Knowing that you do not stand alone and that others share the same principals as you do is awesome! I learned something by watching these videos. It was not just a familiarization...it was a learning experience all over again. Thank you!

I'm stuck on dial-up out here, & as an attendee, I'd love to have permanent remembrance of the occasion.

Thanks for putting it all together!

Best regards,

Hard to believe that 6 ladies in pink shirts, holding signs are deemed newsworthy, but this event was not covered by any major news outlet. Things are upside-down and backwards.; April 22, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Anonymous said...: I was surprised and delighted to see my photos of the Lexington Oath Keepers event displayed on your blog. It seems that one of my fellow members from Northeast Shooters sent them to you before I had chance to.

Wanting to get the photos of the event posted to NES quickly, I downloaded them raw without running them through my photo program.

I have since enhanced their color balance and improved their composition, I would be happy to send them to you if I can get an address. Either that, or I can create a video and just send that.

Please let me know which you would prefer.

Best regards,

Stewart Rhodes said...: JMHH,

Thanks for taking the pics, and for offering to send enhances versions to us. You can email pics to oathkeepersok@gmail.com.

Did you get a T shirt and tab?

Thank you for the e-mail address. I will forward what I have and let you choose which to use. Or you could just use all of them! : )

To answer your question, no, I did not get a T shirt or tab.

DON'T TREAD ON ME said...: I would appreciate if someone could clarify the status of 'peace officers' with respect to which oaths they take to become 'peace officers.'
It has been my understanding that local law enforcement, and possibly some state law enforcment agencies, do not take oaths to support and defend the Constitution, but to uphold instead the municipal and/or state codes.
Someone please clarify this point.
Thank you,

Yes, we will have it all on CD, hopefully very soon.

"I would appreciate if someone could clarify the status of 'peace officers' with respect to which oaths they take to become 'peace officers.'"

Most police swear an oath to both their state constitution and the federal constitution. There are some places where this is not done, but I think it safe to say that far more do swear an oath than do not.

Anonymous said...: Good, keep us posted on that CD.
I would *really* like a one page
hand out to print out. I've got
a list of tens of recipients at a minimum. Please! (The OWWNO can go
on the back in summary) I have
mailed vs addresses listed here.; April 26, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Anonymous said...: Stewart,

I was delighted to see the Oath-Keepers affiliation with Committees of Safety with the Lexington Green event.

Both organizations and websites are quite an encouragement to see that we're not rolling over, belly up!; April 26, 2009 at 3:26 PM
Stewart Rhodes said...: Folks, the Oath Keepers crew is still recovering from the blitz of activity getting to Lexington, but we will be posting more testimonials, articles, and also more details on upcoming activities and outreach efforts.

And, we still have T shirts for sale if you want one. Details coming in a post very soon.

Stewart will be posting this link more officially and permanently when he gets a ( ahem ) spare moment. He's a busy man and has already sacrificed greatly so patience with him as he seeks an available moment to post the link.

If I knew how to do it, I would :); April 28, 2009 at 8:11 AM

ABOUT OATH KEEPERS:

Oath Keepers is an association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.

Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial.

We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders."

Our motto is “Not on our watch!”

If you, the American people, are forced to once again fight for your liberty in another American Revolution, you will not be alone. We will stand with you.

There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But you can rest assured that many others in the military do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution, and understand what that means.

The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers. We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops. To win that battle, Oath Keepers will use written and video testimony of active duty military, veterans (especially combat vets), and peace officers to reach, teach, and inspire our brothers in arms in the military and police to fulfill their oaths and stand as guardians of the Republic.

If you are currently in the military, are a veteran, or are a peace officer, please submit your written and/or video testimony on your oath, so you can help us win that battle for hearts and minds. Your submission may be anonymous.

Guardians of the Republic, fulfill your oath. Join us.

THE MINSTREL BOY As Sung by the Late Joe Strummer

The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;"
Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
They shall never sound in slavery!"
