A
Delegation of state legislators, lead by Washington State
Representative Matt Shea, along with a delegation of current serving
Sheriffs, lead by Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs
and Peace Officers Association, and military and police members of Oath
Keepers, are converging on the site of a stand-off between federal law
enforcement and Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy, to prevent bloodshed and
to stand in defense of hardworking rural Americans who are under
assault by a runaway federal government.
LAS VEGAS, NV, April 10, 2014
The
Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA.org),
led by retired Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, and the Oath Keepers
organization (oathkeepers.org)
are assisting Washington State Representative Matt Shea in organizing a
delegation of current serving Western state legislators and Sheriffs
to travel to the site of a tense stand-off between Bunkerville, Nevada
rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The
delegation is traveling to Nevada to support a coalition of current
serving Nevada legislators being organized by Nevada State Assemblywoman
Michele Fiore, of Las Vegas, to stand vigil at the Bundy ranch to
prevent Federal Government provocation of violence resulting in another
Ruby Ridge or Waco type incident. They also hope that their example of
oath-sworn public servants defending the rights of the people will
prompt Clark County, Nevada Sheriff Douglas Gillespie and Nevada
Governor Brian Sandoval to honor their oaths of office by taking real
action to defend the rights of the Bundy family, the rights of all
Nevadans, and the sovereignty of the State of Nevada.
Yesterday,
April 9, 2014, Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore served the
first watch in this vigil shortly after Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon
Bundy, was tazered by BLM "Rangers" during a heated confrontation.
[The video of that confrontation can be seen with the full article on
the Oath Keepers web site, www.oathkeepers.org]:
The
courage and resolve displayed by Ammon Bundy and his relatives is
inspiring, and may well go down in history as a watershed moment - a
turning of the tide. But the above video also amply demonstrates the
heavy-handed behavior of the BLM that risks escalating an already
volatile situation into open bloodshed, that, once begun, may spiral out
of anyone's control.
It
is necessary that current serving public servants step in-between the
protesters and the BLM, to protect the rights of the people and to
prevent violence against them by the militarized federal law
enforcement that are massing near the ranch to continue the forced
confiscation (theft) of Bundy's cattle, while they also restrict all
access to huge tracts of public land, and attempt to restrict the free
speech of protesters with their absurd "First Amendment Area" (which
the protesters are ignoring, to their honor).
The
Oath Keepers organization, comprised of 40,000 current serving and
former military, police, and first responders, is also calling on its
members and all other patriotic Americans to join the vigil at the
Bundy ranch under the leadership of the current serving legislators and
sheriffs. The goal is to have at least one current serving state
legislator and at least one sheriff on the ground at all times until
this is over. And they will be backed by a large number of military and
police veterans, as well as dedicated patriotic Americans from all
walks of life, to interpose and defend the rights of the protesters and
to keep an eye on the actions of the BLM and any other federal law
enforcement present, to prevent a recurrence of the horrid abuses seen
at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and to hopefully pressure the Clark County
Sheriff and the Nevada Governor to step up and do their constitutional
duty.
Regardless,
please tell everyone you know to be praying for a peaceful resolution
to this situation and for the safety of the brave patriots headed
there and on the ground there right now.
