So I was talking with a guy two weeks ago about the benefits of having a Neighborhood Protection Team plan, as opposed to an overt militia group that has no actual authority, and the majority just gives an air of “Let’s play Army”. He was extolling the virtues of the “militia”, and was telling me how the “militia” was going to step up and “Take the country back”. I laughed, then proceeded to tell him that “‘A’, you guys can’t plan a weekend’s training event without telling everyone about it. ‘B’, you can’t keep from posting pics on FB of every MoFo at said training event . and ‘C’, you are more concerned about looking high speed, but the appearance is where that stops.” He started saying “But at Burns….” at which time I cut him off and asked a question. “What was there reason the Burns situation took place to begin with?” He said, “They were protesting the Hammonds incarceration.” I said, “Please tell me what has been said recently about the Hammonds?” He could not recall anything recent. I told him, “I will tell you why your precious “militia” won’t do shit when it comes down to action. There are only 1,249 signatures on the “release the Hammonds” petition, and those people had a month to sign it! Those “patriots” couldn’t lift there fingers to a Damned keyboard and make an overt gesture towards showing support for the two guys that were the reason for the rally protest to begin with, and it is a slap in the face of Lavoy Finicum and every WELL MEANING person that was arrested, that those “patriots” haven’t done shit by even making that gesture of support.” Needless to say, the conversation ended shortly thereafter, because he had no retort to my statement, and decided it was best not to argue the point, since he had no facts to back his original premise.

I started the petition to free the Hammonds. It quickly became apparent that there was little support in the patriot community for taking a stand. At this point in time, the enemy is winning. It takes courage and sacred Honor to regain freedom. It appears that both are in short supply.

The number of people who signed this petition is pathetic-it takes less than 2 minutes of your time.
I signed on day #1,I was the 5th signer-and after all that time,the total is 1200 and change??!!
Come on,it’s not like people are being asked to donate a kidney-it’s a petition-you know the whole redress of grievances thing.
The problem with putting your name on a piece of paper is that they will come for you too. Look at the signers of the Declaration of Independance and how it effected their lives. I think when the time finally comes the rolls will be full of people that are willing to do what is needed. They have more than enough cells for the people that sign paper now.
I disagree. Neimoller stated this succinctly:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
After careful consideration I have decided to sign the petition. I have also decided to petition the Lord in prayer. Where can I find the paper petition? I have already found my knees. Who will join me there?
The petition had 30 days to receive 100,000 signatures. After that period, it was deleted by the wHite House. I appreciate the sentiment. In the meantime, political prisoners are sitting in solitary confinement for supporting the People over the government.
Signing a petition is not a crime,sure you might get a little attention from some bored cop-big f*ckin deal-they ain’t going around rounding up people who sign petitions.
When the time finally comes,the rolls will have about the same number of people as signed the petition,and when the time finally comes-no one is gonna do a damn thing-just like no one is willing to do a damn thing now.
Wait. They ignore the law, rewrite the laws, reinterpret existing laws and basically do what the fuck ever they want. And you think by signing a petition that they will what, do anything but laugh? Seriously? Do you signers feel like you accomplished something? Part of the problem you are.
I feel that I accomplished two goals. I also feel that I did more than you are doing with your comment. Using vulgar language only means that your point is invalid.
