The legislators vowed to go to Boise with an agenda of drafting and passing legislation that would prevent the federal government from encoraching on  the gun rights of its citizens.  Similar promises are being made by legislators across the American Redoubt, and elsewhere across the country.  Sheriffs as well, are proactively announcing that they will NOT enforce any new federal restrictions on our God-given rights and some go so far as to say they will arrest anyone who attempts to enforce any new federal firearms laws. (See Sheriff Wheeler’s (Bonner County, ID) statement below.

There were a LOT of listeners at the event, as well as lots of folks who picked up RFR flyers and heard of Radio Free Redoubt for the first time.  Welcome aboard.  Estimates of those in attendance place the numbers at approximately 1,400.  Wow!  Thank you, patriots!

Although I couldn’t personally attend the event (I was out of town), we had a couple RFR reporters documenting the event.  We’ll have more on that throughout the week.  Keep checking back!

Redoubters, Listeners and RFR supporters making the news!

Sheriff Wheeler’s Response to President Obama’s Executive Actions

January 17, 2013

Sheriff Wheeler Sworn In For A Second Term January 14, 2013 this last Monday, before a small group of friends and family.

“I took an oath to uphold  the U.S. Constitution, the Idaho State Constitution and the laws of Idaho.  Nowhere in my oath did I agree to uphold the arbitrary wishes of a President who strays outside his Constitutional authority.  On January 16th, it was reported in the media that President Barak Obama signed 23 Executive Orders.  This is not so.  President Obama signed 23 “Executive Actions.”  These so called “Executive Actions” are nothing more than 23 suggestions which do not have the force of law.  This is nothing more than a Presidential Christmas “wish list” that he passed along to Congress for their approval.

Even though these “Executive Actions” do not constitute real law, the President has directed the Federal Agencies to carry them out.  The Department of Justice, the A.T.F., the Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the General Services Administration, the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security have all been tasked to carry out his wishes.  He is also dove-tailing all his actions and attempting to restrict gun ownership by changing the rules within the Affordable Care Act.

So now that you know that, I urge you to push back by contacting your Idaho representatives on all levels, local, state and federal.  Let’s not lose any ground.  The law enforcers and the law makers need to be on the same page.

I believe that in order for the President to carry out his plans, he needs the approval of Congress.  This is where you come in.  I urge you to push back now by contacting your Idaho representatives on all levels, local, state and federal. The threat to your 2nd Amendment Rights will most likely come to your mailbox through a questionnaire in the mail, not a knock on your door.  These regulations will most likely be tied to Federal dollars sent to you as an individual.  Please contact this office immediately if you are threatened.  I can’t do anything if I don’t know what is happening.  Above all, keep your cool!  I will come when you call. You can be assured my office will uphold and protect your 2nd Amendment rights.”

Sheriff Daryl Wheeler

Thank you, to all who worked your arses off putting this event together.  And thank you to the Oath Keepers and all of you who recommitted and re-took your oaths.  May the Lord go with all of you!
