Alan recently appeared on the Life with Liz radio show. We talked about two things– 1) the messaging app our committee uses to remind folks of upcoming meetings and 2) the outrageous article in New Hampshire Public Radio and (Seacoast online) which published the names of prominent NH residents who were members of the website OathKeepers. (This segment starts at the 24 minute mark.)

NH Public Radio smeared everyone as potential domestic terrorists who want nothing more than to overthrow the government, which of course they think is wonderful.

“This article is shameful. It violates the basic principal of freedom of association and paints all the members as if they are right-wing wackos.”

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders (as well as “Associate Members” See below) who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” That oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution itself, is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and Oath Keepers declare that they will not obey unconstitutional orders, such as orders to disarm the American people, to conduct warrant-less searches, or to detain Americans as “enemy combatants” in violation of their ancient right to jury trial. See the Oath Keepers Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey for details.
