WE THE SHEEPLE

The following letter is a sample of a letter that I suggest that you email to your County Sheriff. We need hundreds if not thousands of Patriots to send emails to their County Sheriff. We need to find out which of the Sheriffs are working for the people and which ones are working for the Federal government. Copy the following letter and send it to all of your friends and neighbors and ask them to do the same. Ask everyone to email their Sheriff and demand that he or she make a commitment to honor their oath of office.

Dear Sheriff ________________,

As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in _______________County you were required to take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. Having taken that oath I would like to know if you will honor your oath by refusing to enforce Federal rules, regulations and directives that violate the Constitution and/or the Bill of Rights.

The Second Amendment clearly proclaims that the people have a right to own guns and in the Bill of Rights, the government is prohibited from infringing on the right of the people to own guns if they choose to do so. Your primary job is to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the rights of the people that live in ______________ our County.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has no lawful jurisdiction in the counties and that when a Sheriff chooses to enforce an unconstitutional directive, he is violating his Constitutional Oath.

The people of _______________ County are the employer and you are the employee and we expect you to represent us and not the Federal government. As your employer, I would like to know if you are given an order that violates the Constitution, will you honor your oath or will you do as directed by the President of the United States.

Sincerely,

Sheriffs called out to fight the law Local officers predicted to be key to preventing gun  confiscation

A high-profile former sheriff who once sued the U.S. government over its gun  regulations – and won – says it’s the local sheriff who will have to defend  Americans when and if the feds start banning and confiscating guns.

Richard Mack, a former sheriff in  Graham County, Ariz., joined with then-Ravalli County Sheriff Jay Printz in a  lawsuit against Washington when Bill Clinton demanded sheriffs

Richard Mack, a former sheriff in  Graham County, Ariz., joined with then-Ravalli County Sheriff Jay Printz in a  lawsuit against Washington when Bill Clinton demanded sheriffs enforce  provisions of the Brady Bill gun-control law.

He won. And since then he’s been at the front of a movement that highlights  the responsibility of local sheriffs.

Now, as Washington gears up to consider imperious plans to limit guns,  require fingerprinting and registration, impose additional taxes and fees, ban  particular features or functions outright, and even confiscate weapons of  self-defense, Mack has told WND that there’s hope remaining in local law  enforcement.

It’s not complicated, he said.

“Gun control is illegal, and it’s against the Constitution,” he said. “What  people don’t realize is that the Second Amendment was designed to protect us  from the power of the federal government.”

He said he would expect sheriffs across the country to defend the rights of  ordinary Americans.

“I hope and pray America’s sheriffs won’t allow any more gun control,” Mack  said. “The sheriffs need to be united in letting the federal government know  that we’re not going to allow it.

“In the ’90s when I was the sheriff of Graham County, Ariz., we worked with  other sheriffs and stopped two or three Brady

“In the ’90s when I was the sheriff of Graham County, Ariz., we worked with  other sheriffs and stopped two or three Brady Bills,” he recalled, a fight that  he’s been detailing in seminars with sheriffs.

He said the office is critical, as it’s not only in law enforcement, but also  is elected directly by the people.

“Out of 200 sheriffs with whom I’ve met, I’ve only had one give me a  wishy-washy answer. That one said he would try to take the federal government to  court,” Mack said. “Most of them have said they would lay down their lives first  rather than allow any more federal control. They also said they would do  everything they could to stop gun control and gun confiscation.”

Alan Stang at News  With Views wrote about another battle Mack encountered while sheriff. A  bridge had washed out and parents were driving children 26 miles to school,  which physically was located only half a mile across a river.

The county decided the fix the bridge and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers  warned that an environmental study alone would take 10 years. Mack promised to  provide protection for the workers, and said he’d call out a posse if  needed.

The bridge was built.

Stang wrote about other close encounter between sheriffs and the feds:

Find  out who is working to aid Barack Obama in the destruction of the 2nd Amendment,  in “America Disarmed.”

“In 1997, in Nye County, Nev., federal agents arrived to seize cattle that  belonged to rancher Wayne Hage. The sheriff gave them a choice: skedaddle or be  arrested. They skedaddled. … In Idaho, a 74-year-old rancher shot an endangered  gray wolf which had killed one of his calves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service  sent three armed agents to serve a warrant. Lemhi County Sheriff Brett Barslou  said that was ‘inappropriate, heavy-handed and dangerously close to excessive  force.’ More than 500 people turned out for a rally in the small towns of  Challis and Salmon to support the sheriff and the rancher and to tell the  federal government to back off.”

Mack, who’s written “The Magic of Gun Control,” said if there is an actual  specific plan to start taking Americans’ weapons, he expects a response.

“If the federal government wants to start a new Civil War, all they need to  do is go ahead with gun confiscation,” Mack said.

Just a day earlier, WND reported that Firearms Coalition Executive  Director Jeff Knox said Second Amendment supporters aren’t planning negotiations  with Obama over gun control.

“We are not going to back down. We are not going to give in. And we are not  going to concede one more inch,” Knox said.

He was responding to questions about America’s response to plans like those  from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to demand gun registration, bans and  fingerprinting in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut.

“Unfortunately, the president and other anti-rights politicians are not doing  anything to keep what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary from happening again,” he said. “Instead they are going after law-abiding gun owners and targeting  commonly owned firearms and ammunition feeding devices. Their proposed  restrictions on these items would have had no impact on what happened at Sandy  Hook, and, if passed, would not stop the next craven murderer from wreaking just  as much havoc and destruction.”

Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt shares Mack’s  opinion.

“The county sheriffs need to act and make new deputies to stop federal  authority in the counties,” Pratt told WND. “This is a defensible idea. He can  deputize people to serve since they are the ones who voted for him to represent  them. A lot of citizens would stand up for their Second Amendment rights if they  were protected by the sheriff.”

He cited a move that already is surging among states to adopt laws and use  the Tenth Amendment to curb federal activity. The Tenth Amendment simply  reserves to the states and the people all responsibilities not specifically  assigned to Washington in the Constitution.

Pratt noted the move that over the past few years has seen eight states adopt  laws that exempt firearms made, sold and kept in the state from federal  oversight. The federal government has taken the issue to court, where it remains  at this point.

“A number of states are passing laws that use the Tenth Amendment to curb  federal control. Their law says that if a gun is made in the state and sold in  the state, that the federal government has no control over it,” Pratt said.

He provided additional examples of what already has resulted from sheriffs’ disputes with the feds.

“In Elkhart County, Ind., there was a farmer who produced raw milk. The  Department of Justice was investigating the farmer and was trying to shut down  the farm,” Pratt said. “Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers   defended the farmer by saying that without a warrant signed by a judge and  without probable cause, they had no jurisdiction to investigate the farmer  within his jurisdiction of Elkhart County.”

“Rogers said that if they didn’t leave, he would arrest them. The DoJ  threatened to arrest him, but Rogers sent his deputies to defend the farmer,” Pratt said. “The feds have had to back off.”

He also said local officials in New Mexico burned trees from a small parcel  of federal land to halt a raging forest fire.

“The sheriff is the chief officer in the county even on federal land if the  land is in the county,” Pratt said.

But Washington is not idle. Barack Obama   said he will put the weight of his office behind gun control, and Feinstein  even has proposed a federal gun buyback program that has been endorsed by about   40 members of Congress.

Feinstein’s dedication to eliminating the Second Amendment is  unquestioned.

The California Democrat was one of sponsors of the so-called “Brady Bill,” the 1995 “assault weapons” ban. Faced with the limitations placed in the version  that was making its way through Congress, Feinstein   said, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States,  for an outright ban, picking up every gun in America, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in.”

Mack, who is also the founder of the   Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, said Feinstein is a &ldquoolimagician,” a political leader who believes his or her policies will work  magic for their constituents.

“They think they’re special and better than everyone else. Feinstein’s [own]  concealed carry permit is the product of this elitist attitude,” Mack said. He  said Congress and Obama simply are loading their political agenda onto the backs  of the victims of Sandy Hook.

He said gun control through history produces one result: “Genocide.”

Pratt warned that Washington’s strategy will accomplish nothing but creating  vast new ranks of felons in America.

“A lot of Americans spend an awful lot of money on these guns. I don’t think  there will be very many who will willingly accept $200 for a gun that they paid  $500 to $1,000 for,” Pratt said.

The last two major gun rights cases that went before the U.S. Supreme Court  were decided in favor of gun rights, and as a followup the Second  Amendment Foundation has been taking on local and state restrictions.

Recently, a federal judge struck down a North Carolina provision that  authorizes a ban on firearms and ammunition outside homes during “a declared  emergency,” determining that violates the Second Amendment.

WND  reported earlier when residents of King, N.C., were startled by the  banishment of firearms during a “declared snow emergency.”

Judge Malcolm J. Howard wrote, “[T]he court finds that the statutes at issue  here are subject to strict scrutiny. … While the bans imposed pursuant to these  statutes may be limited in duration, it cannot be overlooked that the statutes  strip peaceable, law abiding citizens of the right to arm themselves in defense  of hearth and home, striking at the very core of the Second Amendment.”

“When SAF attorney Alan Gura won the Heller case at the Supreme Court,” noted  SAF Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “the gun ban crowd said that we  were a ‘one-trick-pony’ and that we would never knock out another gun law. Well,  SAF has now knocked out gun laws in Maryland, Illinois and North Carolina.”
