Oath Keepers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_Keepers

List of refused orders

The Oath Keepers feel that their sworn oath to the American Constitution, grants them not only the right, but the duty to refuse unconstitutional orders. The Oath Keepers organization has published a list of orders that they claim they will not obey:

Orders to disarm the American people.
Orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.
Orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
Orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
Orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
Any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
Any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
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."
Any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
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.


Additional reports

MSNBC's political commentator, Patrick J. Buchanan, quoted Alan Maimon in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, as saying "Oath Keepers, depending on where one stands, are either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia.” Mr. Buchanan explained their existence on the alienation of white America, concluding that "America was once their country. They sense they are losing it. And they are right." [13]
