I have been told many times how America is a nation built off of law. We as citizens have the honor, duty, and responsibility to pay for our system of government, and all the various personnel involved too, of course. They each have particular functions they are assigned to, being it a secretary, a Forest Ranger, or perhaps a FBI agent. Some of these jobs are in fact hazardous. Some positions can be fatal at times, and so we pay them for the hazards we ask them to face. Policemen are paid rather well, because they face such a threat daily.
I as an American citizen I thoroughly respect these stalwarts who defend us as common citizenry, and I have no problem whatsoever towards being taxed to pay for their services. Of course, the same is true for our military and others who face the possibility of their lives being the heavy price paid for enforcing our laws. Laws that only come into being through a constitutionally approved process that sees legislation being enacted. No nation can stand if their citizenry can simply disregard laws. As a society, total anarchy would run rampart if no laws were to be enforced.
Currently in Oregon, a group of dissenters of the policies of the BLM have, through threat of arms, taken physical control of U.S. controlled buildings and preserve. Our nation has sent FBI agents to monitor the situation. Excuse me, what? Monitor…? What ever happened to “Put your arms up, you are under arrest”? If I were to walk out my front door with a rifle slung over my shoulder, and I tried to take over my local city hall, you can bet every dime you have I would either be dead by nightfall, or in jail waiting to see the judge the next morning.
What are we paying these FBI agents for? Are they not charged with, and have they not sworn to perform their duties necessary to enforce and carry out our laws? Why is this still on going, at a terrible waste of our tax dollars? I can easily think up about 70 years worth of felonies being committed, not even counting the now thief of government files through computer data theft because one hacked into the computers. Ammon Bundy, as the instigator looks at even more years behind bars.
When are our laws, that I myself have to abide to, going to be enforced is what I want to know. When are the cost going to come to an end. They have used BLM vehicles without permission (grand theft auto), they have cut fence lines (we have to pay for it’s replacement as tax payers), they have clearly committed seditious conspiracy (two or more persons taking government buildings by threat of force), and have openly taken arms against the nation (sedition) which if they fire at any officer, rises to the level of treason. What more do they have to do before the very people we pay to enforce our laws, DO THEIR DAMN JOBS?
I am sick of watching a bunch of wannabe soldiers who are trying to coerce my nation to forego our laws, our responsibility to enforce such laws, and threaten not only my country, but the thing that makes us who we are, our Constitution.
I have never written anything like this in my lifetime. And still, at 63 years of age I only do so now as I have no other avenue to express this demand to our government, our federal employees, and our courts
. AS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN, ONE WHO HELP PAY YOUR WAGES THROUGH MY TAXES, WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE WORDS “EQUALLY UNDER THE LAW” MEAN… I FORMALLY DEMAND THAT YOU PERFORM YOUR DUTIES, HONOR YOUR OATH TO OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE LAWS OF THIS NATION, AND YOU ARREST THOSE INVOLVED, TERMINATING THIS OPEN THREAT TO OUR NATION. EARN YOUR MONEY, OR GIVE UP YOUR JOB.
