protect

E-Mail Print

As the American people are facing the threat of losing our freedom to an ever-oppressive federal government, it is good to see that an organization of oath keepers has risen to ensure that liberty is preserved.

Oath Keepers provides an opportunity for military, law enforcement or anyone who has taken an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution to reaffirm that oath to also include 10 specific orders they will not obey.

Here are some of them:

— We will not obey any order to disarm the American people.

— We will not obey any order to conduct warrantless searches of the American people, their homes, vehicles, papers, or effects -- such as warrantless house- to-house searches for weapons or persons.

— We will not obey any order to detain American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" or to subject them to trial by military tribunal.

— We will not obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

— We will not obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
