"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-- John F. Kennedy

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. - Tench Coxe

MILITIAS ARE NOT ANTI-GOVERNMENT. The citizen Militias of the United States are not opposed to our government. We do not advocate its overthrow. The vast majority of Militia members love their country, as well as the Republic which was established by the Founding Fathers. Indeed, our highest political precepts are built on the bedrock of constitutional doctrines; the Constitution of the United States (including the Bill of Rights) is our highest earthly law. We are opposed to tyranny, yes. But the U.S. government itself is not our enemy. It has never been our enemy.

THOSE WHO ACCUSE US of being "anti-government" and "extremist" organizations are liars. We are no more extreme than Thomas Jefferson, who had the highest praise for Militias as a bulwark of freedom. And--- like Thomas Jefferson--- we have the deepest love for this system of government which was created for the purpose of protecting our liberties. Remember: one of the primary reasons our government was established was for the protection of individual liberty
