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 JULY 2026
“Here no man proclaims his birth or wealth as a title to honorable distinction, or to sanctify ignorance and vice with the name of hereditary authority. He who has the most zeal and ability to promote public felicity, let him be the servant of the public.”
John Adams.
Dear Patriots,
What would be the perfect 250th anniversary message ? Well, the pressure to write this message is nothing compared to those who dared to speak in 1777. The speeches at the first Independence Day celebration were a rally cry and support for the ongoing revolutionary war effort. We as a people were at war, literally fighting to maintain the independence that we boldly demanded. Many of those who gave speeches were targeted and hunted, “traitors to the crown”.
The first official anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was celebrated on July 4, 1777, in Philadelphia. The festivities—which included bonfires, bell ringing, a 13-gun ship salute, and fireworks—were organized exactly one year after the Second Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration on July 4, 1776.
The American experiment, after 250 years, is no longer an experiment. Tested by outsiders, tested from within, tested for weakness and cracks, which continues to make us all stronger. In this country we see souls bound to souls through hard work and a belief in free opportunity.
An example of that hard work is the USS Constitution (the oldest vessel , still afloat): built at Edmund Hartt’s shipyard in Boston, Massachusetts.
Just like the USS Constitution. Freedom itself demonstrates strength, presents a beautiful invite to each man’s soul, yet is fragile and demands full time attention and maintenance. Each of us is responsible to sound the alarm at the slightest crack, twist, abuse or error.
Interestingly enough we currently have generations of Americans who have lived through and remember two historical celebrations. 1976 and 2026. Let’s take a moment to remember the concept of family and community as our foundation while standing in awe when thinking of the leaps in technology and innovation.
The innovations of our times now allow each of us to have our own electronic “printing press”, with the ability to send elaborate and mesmerizing messages to the public and the world. With that opportunity lies the responsibility and accountability of our words.
The Constitution protects our personal writings and we are free to write these messages and publish them.
Beware of those groups who also send “protected by the Constitution” messages, the messages that incite, manipulate and coerce, that attempt to divide.
For our 250th anniversary message … it is a statement to celebrate unity, fortitude and celebrating our common ground. We ask all to take a national pause to reflect on the founding principles of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” and recommit to the ongoing journey of helping the nation live up to those promises.
God Bless you.
For the Republic,
Stand your ground!
