And those guys are begging people to send them money…because they have families and all.

And if there IS violence, they will blame it on some freedom-hating liberal who snuck in…you know…just to make them look bad.

Well, if they are going to insist on following the Constitution, and they remove President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Speaker Boehner, the next in line is the President pro tempore of the Senate, Patrick Leahy (D) Vermont.

Look for 20-30 sad souls wandering the Washington Mall and asking strangers, “Are you here for the Patriot’s demonstration?”
I’m sure area lodgings would LOVE to have an extra million folks come visit and stay for a long time, but given the fact that the Cliven Bundy militia members are already pleading for financial support so they can protect Mr. Bundy’s range land from unspecified threats, I rather suspect the audience for this event isn’t one with deep pockets.
Maybe the Koch Brothers will buy free tents and Slim Jims.

They said not physically armed, but constitutionally armed. I would rule that out to mean, no baseball bats, but exercise your 2nd amendment rights.

We now have a clear understanding of exactly why retired Army Col. Harry Riley, retired at that rank of Col.
He has fixed delusions of grandeur.

Silly - they expect the government and the various government agencies to provide logistic for this event. Just like they will be using the transportation system initially put in place by the government to get there, burning fuel, flying in planes and driving cars produced by companies that get huge government subsides and government sponsored research to help these industries. And oh, yet again, BENGHAZI!

Yes you can. You don’t need both "l"s.
I still, to this day, haven’t gotten past the amazing cosmic coincidence that the last 1%er Republican nominee’s name was an actual anagram for R-Money. No extra letter needed. None needed to be left off. And it perfectly describes him, as a republican who represented the interests of money.

And you need an extra t. Maybe if Hannity and Hillary got together. And then you discarded a lot of extra letters.

As a reader of TPM since the days of Bush v Gore, I gotta say: you sure have been publishing an awful lot of bullshit “news” lately.

“A Call to all Eagles” - Haha, Jesus Christ these people are a parody of themselves.
How about: Eleventy-TRILLION Eagle Super Patriot March to Restore the Constitution and Benghazi Discussion Forum featuring Palin, Beck and Nugent book signing tour benefitting the NRA and FreedomWorks. Save the date super eagle patriot American patriot eagles! Constitution Benghazi.
It’ll be like a giant orgy for Fox News viewers, and like 150 people will actually show up and mostly embarrass themselves.

Bundyism will hold its charm up to the point where people are killed or seriously injured. It’s a solipsistic fantasy for adults, something most of us wouldn’t try to sustain after our tenth birthday.

I guess considering Rand Paul’s love of Civen Bundy no doubt he will be standing besides these ‘patriots’ too. . . . .

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING. MAY 16th 2014. DC
Dear Patriots across the United States,
The militias across the United States are responding and mobilizing to the call to protect our Republic. Operation American Spring is underway. Militia Commanders and Sargent of Arms have called me from all over the United States. Rules of Engagement (ROE’s) are now being requested.
Leadership ROE’s for the event Operation American spring scheduled for Friday May 16th 2014 in Washington DC.
All militia Commanders will take charge of their groups and establish communications and ensure good order and discipline. Follow your charters and established rules governing your militias.
ROE’s
(1) No weapons. No ammunition.
The Communist forces that control Washington DC do not recognize the 2nd Amendment and have banned all weapons and ammunition from the district. Do not give them the opportunity to arrest you and prosecute you. Leave your guns and ammo within the safe proximity of a free state. When the government is changed constitutionally so will the laws in Washington DC when we return our country back to a republic that recognizes the constitution. Bring Bibles and constitutions. Of course your 2nd Amendment Rights are God given and no man can disarm you but at this point we must follow the rules laid out by the Communists until we vote them out of office. You do have a right to self defense.
(2) Follow all rules of the road.
No running red lights, no speeding, no harassment of the Communist forces with your vehicles. Of course this does not preclude driving within the confines of the law which sometimes backs up, slows up, and or could congest the 40 roads that enter into Washington DC. Traffic does get backed up in most cities. Ensure some lanes are free and open for passage of emergency response vehicles. Perhaps the truckers and bikers would like to join us.
(3) Comply with all constitutional requests of local authorities.
If you don’t break the law you won’t get arrested. Follow the law. Keep it peaceful. No threats period. If a police officer engages you ask him or her If you are being detained and for what reason. Other than that say nothing else. You have 5th Amendment Rights. Do not intimidate but you do have a right to self defense if you are assaulted.
(4) Travel in groups of 4 or greater.
Stay in groups and do not leave your buddies Team up. Stay in your groups. Establish a chain of command and stick together.
That’s it.
This is a simple operational ROE. Keep it simple. Come unarmed. Bring plenty of water and establish a logistics chain for resupply of food and water. Militia uniforms welcome. Stand in formation and act as additional security for the civilians that will be on station. Medics and first aid kits a must.
I recommend militia groups get together and have local marches. Initiate county to county core groups and perhaps rally on their state capitals or local governments to create awareness before the event. This would act as a precursor to Operation American Spring. Work closely with your local sheriffs and local law enforcement. Just a suggestion.
Practice your ability to coordinate and resupply and learn the weak points from this mobilization. Treat this event as a peaceful, Constitutional occupation of Washington DC to ensure the Communist forces understand we are prepared to stay on station until Mr. Barry Soetoro has been impeached and or removed from office by the Congress and or Joint Chief’s of Staff for treason against the United States.
As you can understand I field a lot of phone calls. I don’t mind talking to each of you but when we are talking a million people this will not be possible. I do have a day job. Please follow me thus - friend me on Facebook (Geoff Ross Navarre) and also on the Save America Foundation website to track the event.
Lets have a good turn out. 1.8 million people are now mobilizing. It only takes 400,000 to occupy Washington DC. and shut down the forces inflicting tyranny upon us in the Republican and Democrat Party. Stay within the law of the 1st Amendment.
Enough is enough. Don’t fear anything. You have God and the constitution on your side. Feel free to Google my cell phone number and name if you wish to verify the voracity of my intent. The information you gather from this Google search will then solidify in your mind that this is real and I don’t take prisoners. Work within the law and lets roll.

So is the Government going to give these guys a pass just like they’ve done with every other group of right wing thugs?
Still amazed that the same Government that smashed Occupy is the same one that gives these right wing thugs pass after pass. These idiots should be arrested under the Force Acts of 1870, 1872, The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1872 and The Smith Act. They are plotting to overthrow the government and need to be treated as the criminals that they are!
