On January 29th County Sheriff's from around the nation gathered for a 3-day symposium regarding their role and duties in standing against tyranny in the United States. "Peace Officers Uniting To End State And Federal Tyranny" was not a group of strange extremists, but rather sober-minded Law Enforcement Officers that are increasingly concerned about Federal encroachment on state and local rights and laws.
The county sheriff has the power to constrain Federal authorities. If this power had been exercised appropriately in Waco, Texas the killing of the Branch Davidians may not have occurred because the Feds would have been reined in. Some counties are reiterating to the Federal government their mandate that any Federal agency must coordinate with them and have local approval before any Federal exercise is conducted. The old saying that "good fences make good neighbors" applies here, and sheriffs can still exercise their authority to ensure local citizens retain their sovereignty and freedom.
What does Weld County Sheriff John Cooke think of these proceedings? How will his successor stand for these liberties? Cooke has been solid in many ways as Weld County sheriff, and has supported the 2nd Amendment and our right to keep and bear arms. Was he in Vegas? Does he support these views? Those are questions worth asking to either him, or those campaigning to take his place when he steps down.
Police State USA. Throw more money at them and they will throw more force at you. Throw more money at them and they will look through your walls. Throw more money at them, and they will put you on a watch list.
Listen to this podcast, better than any talk radio.

We have two who have announced their willingness to run for sheriff after Cooke is done in 2014. Both have R's following their names, one the female former undersheriff is a RINO, the other a staunch conservative that believes in the constitution. Look for a stunning race with the constitutionalist winning if the country hasn't collapsed in 2013.

The other day, while locating HongKong ont eh globe with my son, he noticed the USA is many colors. He sai dhis teacher told him all green areas are Colorado. I explained to him that he misunderstood his teacher. The different colors simply make it easier to determine State borders. That is when it dawned on me. Every Federal law tends to wash out the various colors. Eventualy the entire Untied States will be 1 shade of red, similar to Russia, if the Feds are not stopped. On a simialr vein, if the State of Colorado is not slowed, the Counties and Cities will disappear. Furthermore, if Government is not used for its ony purpose; to stop violence, theft and fraud ,all boundaries will be abolished and the corrupt will reign supreme.
