Oath Keepers goes national with recall campaign

by Joel McDurmon on Dec 29, 2011

Oath Keepers has launched a national effort to recall (or removeby any other lawful means) all of the oath breaking members of Congress, in both the House and Senate, who voted for the National Defense Appropriations Act of 2012 (NDAA), whichcontains provisions that authorize indefinite military detention and trial by military commission of “any person” – including U.S. citizens and lawful residents – upon the mere say-so of the President or one of his subordinates in the Executive Branch, such as within the Department of Defense or CIA.

Number three on the Oath Keepers list of Orders We Will Not Obey states:

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

That is near the top of our list for very good reason – this claimed power will kill our Bill of Rights unless it is stopped. To be blunt, we consider the NDAA of 2012 to be a declaration of war on the American people, and an act of treason. But even if you disagree with that view, and merely consider those who voted for it to be oath breakers, please work hard to remove them all from office. Oath Keepers members across the nation will lead or assist efforts in their states to remove any member of Congress, regardless of party, who voted for this monstrosity.

We encourage all Americans of whatever political party to set aside their differences and come together in defense of our Bill of Rights by rooting out this den of vipers in Washington D.C. who are either knowingly killing our Bill of Rights, were too concerned with their careers to take a principled stand by voting against the NDAA, or are useful idiots who don’t understand what they swore an oath to defend. Whatever their excuse, they have violated their oaths to defend the Constitution and must be sent packing. This is not about politics. This is about defending the Constitution.

From the Oath Keepers’ “About” page: “Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.”

  1. Hallelujiah! Where do I sign up to help? The politicians are GUILTY of TREASON and a CONSPIRACY to overthrow the United States government as we know it. Removing these traitors from office is a very nice start BUT that doesn't go nearly far enough. They must be arrested and brought to the same trial that they so callously voted to deny ordinary American citizens. The Punishment for TREASON is death. Personally, I would have abosultely NO PROBLEM with them being sentenced to this well-deserved fate.

    However, it would be acceptable for these politicians to receive the exact same treatment that they voted for American citizens. They could be shipped off to a foreign prison INDEFINTELY (until the war on Terror is over) and have absolutely no recourse to any protection from torture or from inhumane living conditions.

    Under no circumstances should we accept that they spend a year or two in a cushy "white collar" prison that is equipped with tennis courts and golf courses. NO WAY!

  2. They need to be targeting the liberal justices for impeachment and recall, before the legislatures, for they're the ones causing the most harm to our society, by legislating from their benches their liberal politica agenda and goals.

  3. If you are going to be serious about going after these people, do not use their corrupt court system. You are playing with a Marked Deck, loaded in their favor.

    They are entitled to the same thing the rest of us are. A trial by jury — which means a Common Law trial by a Jury of their Peers.

    Common Law exists, and is active in several states.

    Please consider the following:

    In its ruling the Supreme Court pointed out that any grant of any license by a State or the Federal Government was void at Common Law.

    All grants of this kind are void at common law, because they destroy the freedom of trade, discourage labor and industry, restrain persons from getting an honest livelihood, and put it in the power of the grantees to enhance the price of commodities. They are void because they interfere with the liberty of the individual to pursue a lawful trade or employment. – Butcher’s Union Slaughterhouse and Livestock Company v. Crescent City Livestock Landing and Slaughterhouse Company Argued April 9-10, 1884 Decided May 5, 1884 – U. S. Supreme Court 111 U. S. 746

    Take careful note that the Supreme Court said “Common Law.”

    Common Law exists.

    Be sure that you completely and thoroughly understand and know that all actions concerning the Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness are the sole venue of the Common Law Courts, and that these are the Courts of We, the People. The power and authority of the Common Law Courts are as set forth in the 7th Article of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution for the united States of America. The several governments created by the People have no power or authority concerning the Common Law Courts.

    In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. – 7th Article of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution for the united States of America.

  4. In order to assure ourselves that We, the People, retained our power to control our several governments the Founding Fathers firmly established the power of the “People’s Courts”, our Common Law Courts, in the 7th Article of the Bill of Rights.

    Please note, that We, the People, are guaranteed a Trial by Jury. This is not a jury trial. Trial by Jury is a Common Law trial where the members of the jury are the justices who conduct the trial and question everyone concerned with the case in order to arrive at a unanimous decision. There are no attorneys and there is no judge in a Common Law trial.

    It is also interesting to note that Article 3, Section 2, Paragraph 3 declares that the trial of all crimes is to be by Jury. This demands a Common Law trial and effectively takes the power away from the government to try any Citizen in any Civil Court.

    The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed – Article 3, Section 2, Paragraph 3, Constitution for the United States of America

    Why?

    The above cite says “trial of all crimes shall be by jury.” It does not say in front of a jury, it says BY jury.

    Because there is a VAST difference between a Trial by Jury and a Jury Trial.

    A Jury Trial is the civil substitute for a Trial by Jury and has been foisted upon the people as part of the scam.

    Trial by Jury is a Common Law Trial, as specified in Article 7 of the Bill of Rights. There is no Judge. There are no Attorneys to speak on behalf of the parties. The Jury members are referred to as Justices and they conduct the trial, directly question the parties before the court, and render the verdict.

    If you want to see a Common Law Court in action, simply watch the United States Supreme Court. Even though it allows attorneys, it basically functions as a Common Law Court. The Justices question the participants and render a decision.

    We the People retained all rights to the Common Law, and We made the Common Law Courts Superior to any other court in the land so that We the People could step in at any time and overturn a decision that is not in keeping with the Laws that We established in our Federal and State Constitutions.

    We just don't understand the power and authority that we retained when we kept the Common Law for ourselves.

    Even the Supreme Court acknowledges the fact that the Constitution does not grant any rights to the Common Laws, which are the very basis of all laws in this Country.

    There is no federal general common law. Congress has no power to declare substantive rules of common law applicable in a state whether they be local in their nature or 'general,' be they commercial law or a part of the law of torts. And no clause in the Constitution purports to confer such a power upon the federal courts. – – Erie R.R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938)

    There is a booklet on my web site: http://www.constitutionalconcepts.org that will give you the basics about convening a Superior Common Law Court and holding a Common Law Trial.

  5. As the first comment I say Hallelujah!! At an early Tea Party meeting a woman made the remark that she was told by a military man that the military would never turn on citizens of the USA..Then as I read all the changes made in the military and men leaving due to Don't ask, Don't Tell being removed I had begun to wonder if this could make a change and perhaps the military would , at sometime be used against citizens..
    So thankful to see Oath Keepers going National with this..Thank you!!
