OFF THE WIRE
Dear Friends,
On May 5, 2011, a 26 year old Marine Vet was EXECUTED by SWAT (harsh word - but I think it fits!) He left behind a wife and two kids, ages 4 and 6.
I attended a memorial service that was coordinated by Oath Keepers and was held in Tucson yesterday, Memorial Day. The justice-seeking hero is Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers. He has been absolutely relentless in his effort to make right what can never be repaired! This never should have happened in the U.S. Here's one of the local news reports of the memorial service/protest:

At the memorial service was the Sons of Liberty Riders, Tucson chapter. As motorcyclists - and especially those of us with certain patches - we know that law officers can get unruly. A big THANK YOU to this motorcycle club! Had more people known about this, I'm sure more would have shown up.
In Las Vegas, many of you know that we have had our own fair share of violence against the citizens (it's called tyranny!) There was the Trevon Cole, an African American man that was shot dead in front of his pregnant wife over a marijuana bust. But these stories rarely make national news - at least not to the degree that a crazy man shot a judge - right in the same county where this Marine Vet lived. But when it's thugs with guns and badges killing us, the media seems to give them a "pass." This Marine made it home safely after surviving two tours of duty abroad.... only to get murdered by authorities in his own country. That's a disgrace !!
Please join me in contacting national news organizations to cover this story. To educate yourself, here's a link to a blog that gave a great report: http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-did-police-kill-my-dad.html.
Here's a link to a list of national Fox News emails. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77538,00.html
If anyone has a list of other emails handy, please provide to me and I'll blast the info out to everyone.
Thank you all for any involvement you can share.
