National Veterans Coalition

If you served in our country's Armed Forces, then you took an oath to defend "the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Oddly, that last part (" ... against all enemies, foreign and domestic") is not in the oath of office for the president of the United States, nor the vice-president. And, no one "took it out"; it was never in. The text of the oath comes directly from the Constitution (Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 8). Also in the Constitution is a requirement that the United States shall protect the several States from invasion. (Article IV, Section 4) In his position as Commander in Chief of our military, the president is required to protect our borders from invasion, instead of making our borders meaningless to hordes of illegal aliens. (And, certainly not to prosecute those who secure our borders, nor to issue standing orders to retreat from the invaders.)

There are many fine groups that American veterans can join. But, those groups are organized as veterans' service groups. They are prohibited by law from engaging in direct, partisan, political activities. There is one group, however, that is organized specifically for such political activity. That group is the National Veterans Coalition.

1 The only way they can prevent you from participating in the political arena as a group is if you accept tax exempt status under one of the 501 rules. Otherwise bring it on.

2 Exactly why this coalition has formed.

3 OUCH!

On the more practical day to day living of dealing with this invasion, I'm trying to figure out how to grow my own food on a small plot that slopes quite steeply. I'm a hillbilly, though, so I'll find a way... at least until they tell me I no longer own my land at all because I have to give it to someone else more needy! I fully expect that to happen sometime in the near future.

4 You don't own your land. You rent it from the government. Go ahead, don't pay your rent (property taxes) and see what happens. Try and build a building without asking permission from your landlord (the government) and watch what they do.

5 Oh, I know that but it's going to get worse... you know eminent domain means they can come and take it for any reason they deem "necessary." Considering the influx of "immigrants" into this area, I'm figuring they'll start moving us out to make room for them.

There's not much on the National Veterans Coalition site. Is it new?

6 Yes, it's new.

And don't forget, "any reason" includes, well, anything at all, including increases in government coffers.
