But this time I must respectfully disagree with you. Although there are undoubtedly political positions that Barrett and I share we also have differing perspectives in other areas. Nonetheless, his integrity and courage are beacons of hope and sources of inspiration that extend beyond party affiliation. It takes courage and commitment to stand up to local louts and swaggering fanatics. Barrett is setting a standard for all of us. The militia movement and Tea Partyesque members are not funny (even if they are ridiculous) and they can’t be dismissed with a snigger, or a latte sipping laugh. As befuddled as they are, their intentions are not a joke. Like all fanatics they are true believers. It is my hope that all candidates running for local office<b> </b>would be eager to inform voters if they support the militia movement, and whether or not they will work to achieve the goals of former <a href="http://sheriffmack.com/">Sheriff Mack</a> and his fellow travelers. <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Militia_movement">Rational Wiki</a> (see below ) nails the militia movement and it’s unholy alliances. The links at the bottom of this email are clickable and will provide V peeps primary documents about the political philosophy of these scrambled-brained folks. Once we called these characters Bubba or Junior; we thought they lived in the Ozarks and had chaw juice dribblin’ down their Z.Z Top chins. Now we call them candidates, neighbors, small business owners, and Tea Party Republicans. They live in our neck of the woods, waddle around in size 3X camouflage, and are magically equipped with “special” insights into the Constitution (that somehow elude the rest of us). They attach the descriptor “Freeman” to their name: i.e., <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJMk_vYMBsY&feature=related">Jeff Williams</a> Freeman is a militia affectation. (By the way, the link to Jeff Williams is a YouTube rant directed toward the Southern Poverty Law Center wherein he informs them that he is armed, brags about his concealed weapon permits from the states of Washington and Utah, and declares himself “dangerous” as far as they are concern.) It’s not just Idaho’s own <a href="http://www.facebook.com/5775LF">Lightfoot Militia</a> crowd that bellies up to the conspiracy bar, let’s also acknowledge the local efforts of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NorthwestRegionProjectAppleseed">Appleseed Project</a>, <a href="http://www.palouselibertyproject.com/aof.php">Palouse Liberty Project</a> and those ever bustling gals at the <a href="http://brushfirealliance.blogspot.com/">Brushfire Alliance</a>.

The movement was mostly active 1992-1996, and appears to be making a comeback as of 2011, though it is not as powerful as in the 1990s. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>They draw their name from the "well-regulated militia" clause of the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Second_Amendment" title="Second Amendment">Second Amendment</a> to the United States Constitution<sup id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Militia_movement#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup> (generally interpreted by others to mean bodies such as the National Guard and state police, assembled and regulated by the states or the Feds). While the militia movement does experience plenty of <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crank_magnetism" title="Crank magnetism">cross-pollination</a> with <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/White_nationalism" title="White nationalism">white nationalists</a>, <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anti-Semitism" title=Anti-Semitism>anti-Semites</a>, and other elements of the radical right, most observers view this as secondary to the movement's chief ideology -- indeed, during the movement's height in the '90s a number of black separatist groups took up the ethos of militias. The militia movement is heavily associated with, and infused with, <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Survivalism" title=Survivalism>survivalist</a> rhetoric about impending economic collapse and societal breakdown. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Many of these groups conversely view themselves (or frame themselves to the public) as groups of citizens organized and ready to be called on by local government when needed, and that private citizens' militias such as theirs were the "original intent" of the Founders for national defense and assistance with local law enforcement. This is a half-truth. While it is true that, historically, government agencies (from the local sheriff to the state) have called upon private citizens during times of emergency or temporarily deputized private citizens, and most state constitutions include definitions of the "unorganized militia" as all adult males (usually between a certain age range, 18 to 45) for this purpose, it is a leap of logic to conclude this sanctions the formation of private paramilitary organizations not organized by nor recognized by the government. The concept is "all adult males", not a private group of people holding decidedly fringe views proclaiming themselves "the" militia. Besides conspiracy theorists and survivalists, the movement also attracted a heavy dmixture of <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Whacker" title=Whacker>whackers</a> (although most of them left once it became clear the movement was also a magnet for dangerous anti-government paranoids like <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh" title="Timothy McVeigh">Timothy McVeigh</a>). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>After the Oklahoma City bombing, many of the casual hangers-on left the movement in droves, perhaps realizing it was a haven for the mentally unstable and potentially violent and in any case deciding they had cold feet and didn't want to be associated with it after all. This left a small hard core of true believers still in the movement. The finishing blow was <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/9/11" title="9/11">9/11</a>, which split the few remaining active militia groups into two camps; some militia leaders claimed that 9/11 was an <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories" title="9/11 conspiracy theories">inside job</a>, while others proclaimed their patriotism and offered their support in the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/War_on_Terror" title="War on Terror">War on Terror</a>. Furthermore, the presidency of <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">George W. Bush</a> and the political dominance of the conservative <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Republican_Party" title="Republican Party">Republican Party</a> meant that most of the movement's causes, such as illegal immigration, had a more respectable outlet in the form of political activism, causing the more mainstream (or at least less militant) members to leave and take up support of political efforts to implement their goals. This only further shrank the group's membership to the hard-right fringe. By around 2004 the militia movement had completely petered out as an organized political force. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Later in the 2000s, however, a confluence of factors led to a resurgence of far-right "Patriot" rhetoric about government oppression<sup id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Militia_movement#cite_note-4">[5]</a></sup>, restoring some mainstream interest in the militia movement. The seeds of this resurgence were planted mid-decade with anti-immigrant "<a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Secure_the_border" title="Secure the border">citizen border patrol</a>" groups like the Minuteman Project (no relation to the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Minutemen_%28organization%29" title="Minutemen (organization)">Minutemen</a> of the '60s), Ranch Rescue and their many copycats, which grabbed media attention with their armed patrols of the US-Mexico border. Starting in 2008-09, the economic crisis and the election of Democratic President <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> kicked the movement into high gear, leading to a resurgence of "traditional" anti-government militias. One group at the forefront of the new movement, the Oath Keepers, specifically recruits military and law enforcement personnel in the interests of "upholding the Constitution", with their list of ten "orders we will not obey" including two references to <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/FEMA_concentration_camps" title="FEMA concentration camps">concentration/detention camps</a> and one to foreign troops on US soil.<sup id="cite_ref-5"><a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Militia_movement#cite_note-5">[6]</a></sup> Meanwhile, many of <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Hutaree" title=Hutaree>the old anti-government plots</a> are once again coming out of the woodwork. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Most militia groups claim direct lineage from Revolutionary War groups such as the Minutemen, and at least a few claim to be available to their states for defense purposes. However, many, if not most, states have laws against private armies such as these or any sort of paramilitary organization not directly authorized by state or federal government. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Legally speaking, the National Guard (which is not any sort of citizen militia) is considered the "organized militia" under US federal law, a few states also have their own "organized militia" separate from the National Guard (the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Texas" title=Texas>Texas</a> State Guard is an example), and to the extent that there is a citizen (or "unorganized") militia, it is a concept found in state constitutions used to bridge a gap in federal law declaring all able-bodied males between 18 and 45 to be part of the "militia". Should the "unorganized militia" need to be called to service at the federal level, one might presume that the proper way to do so would be to enact a draft using the Selective Service infrastructure. Things in the US would probably have to be quite bad for it to get to this point. Historically, private citizens have been "drafted" (or "deputized") at the state or local level under the "militia" clause on a temporary basis, usually to help with emergency services, but while this was common in the 1800s it is very rare today.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The modern movement began at a 1992 meeting initiated by fringe preacher <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Peter_J._Peters" title="Peter J. Peters">Peter J. Peters</a> in Estes Park, <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Colorado" title=Colorado>Colorado</a>, although they appear to have taken some of their ideology and organizational tactics from two earlier movements, the 1970s/1980s <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_%28organization%29" title="Posse Comitatus (organization)">Posse Comitatus</a>, and the 1960s <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Minutemen_%28organization%29" title="Minutemen (organization)">Minutemen</a>. Peters' meeting was initiated in the wake of the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge" title="Ruby Ridge">Ruby Ridge</a> fiasco and he invited a large number of leaders from both mainstream evangelical Christian and political extreme right circles; most mainstream Christians blew him off, so the attendance wound up reading like a who's who of the extreme right. Among those in attendance were <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Aryan_Nations" title="Aryan Nations">Aryan Nations</a> leader Richard Butler; Texas <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan" title="Ku Klux Klan">Ku Klux Klan</a> leader Louis Beam; Chris Temple, who published the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Christian_Identity" title="Christian Identity">Christian Identity</a> newspaper <i>The Jubilee</i>; and attorney Kirk Lyons, who headed the CAUSE Foundation (a "pro-white" legal foundation which stands for Canada, Australia, United States, South Africa, and Europe). The purpose of the meeting was to figure out what to do to make sure a Ruby Ridge didn't happen again. Their solution: form citizens militias. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>However, the movement quickly spiraled out of control - and out of the control of the extreme right leaders who initiated it. As with many such movements, the founders talked up the militia concept but then stepped out of the way and went back to what they had been doing before once the ball got rolling. The movement quickly attracted a different set of unstables and unknowns who saw the militia movement as a way to make a name for themselves: <o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Michigan" title=Michigan>Michigan</a> janitor Mark Koernke, who called himself "Mark from Michigan".
