By Judge Andrew Napolitano What if Memorial Day reminds us of times when we had more freedom? What if freedom is dying right under our eyes? What if the memory of the past is more fulfilling than the reality of the present? What if the federal government could write any law, regulate any behavior and tax any event, no matter what the Constitution authorized? What if the majority in Congress rejects the idea of limited government and views the Constitution as granting it blanket power to do whatever it can get away with? What if the constitutional prohibition on the government’s taking of life, liberty or property without due process of law is only for show and is not for real? What if the House of Representatives seriously considered letting the military lock up whatever Americans the president ordered the troops to arrest, without charges filed or lawyers present or a judge presiding? What if the House seriously debated this idea of indefinite military detention of Americans in America and actually voted in favor of it? What if this unconstitutional monstrosity becomes the law and your right to due process depends on whether you remain with the majority, stay silent…

In a stunning upset for the Obama administration and big-government zealots in general, a federal judge in New York has issued an injunction against the citizen detention portion of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Bob Unruh at World Net Daily has the story. “A district-court judge has suspended enforcement of a law that could strip U.S. citizens of their civil rights and allow indefinite detention of individuals President Obama believes to be in support of terror. “The Obama administration has refused to ensure that the First Amendment rights of authors and writers who express contrary positions or report on terror group activities are protected under his new National Defense Authorization Act. “Targeted in the stunning ruling from U.S. District Judge Katherine B. Forrest of New York was Paragraph 1021 of the NDAA, which Obama signed into law last Dec. 31. The vague provision appears to allow for the suspension of civil rights for, and indefinite detention of, those individuals targeted by the president as being in support of terror. “Virginia already has passed a law that states it will not cooperate with such detentions, and several local jurisdictions have done the same. Arizona, Rhode Island, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee and…

ATTENTION…Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, there will be NO Rock River Patriots Meeting this Friday May 25th.  Many of our members will be out of town on for the holiday weekend.  We pray everyone has a enjoyable and safe weekend. We will resume our normal meetings again in June.  On June 8th, we will discuss the election results, and view the documentary by the 10th Amendment Center, “Nullification”.  On June 22nd, we plan on welcoming back “J.C.” to conclude his presentation on Islam.  If you missed the first session, come to this one.  We will review the first presentation briefly, and the continue on with new material. Other Upcoming Events…This does not constitute an endorsement of any candidate. The Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Daily Jefferson County Union and WFAW are co-hosting a candidates forum for the June 5th Recall Election for the State Senate District 13 seat. The forum will be held in the Jefferson High School Gym on Wednesday May 23rd at 7:00 p.m. Candidates will be allowed three minutes for opening remarks and three minutes for closing remarks. The rest of the time will be given to candidates to answer questions sent by…

Just a reminder…make sure you get out to vote in the WI recall primary Tuesday May 8th.  Because this is a recall election, it is different from the other primaries.  In this primary you CAN CROSS THE TICKET to vote on both the Republican and Democrat sides of the ballot.  In regular primary elections you cannot do this.  However, you can still only vote once per elected office.  This means in the primary for governor, you must either vote on the Republican or Democrat side, not both. (NOTE: The following example is not an endorsement of any particular candidate.  The Rock River Patriots do not endorse candidates.) For example, if you choose to vote for Gov. Walker in the Republican recall primary, you may still vote in the Democrat primary for the recall candidate or their “fake” democrat opponents.  The “fake” democrat candidates for this area are Gary Ellerman, from Lake Mills, running against Lori Compass, who is the recall organizer for Sen. Scott Fitzgerald.  The “fake” democrat for the Lt. Governor recall primary is Issac Weix, running against Madison Firefighter’s Union president Mahlon Mitchel and Democrat Ira Robins. The winners from this primary will move on to the general…

Here are a couple of articles that may be of interest to some.  We recognize these are provocative and “upstream”.  We are not saying that we are “sold” on what each article alleges.  We want to provide the information so you can do your own research, and draw your own conclusions.

Bill Allows IRS To Revoke Second Amendment Rights By Stealth This bill has passed the U.S. Senate and maybe voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives this Friday.  Contact your congressional representatives and tell them to vote “NO” on  bill S. 1813. Congress Set to Invade Your Privacy Again On Thursday, Congress is scheduled to begin consideration of H.R. 3523, the “Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011” (CISPA). This bill is the next great threat to our privacy over the Internet, but unlike the fight against SOPA and PIPA, Internet giants like Facebook and Twitter are openly supporting CISPA.  Contact your congressional representatives and tell them to vote “NO” on H.R. 3523.

We have presented this information once before in our meetings via PowerPoint presentation.  It is good to see that other people have picked up on this issue.  We are on the verge of becoming a Communist dictatorship.  Virtually all of the planks are at some stage of implementation. Are We Headed Toward the Constitution or the Communist Manifesto? This Breakdown Tells You Is America Embracing the 10 Tenets of the Communist Manifesto?

This is a reminder of our meeting this Friday April 27th at 6:00pm in Fort Atkinson at the Dwight Foster Library, 209 Merchants Ave.  We welcome speaker and author “J.C.”, a former Iraqi Kurd to speak about his life in the Middle East, his religious conversion to Christianity, and about Islam. About “J.C.” Author and speaker “J.C.” was born in Kurdistan, in northern Iraq. As a child, he witnessed the violence of the government of Baghdad practiced against his people when his elder brother’s lifeless body was brought back to his parents. His experience with socialist dictatorship formed his political conscience. During the Gulf War, “J.C.” was forced to flee Iraq not once, but twice and eventually came to America as a political asylee. “J.C.” grew up as a Muslim, adhering to the practices of the Sunni division of Islam. The teachings of Islam influenced and molded his theological thinking, but never took a hold of his spirit. Hence, as a teenager he began searching for an answer to the eternal questions of life. “J. C.” lost his faith in religion and metaphysical answers after reading the “Theory of Evolution,” by Charles Darwin. In the late 90’s, through Operation Safe…

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9d80FsWuEQ] This bill was signed in secret by the President in March of 2012.  When we say we have all of the pieces in place for a “turn-key dictatorship”, this is further proof.  Have we become a third world nation where despots control what is seen and heard? Let’s see who voted for this terrible piece of legislation: HR 347 Vote Tally All of the WI Congressional Reps voted for this bill.  The U.S. Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent, so there is no record of how they voted on it.  However, all it would have took was for a Senator to object and ask for a roll call vote. This is disgraceful!!!

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday April 13th at 6pm in Fort Atkinson at the Dwight Foster Library in their community room.  The Dwight Foster Library is located at 209 Merchants Avenue. At this meeting we will discuss current events, issues, and initiatives.  We will discuss the recent election results and listen to a brief presentation on the “Turn-Key Dictatorship” that is appearing all around us.  This will be a meeting with a lot of information and should not be missed.
