Organized patriot groups

Do you know about an organization called "Oath Keepers?" It is composed of veterans, active duty military, law enforcement

and all others who have sworn to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic", an oath which never expires.

Ol' Remus at the Woodpile Report writes,

Members on military active duty are encouraged to remain anonymous, part of what prompts the Southern Poverty Law Center to denounce the organization as "a particularly worrisome example of the Patriot revival". Worrisome is precisely what they want to be of course. Such condemnation by the SPLC goes a long way in establishing their bona fides with rational people. Somewhat similar outfits include Mike Vanderboegh's Three Percenters and Larry Bailey's Gathering of Eagles.

Oath Keepers foresee martial law in the near future and pledge to disobey any order which violates the Constitution. It's a call to stand down, not to rise up, and lists these ten specific examples:

Oath Keepers: orders we will not obey:

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.

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

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a "state of emergency" on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

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

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

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to "keep the peace" or to "maintain control."

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
