Oath Keepers

It has been a long standing believe of mine that if our military, police, and fire-fighters protect the peoples rights as defined in the United States Constitution we as a country, in the long run, will be fine. It has been my experience though that some in our military, and policemen especially do what they are told instead of honoring their oath to protect and defend the Constitution and to protect the people against all enemies foreign and domestic. Just think of what happened in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina. Guns were taken, sometimes at the point of a gun, from people who lawfully had a right to own them and were using them for protecting themselves, their families, and their livelihoods from cheating, lying, thieves. Does that sound right to anyone else? To take away peoples right under the Second Amendment to the Constitution to lawfully own a gun and protect themselves and others?
On September 12, 2009 my Nephew went to Washington D.C. along with 1.5 million other people to protest the taking by our own government the rights of its own people. My Nephew brought back a card from a group called Oath Keepers and what follows is the oaths they would like for the Military, Veterans, Police, and Fire-Fighters to keep on the back of their cards. I have not done any kind of research on Oath Keepers but I liked most of what was on this card. If anyone has any information on them let me know. Let me know also what you think of what follows.
