Oath Keepers to Place Billboard Outside Ft. Leavenworth to Protest Small Wars Journal Article Demonizing Tea Party as Future “Enemy” of U.S. Military
Oath Keepers is putting up a billboard right outside the main gate of Ft. Leavenworth Kansas to respond directly to the Small Wars Journal article by Leavenworth instructor Colonel Kevin Benson which paints the Tea Party movement as a future military opponent during domestic CONUS operations by the U.S. military. You can read more on that article here and here. Here is the billboard we are putting up:

Since Colonel Benson has chosen to demonize the Tea Party movement, by using the Tea Party as the “bad guys”- along with militias – in his hypothetical scenario of future domestic military operations, and since he is apparently using his position at Ft. Leavenworth to brainwash young officers into thinking that the Tea Party is a potential future enemy they will have to fire upon, we feel it is crucial to counter his propaganda in as direct a manner as possible, sending a clear message not just to him, but to his students there at Ft. Leavenworth and to all others stationed there, and to the broader Army. Those young officers need to understand that if they fire on fellow Americans, permitting themselves to be used as tools of oppression, and if they participate in martial law on U.S. soil, then they will become the new “red coats”and will be desecrating and destroying all that generations of American fighting men have bled and died to secure – our liberty.
We stand in defense of the rights of all Americans, but since Colonel Benson has chosen to name the Tea Party members in particular as possible future military enemies during domestic operations, we are coming to the defense of the Tea Party in this case.
Oath Keepers is also launching a national campaign to put similar billboards outside of military bases across the United States. We were planning on starting with Camp Lajeune, North Carolina or Ft. Stewart Georgia, but Colonel Benson’s outrageous and dangerous article in the Small Wars Journal compelled us to make Ft. Leavenworth the first base for our billboard campaign.
The billboard will cost an estimated $1,650.00v for the set-up and two months rent. Oath Keepers Lifetime Member Richard Allison has already stepped up and donated $500.00 for this billboard. He met Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes during his trip to Minnesota, and when Stewart showed Richard the mock up for the billboard, Richard pulled out his wallet and slapped down five one-hundred dollar bills to get this project rolling. Thanks Richard! You set an excellent example for others to follow. So now, we only need $1,150.00 to put this billboard up. Once we reach that amount, we will continue to raise funds for other billboards outside of military bases across the United States. All donations for the billboards will be used exclusively for that purpose. Please click on the chip-in link below to donate to help fund this campaign, starting with this Ft. Leavenworth billboard:

Oath Keepers of Kansas, lead by Richard Fry, who is also Patriot Coalition General counsel, have secured the billboard, which is 3/4 of a block outside the main gate at Ft. Leavenworth. Oath Keepers of Kansas will also secure a billboard outside of Ft. Riley, Kansas, where the famous 1st Infantry Division (the “Big Red One”) is stationed, and we will place a more general “honor your oath” billboard there. That Ft. Riley billboard will cost an estimated $1,000.00 for two months.
Below are mock-ups of billboards we will use outside of Marine Corps bases and Army bases. We will start with combat arms troops, but will also do billboards outside of bases for all branches, including outside of Air Force bases where Predator Drone “pilots” work. This is just the beginning. The ultimate goal is billboards outside of every base in America.

Obama and his handlers are attacking from all directions but thank God we have forces that are countering from all directions. The battle is joined with the evil White House as they are reacting as a cornered, defeated wild animal...unpredictable beyond more evil tactics.
Support Oath Keepers if you can......this particular effort is a needed response.
Obama has received the message.........his usurper status in "we the people's" house is just a few months to eviction...God help American citizens that supported Obama in 2008 to acknowledge reality, recognize an error and cast a vote to remove the threat to the United States Constitution, freedom, liberty, and move back toward a moral, constitutional America.
Long live a restored constitutional United States of America.
Amen Harry and Amen to the Oath Keepers.
Amen Colonel. Thanks for the inspiration...as always.
I made my meager donation but I know that every little bit helps.
I don't know if our US Military men will fire on Americans trying to honor their oaths or not, but I do know that Obama damned sure would. I may be broke and poor but I'll find something somewhere to donate. I AM one of the oath keepers.
What about the rest of you out there ? Find $10 bucks somewhere or quit running your mouths off.
Harry, Please answer me this question if you can,i ask it on behalf of myself but i know there are millions who would like the answer with a response demanding action but not to be left unanswered.
Question: Do we the American people have the right to question the qualifications of someone who is running for the office of the president of the United States of America?
Question: Is the candidate required by law to prove his eligibility or does he have the right as a representative of the people to be to seal his records.
I think we know the the answers,but who,s job is it to tell us the truth without fabrication.?
You know the answers..........in my opinion there are several elements of government that should be ensuring candidates meet qualifications for office being sought.
We have Governors, legislatures, and courts that should be validating State and Federal candidate qualifications for office.
Our Founding Fathers made it clear as to their disdain for potential evil infiltrators into American political office in the US Constitution and other writings. This is clear in Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution regarding presidential candidate qualification. Barack Obama inserted himself into the candidate picture for president and no one, no one would listen to me and hundreds if not thousands of other public voices as to his criminal past and unqualified status to serve as president.
America has supervisors of elections, Secretaries of State, Supreme Courts, legislatures, and other entities but none will assume the duty of protector of the United States Constitution. We are a nation adrift, without a rudder that is reliable, faithful, and legal........we can change that in November with determination and heartfelt prayer.
I am angry to the point of biting and spitting pieces of nails.......long suffering must endure until victory on November 6, 2012.
Ok What,s the next step do we sit back and do nothing or what exactly do we do we do???? If i sound frustrated you are exactly correct,our weapons are lock and loaded,our letters are written and yet the domestic enemy continues with his destruction and defiance of our constitution with no visible resistance and the hands of time seem unstopable.
I think if we wait till November more Americans will continue to be arrested,killed and persecuted while the so called protectors of our constitution sit back and do nothing,i truly believe that everyone of us who reaches out to those who don,,t know the truth about obuma are making a difference,but we need to do more and we need to do it now. I ask anyone who is listening,What more can i do,i can no longer sit back and watch the destruction of this my country..Vietnam vet 1969-1970.199th LIB.
Joe.........none of us "sit back and watch the destruction of this country"... We are doing everything we can do as a lawful, constitutional nation. We have people in government that violate and ignore the US Constitution, but we don't. The Constitution is as alive today as it was at it's adoption. The ballot box rules...if that fails then all is lost in my opinion...and then the next step which those of us that have been in combat dread to see happen in America.
At this point, we have 60 some days until the election......we don't want to do anything driven by emotion that would give Obama a reason to declare martial law, suspend elections, etc.......
We're all frustrated, angry, but "we the people" are still law abiding citizens and that means we honor our Constitution and vote the criminals out of office.
Harry, You are correct in that none of us are sitting back and doing nothing,for clarification you mentioned legislators,government watch dogs etc; of those i feel are the one,s we do not hear from,and when we do it seems as though they have no back bone to do what is right.I respect we are a nation of laws but it seems as though the law breakers have become victorious ,my faith is in God and those who believe in the American way of life as we know it,i want my children and grandchildren to experience the America of 1776 and to know many have tried to rob us of our freedom and liberties ,thanks for reminding me that this is just an other bump in the road and it to will behind us,no matter what it takes. Joe
I'm with you Joe...we're in this together.......we pray for the best and be prepared for the worst.......
