OATH KEEPERS USA
“Stand your ground!”
(Captain John Parker, Lexington, MA, April 19th 1775)
Oath Keepers USA is a group of proud American Patriots who are dedicated to upholding the Constitution of the United States of America. Our members have rich, diverse backgrounds and include prior and current military, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders and civilians, all of whom have taken a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Our Mission is to honor our Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We believe that it is our patriotic duty to peacefully protest unlawful actions of our government.
Our Values are Honorable and loyal, with integrity to the core. Respectful of others, no matter our differences.Courageous and righteous in our pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.Selfless, committed and prepared to serve.Willing to share our time, talents and resources.
Ten Orders We Will NOT Obey
The following are the Ten Orders that Oath Keepers USA will never obey. Orders such as this are illegal and would only be issued by corrupt and tyrannical leaders. Those who follow illegal orders go against the Oath they have sworn, as well as the Constitution of the United States.
(Click on area to open)
1. Orders prohibiting freedom of religion, speech, press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
These are rights specifically listed in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. They are designed to protect against government attacks on worship, free speech and the press.
2. Orders to disarm the American people
This would be a violation of the Second Amendment. Private ownership of firearms is the greatest deterrent to tyranny ever devised. Only criminals, tyrants, and those willing to trade liberty for “security” wish for a disarmed populace.
3. Orders to conduct warrantless searches and seizures of the American people, their houses, papers and effects.
This would be a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
4. Orders to confiscate the private property of the American people without due process.
This would be a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Life, liberty and property are the three great freedoms that are supposed to be secured by the government.
5. Orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or subjecting them to military tribunals.
This would be a violation of the Fourth (people are secure in their persons), Fifth (due process), Sixth (right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury), and Fourteenth (deprival of life, liberty, or property) Amendments.
6. Orders to invade and subjugate any American state that asserts its sovereignty.
The Tenth Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.”
7. Orders to blockade American cities.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally prevents a president from using federal troops as a domestic police force.
8. Orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on an American state.
There is no power delegated to the federal government to impose martial law.
9. Orders forcing American citizens into any form of detention camp.
This would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment (right to life, liberty and property).
10. Orders to assist or support the use of foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people.
Foreign troops within our borders, whether ally or enemy, have no allegiance to our Constitutional Republic and no obligation to uphold the rights of the American people. Under any pretext, we will consider this an invasion and act of war.
An Important Message for
American Patriots
BOARD MEMBER MESSAGE MAY 2026
“All sober inquirers after truth, ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, have declared that the happiness of man, as well as his dignity, consists in virtue.…” John Adams
Dear Patriots,
Our Founders considered the pursuit of happiness to be a private right and a public duty. They based this conclusion on a deep study of writings about natural law, philosophy, and jurisprudence.
The Forefathers described this quest as a dramatic struggle. The Greek words for reason and emotion are logos and pathos, respectively, so for the Founders, passion was a synonym for emotion. The Founders believed not that we should lack emotion, only that we should MANAGE our emotions in productive ways.
In this sense, the Founders believed that the pursuit of happiness regards freedom not as boundless liberty to do whatever “feels good” in the moment but as bounded liberty to “MAKE WISE CHOICES” that will help us to best develop our capacities and talents over the course of our lives.
They believed that the pursuit of happiness includes responsibilities as well as rights—the responsibility to limit ourselves, restrain ourselves, and master ourselves, so that we achieve the “wisdom” and “harmony” that are necessary for true FREEDOM.
As Oath Keepers we take on the struggle to pursue “freedom” for our families and friends. Let’s set our mind on the positive small victories that each of us have achieved in our communities.
While others attempt to attack and defame our President, our country and fellow citizens, let’s celebrate the positive things that can happen when we as Oath Keepers reach out, lead and inspire positive forward progress.
Many special and positive things have historically happened in May:
May 1 (1931): The Empire State Building image.png was officially opened in New York City.
May 20 (1932): Amelia Earhart took off to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.
May 27 (1937): The Golden Gate Bridge officially opened in San Francisco.
May 7 (1945): Nazi Germany formally surrendered to the Allied forces, leading to VE Day (Victory in Europe) on May 8.
May 5 (1961): Alan Shepard became the first American in space, piloting Freedom 7.
And don’t forget Memorial Day (US): Honors military personnel who died in service (last Monday of May).
God bless you all.
Stand your Ground.
