"Oath Keepers"
Gaining Momentum
Organization pledges to prevent dictatorship in United States
by JD Nutt, IG Web-Editor
Report last updated on October 20th, 2009 - Oklahoma City, OK. 
Imagine if you will, another time of crisis erupts and your local law enforcement is mustered to go door to door in your neighborhood to seek out a criminal element (aka terrorists) and to secure any weapons they deem fit to confiscate.
Were this to occur (as it did during hurricane Katrina in New Orleans), and your local law enforcement were members of the "Oath Keepers" organization, events may unfold a bit different then you might think. 
The "Oath Keepers" have pledged to refuse any unlawful order given to them by their command.
If you are not aware of the organization of "Oath Keepers" that was initiated in March 2009, before the mainstream media distorts their actual cause, the following is a must read to gain clear understanding of the mission and intent of the organization.
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military members, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath they swore to, by supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
If you have ever served your country as a member of the military or as a civil servant, the oath you took was to the Constitution of the United States, not to the politicians. The members of Oath Keepers 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 right to jury trial.
The Las Vegas Review Journal has spun a report that the organization may be "strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia."
Stewart Rhodes, the Founder of Oath Keepers was quoted by the Review Journal that he is not preaching violence or government overthrow, on the contrary, it is asking police and the military to lay down their arms in response to unlawful orders.
The following is a list of orders that can be found at the Oath Keepers' website. Members of the organization intend to support the list if conflict should arise.
 
SUMMARY LIST OF 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.
