It pretty much IS their Oath at enlistment and is the Oath of every public servant...but many are thinking of the 'job' and don't pay attention. That is the point. When you join the military, police, or other 'authoritative' gov agency, the Oath is to support and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Oathkeepers are determined to honor their Oath...something we don't see happening in congress, the white house, at governorships, in courts, by police and sadly by sheriff dept. However, Sheriff Mack is now working towards a goal of teaching sheriffs about their Constitutional duties so look him up online, he could use some help with that project.

from M Connelly:The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they cant be taken away by the government. M Connelly 2011

...a centralized government... ...AND IMPOSE TYRANNY ON SUBJECT NATIONS...

If America ever does seek Empire, and most nations do, then planned reforms in our domestic life will be abandoned, States Rights will be abolished--in order to impose a centraized government upon us for the purpose of internal repudiation of freedom, and adventures abroad. The American Dream will then die--on battlefields all over the world--and a nation conceived in liberty will destroy liberty for Americans and impost tyranny of subject nations. George S Boutwell

Every ambitious would be empire clarions it abroad that she is conquering the world to bring it peace, security and freedom, and is sacrificing her sons only for the most noble and humanitarian purposes. That is a lie, and it is an ancient lie, yet generations still rise and believe it. GS Boutwell

The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they can’t be taken away by the government. M Connelly 2011

Well sir, you have 26 out of 535 members of congress on your side....and that isn't enuff....yet. Did you see your House member or Senators on the above list? Write to them and fire them if they aren't there....

Those who NEVER VOTE in a manner that honors their Oath of Office--thus a constitutional manner, meaning their score is ZERO in the House /Senate: Miller (CA), Berman (CA), Filner (CA),Brown (FL), Deutch (FL), Hoyer (MD), Olver (MA), Tsongas (MA), Levin (MI), Dingell (MI), Pascrell (NJ), Rothman (NJ), Lowey (NY), Miller (NC), Schwartz (PA), Dicks (WA), Kind (WI) in the 112th Congress.

It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people. Congressman John Dingall (MI) March 23, 2010 on News Talk WJR Radio with Paul Smith

Self-responsibility+self-reliability+self sufficiency=self respect. It is a simple equation for anyone not of the "gimme yours" group.

To understand why God is written out of the roots of the country please watch The Agenda, it is covered in that documentary (you will not see it on tv but will have to get if from Amazon). To understand that law is force read Bastiat's The Law. Education that includes US history and the classics, and educating those we come in contact (anyone for speaking to OWS?) with are the only hope...for if ignorance prevails, the "gimme yours" generation will win and as old folks like me will be dead, it is my progeny that will suffer...so I soldier on and pray there are those standing with me.

The first written manuscript was by Ibn, correct? And it was greatly damaged but one of our contemporary authors was able to take it and fill in the blanks to write a fictional story from it? Eaters of the Dead sound familiar? or the Twelfth Horseman or some other number...the name rings a bell and I cannot recall...

And there is only ONE MAN that is running on restoration of the Constitution: RON PAUL. Restore America 2012 there is a secret pact on media disallow him coverage, wall street ignores him, and the GOP wants the same man for president we have had the last 60 years, but with a new name; and there is one federal reserve puppet... go figure..public has scrambled gray matter. Register republican so you can vote for Paul in the primary. You can change again after the primary. This could be our last chance to save our republic. Join this rEVOLution today. Time is running out. NH is moving its primary up possibly to the first week in Dec.

I agree with the list of quotes from the wise men who are now dead. I pray we have some wise men in our country now because we really need them. Restore America NOW

"The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpation of power by rulers. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally ... enable the people to resist and triumph over them." -- Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, p. 3:746-7, 1833 Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms ... The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible." -- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959 "[The purpose of a written constitution is] to bind up the several branches of government by certain laws, which, when they transgress, their acts shall become nullities; to render unnecessary an appeal to the people, or in other words a rebellion, on every infraction of their rights, on the peril that their acquiescence shall be construed into an intention to surrender those rights." -- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia Q.XIII, 1782. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh, editors, ME 2:178

"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws." --John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of the United States 475 (1787-1788) Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787). "The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them." -- Zacharia Johnson, delegate to Virginia Ratifying Convention, Elliot, 3:645-6 ... most attractive to Americans, the possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave, it being the ultimate means by which freedom was to be preserved." -- James Burgh, 18th century English Libertarian writer, Shalhope, The Ideological Origins of the Second Amendment, p.604

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356 What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." -- Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789 "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials." George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788 "The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." -- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188 If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. -- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

Restore America, vote for Ron Paul. If you are not a registerd republican plese become one. After the primary, you can switch back, but Ron Paul needs your vote in the primary in your state. You must do it soon as different states have different time limits prior to voting. Once you have voted you can change back to Independent or declines to state or democrat...but we are unable to get him on the ballot unless you take this step to save our nation from complete ruin.

Sadly,k we have no property rights so we only have moral laws...part of our problem wouldn't you say?

He was also the first Vice President of the United States....

Problem identified. Solution forthcoming?

we now know where 'being railroaded' comes from....

Fire the dead weight...no excesses...break public unions. New York has so many people sitting reading a newspaper rather than teaching an entire city could run on their (non)earnings. Where is the common sense in that scenario? That is the difference between having true statesmen in offices...real people who care about their community, and paid/bribed? politicians. People, this is our fault...we must take care in our electing...we must know who we are choosing. We must vote out those who are not doing the will ov the poeple and we must start at the top in 2012.
