I hope this never happens but there is a questiion that should be answered especially for one in the military. I have yet to get a good answer.

Where is the line separating fighting for the Constitution and the people against an insurrection on one side, and on the other side between fighting for the Constitution and the people against a tyrant acting under color of law?

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, as it was originally written and intended by the founding fathers of this country, one nation, under God,with liberty and justice for all legal citizens

I further pledge to defend, and uphold The Constituion against ALL enemies, foriegn or domestic, with my life, so help me God.

Chris, I really like the substitution of the word 'flag' with the word 'Constitution'. Is that your idea. It is a 'new pledge' that says it all for me! Would it be okay for me to use that phrase?

I pledge allegiance to THE CONSTITUTION of the United States of America, as originally written and ratified by our nation's founding fathers, and as legally amended by the citizens.

I solemnly swear that I will support and defend THE CONSTITUTION from all enemies, both foreign and especially domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I will endeavor to hold accountable those who would subvert or distort its meaning.

To this end I devote my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, that the United States of America will forever remain one nation under God, a free people.

I would hope that this organization could supply answers to your question, Gregg. They give me hope that the military will never cave in to the demands and illegal orders of a traitorous administration.

I guess I am "running late", but so glad I founf and read James C. Coleman's Comments ( 'Pledge to the Constitution')posted 11/12/2009 !! The "pledge" he shared was NOT aimed at being substituted for "The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag"....but an extention of our committment to our Country. Thank you so much, Mr. Coleman.

After being elected as a member of our local County Commission in Sept. 2002, I took "The Oath". I served until 2006...but I am STILL bound by that oath and will die under that Oath

Gregg, I don't mean this to sound simplistic but as a 22-year retired veteran, I would say that the line IS the Constitution. If you're "fighting for the Constitution" as you said in both of your examples, then your choice will be obvious because only one side will be doing the same. It's a great question because I believe that in this day and age, more than any other in our history, it is vital that every military person have this issue settled in his or her mind. I take it that you're in the military. Good for you for asking yourself the question now rather than later.

I believe that you don't have to be in the military to swear oath to uphold, preserve and defend the constitution and hold accountable those who would serve to violate or subvert it's meaning. We must all pledged oath and stand ready to defend "The Constitution" with our property, our very lives and sacred honor as our founding fathers once did. With GOD's "Grace" and "Benevolent Hand" we just might survive this "progressive" onslaught.

I once was a republican, now I am a Constitutionalist. If they don't go by the law of the land, the vote them out.We can't get them in one elections but our persistance can get them in multiple elections.

It is really a shame that one person wants to have HIS own constitution in effect and ruin our country. Our constitution was written by rightous men who fought for our freedoms. This person in office who has not followed his oath and wants to banish our freedoms needs to be repudiated and voted out of office period! Little by little the government is taking our freedoms away and most of the public does not even know it or really care. So SAD!!!

I firmly believe that our Constitution is a divinely inspired document and that America "is the last best hope for freedom loving people on earth". God preserved this nation for freedom loving people and for his purposes. Americans are blessed to be citizens and with that comes a responsibility to preserve the Constitution. We owe a great debt to those who have gone before who have given their "lives and fortunes" in defense of that Constitution. God help us if we don't wake-up and fight for our freedom.

Obama and his minions are in the midst of a bloodless coups de'tat. We are kidding ourselves if we think otherwise. Naturally, subterfuge and deceipt are the primary tools of such a takeover and change of our beloved country. After they create a "good enough crisis," I would not doubt they will tell us we need to replace the Constitution - and that it would be the patriotic and modern thing to do. At what point do we ALL proclaim the Leftists are not only violating their sacred oaths of office to "protect and defend the Constitution," but that they have become enemies of the State? (Hint: the time is NOW).

At the moment, we are at war. Both literally, and philosophically. The war overseas is easy to see, and the war at home is also just as obvious. What is not as obvious is that while the Republicans try to wage war by somewhat following the rules, the Democrats will ignore all rules when it gets down to the point of desperation.

Why is not any attention paid as to how destructive this bill really is? Why does the press still ignore the destruction of our future, the shredding of our Constitution, the loss of our Liberty, and the socialist agenda of this administration? Why does the press not realize that once the tyrants completely take over our government, they will then also take over the press?

During the Cold War, a communist in the White House would have been front page news in every newspaper in the free world. We’ve come a long way from the Founding.

There has been a lot of talk of late of an armed overthrow of our current administration…this is a direct result of the actions of the present administration, therefore if there is any blame for violence, it rests squarely in the present administration. Please do not get me wrong, I do not condone violence of any kind, but our Constitution plainly states that it MY RESPONSIBILITY to overthrow tyranny. I am not saying that this overthrow is imminent, but if you listen closely, you can hear the chambering of the rounds…

you can hear the chambering of the rounds….

Let Freedom Reign

The founders of this republic pledged their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor." These were duties of the ultimate order, with signatures affixed prominently to the Declaration of Independence to secure the rights to private property, due process, and freedom of speech. The signers of the Declaration knew that the stakes were enormous and the outcome doubtful. Those pledging announced that the rights to be secured and defended were neither trivial nor non-negotiable. Shared and significant duties came first and were willingly underwritten because the commensurate rights were fundamental and worth securing and defending.

So when the duty-bound run out of money, what happens to ObamaCare? Will the duty-bound gradually fail to show up and, like David Farr of Emerson Electric, pull up stakes and go elsewhere? Or will they simply refuse to part with the remainder of their dwindling savings, investments, and capital needed to finance the bottomless pit of entitlements?

For decades, liberals have insisted that democracy cannot be imposed on reluctant inhabitants of developing countries through the barrel of an M-16. Yet they are quite willing to destroy rights and impose duties through the enforcement powers of the IRS on a nation of reluctant American citizens....

It's easy for beneficiaries of ObamaCare to pledge someone else's "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" as the guarantor.

It's a shame the president is on a ego trip, and to make it worse so many have signed into it. I don't know how they expect these programs will work, when only so few are paying the way. Government has to be made accountable.. "NOW" I wonder where these people expect to live in this country. But I really don't want them in my back yard if we go thru hard

times.

I will be 69 years old my next birthday and I am a Christian, conservative republican in that order. I have seen many presidents and administrations come and go I have no respect for the current one. I was taught, early on, to love my country, respect and defend the constitution and the office of the president of the United States of American. I was not taught to respect the person occupying the office, which I do not!

In my lifetime (78+) years there were two visual scenes I will never forget; the last helicopter out of Saigon, circa 1975; and the members of the U.S. Senate in the well of that chamber, lining up to pledge impartiality in the trial of Bill Clinton after he was impeached by the House of Representatives circa 1998-99. I believe the dishonorable foreign policy and domestic policy actions of our elected Congress were on full display then. Recent events show that nothing has changed! Oh the shame. November 2010 can't get here soon enough.

I have made this pledge every month since I was a boy!

"We descendants of the heroes of the American Revolution who, by their sacrifices, established the United States of America, reaffirm our faith in the principles pf Liberty and our Constitutional Republic, and solemnly pledge ourselves to defend them against every foe!

I will defend my country and fellow citizens from any threat be it our own government or people. The time is growing near for segregation from the laws that have governed our nation into the condition we have become. I stand ready and willing to give my life to regain the freedom my children and theirs so deserve. This Obama is no president in my eyes, and though he has been elected because of do proses, I have no respect nor honor to him or this present government of thieves and liars. I have worked hard my entire life as a blue collard man, take pride in providing to our system if the system is fare, but they have crossed the line at this time telling me I MUST GIVE THEM MY HARD EARNED DOLLARS for a bunch of people that set on there asses and spend my money for me. I stood in line at my local grocers a few months ago with my rice, potatoes and three day old chicken that was on Manager special price, as I was behind a black woman with steaks, piled high, pre made meals, shrimp, ice-cream, and several other what I consider luxuries, her entire cart filled to the point she couldn't fit another item, and now mind you her hair was perfect, gold chains, finger nails well manicured, well dressed, and probably had a nice car in the parking lot, and dam if she didn't pull out an independence card (free government food card) and payed for her groceries. Well I had to say something and I am glad I did, I said " Your welcome", well she began to call me a honkey red neck piece of shit. My response was clear and direct and non racial as I rebutted and said " I just payed $640.00 dollars in federal taxes in the past two weeks which pays for your meals, so your welcome. Makes me sick that I work and my children don't eat as well as the ones that don't. My time has come.

A dying American

Andrew Eifert

In a court of law, one under oath and is found to be lying, is sent to prison. ( perjury ) lying under oath

Why is it that we can’t put those in Government, which lie, in prison?

I TOOK THIS OATH MANY YEARS AGO AND I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND CRIPPLED UP BUT I AM STILL READY TO DIE FOR MY GOD AND MY COUNTRY IF I NEED TO. THE WAY I SEE THINGS TODAY. I MIGHT HAVE TO GET ON MY SCOOTER AND GO TO WASHINGTON AND FULFILL MY OATH AND DEFEND MY COUNTRY. FOR MY GRANCHILDREN AND GREATGRANDCHILDERN.

I WILL STAND WE YOU UNTIL MY LAST DYING BREATH.

John Hart, my grandfather 8 generations back signed the Declaration of Independence, lost his farm and family; Uncle Gordon Miller, KIA, France 1944, Brother Donal, WIA, Heartbreak Ridge, Korea; Nam, been there. Don't Tread on me or Our Constitution, and some are already way out on thin ice. Remember in November!Retired and ready!

The Faithful oath of office...

Well he sure as snow is NOT faithfully upholding nor preserving the Constitution! To say in some oft handed way, "...the Constitution doesnt allow me to do that..." when talking about becoming involved in a huge undertaking in government takeover of somesort or another. The fact he has already overstepped the bounds of the office of Premier..er I mean President is telling enough! He has committed already impeachable offenses and needs to be removed from that place of authority.

Patrick Henry was the most faithful patriot of the founding era and he fought against ratification of the Constitution with all of his being. Along with other anti-Federalists he recognized that we would end up exactly where we are today with the proposed government. Here's what he said in the Virginia Ratifying Convention about the Empire being proposed:

"The American spirit has fled from hence: it has gone to regions where it has never been expected; it has gone to the people of France, in search of a splendid government — a strong, energetic government. What can make an adequate satisfaction to them for the loss they have suffered in attaining such a government — for the loss of their liberty? If we admit this consolidated government, it will be because we like a great, splendid one. Some way or other we must be a great and mighty empire; we must have an army, and a navy, and a number of things."

"We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: by that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, is about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire" -- Patrick Henry.

Over 200 years later, Presidential candidate Ron Paul raised some related points in the 2008 campaign. What justification does America have for maintaining at enormous expense 1,000 military bases overseas? Even our founding federalists (George Washington) advised against such foreign entanglements. How does America differ from the Roman Empire? Pax Romana -- Pax Americana?

The United States Constitution defies God by making itself and its manmade laws "the supreme law of the land," thus casting out the law of God in the Bible (Art. VI, Sec. 1). We are like Israel in her rebellion against God in I Samuel 8, which was centered on the desire for a king who “may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” Patrick Henry saw this clearly.

Should we be joining the volunteer army to support and defend a nation that consciously broke covenant with God in 1787? There is an oath required of every new recruit to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the very document by which America broke covenant with God. How can a Christian in good conscience volunteer to take this oath of rebellion? Ignorance alone.

Those who think they are enlisting to follow in the footsteps of George Washington's Revolutionary Army of patriots should think more carefully. Washington fought against the despotic mercantilism of the British Empire with its freedom-crushing taxes, tariffs and trade restrictions.

America has long since (1865) been recaptured by a virulent form of that very mercantilism with tyranny 100-fold or 1000-fold as great as Britain ever was. It has spread its tentacles everywhere with 1,000 military bases worldwide. Those who enlist to support this regime are playing the part of the British Redcoats during the American Revolution. What but blind patriotism can keep a Christian from grasping this reality. More details are here: http://www.america-betrayed-1787.com/volunteer-army.html

Having just reread General Mc Arthur's Farewell Speech at West Point fo rthe third time I'm left to wonder where they all went those people who knew and lived by the words Duty, Honor Country. My family has had members who fought in all wars from the Civil War on and did so with a feeling of pride in their service to this wonderful country which offers so much to it's citizens. I to wonder what happened in my life time where when going to school I was thught our history which include all wars from the French Indian on. Amoung the subject taught were alos the Constitution, a document which other nations are evnious of and at the same time feasrful of because it recognizes the rights of the individual. Perhaps this is why so many come to this country, Our way iof life offers them the opportunities they could never have in their native lands. Now however this document and our very way of life is under attack from within and it seem trher is no way to prevent it. Look at the people in elected office or running for an elected office. I truly believe there is not an honest man or patriot amoung them. Their true platform has only three planks Lie, Cheat and Steal. Lie to get into office , Cheat while in office and Steal all you can from you country while in office. You have a president who disregards the Constitution a Congress who gives a standing ovation to a foreign head of state (President of Mexico) who castigates our country for trying to enforce it's laws on immigration because it would interfere in his countrys illegal immigration to this country. However, his own country is in reality a failed state run by drug trafficking organizations who terrorizs and murder it's own citizens and the government cannot protect them.

If a President swears to the Oath of Office and then does absolutely the opposite of that Oath, it would seem to me that would be grounds for impeachment and immediate removal of an 'unfaithful', lying traitor to this country and all that it stands for. But then we live in a very 'liberal' society and must 'give him a long leash that will eventually pull us all down into the depths of 'Socialism & Communism' under the guize of a 'living constitution'? Apologies must be made to all who have faught and died for our freedoms, because we have allowed this heretic and his cronies to defile our National Heritage of Freedom & Justice.

Thanks to all of you, I pray for you everyday,God Bless all of you.

Let us remember that very few presidents EVER could pass the test of upholding their oath to the Constitution. NOT A SINGLE PRESIDENT in the past 100 years, Republicrat or Demipublican, ever upheld their oath as they are constitutional required. Especially after Linclon made it almost fashionable to violate the Constitution on a whim, if you can justify an emergency. Even before that time it was spotty a best to find one that held true to the

oath. The same applies to the the Courts and Congress.

The oath does not give any exception to situation. It does not give exception to the "opinion" or political agenda of the official. It doesn't give exception to ingnorance of the Constitution or expected duties. The oath doesn't care about "good intentions". It is no shade of grey whatsoever! It is black and white as it gets!

"To the best of my abilities..." is regardless of circumstance. If any official knowilgy CHOSE an unConstitutional action, or signed off on unConstitutional law, THEY MADE A WILLFUL CHOICE TO ACT CRIMINALLY AGAINST OUR REPUBLIC & CONSTITUTION, AND THEIR OWN OATH OF OFFICE. PERIOD. If simply two other individuals If they do it unknowingly, because of the "so-called" ignorance or incompetence, it is

I received an Honorable Medical Discharge (Physical Disability) for injuries received in 1968 while honorable serving in the United States Army. I pledged an Oath when inducted and still stand by that oath. Now I feel it is necessary to renew that oath of allegiance to GOD (GOD the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit aka spirit of GOD) to family (immediate family, brother & sisters in Christ & Fellow Patriots) and to Country

(The Constitutional United States of America and to all who will stand with me against all enemies both domestic and foreign. There is no greater honor than to give your life to preserve HONOR, GOD, FAMILY & COUNTRY.

As a US. Army retried NCO I took the oath many times, as did my son. I will defend the Constitution with my life, I know the meaning of an "OATH" and what our Constitution means to all Americans. The first ten Amendments are the corner stones of the Constitution and given by God and cannot be taken by any goverment or man. This is what my son give his life for in Iraq (June 21, 2007) as did many more men and women over the years. And as I will defend with mine.

A old warrior, and Gold star father....

HELLO AMERICA, I LET U KNOW I AM DEAF CANT HEARD OK SO HERE IS MY WORD YES, I DO BELIEVE IN GOD WE TRUST ONE NATION UNDER GOD WHAT GOD-GIVEN US IS SO HELP ME GOD TO BE ONE GOD BLESSING AMERICA. THAT AMERICA IS GOD AND THE LAW IS KING. NATURAL GOD AND LAW OF LAND IS OUR RIGHTS TO UNDER WE STAND IN OUR HOMELAND OF SUNSHINE DAY AND NIGHT AIR WAVE THE AMERICA FLAG TO LOOK UP TO GOD TO A LORD OF FOUNDER FATHERS TO US WITH OATH KEEPER TO DEFENSE OUR COUNTRY AS AMERICA SPIRIT OF 1776...

The answer is really quite simple.

Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER taken the "Oath of Office".

The 'first attempt', in public, was "flubbed" by both he, and the "judge".

The 'second attempt', in private, was 'taken' without the Bible from the day before, because it "could not be found". How could it not be found - it stays in the White House, it was 'used' the day before?

Obama IS a Constitutional Scholar. Thus, he knows how to circumvent the founding documents all-the-while making it appear that he is within the bounds set forth by those founding documents.

He knows he cannot be impeached - he is NOT "President".

He knows he cannot be tried for Treason - he is NOT a citizen of The United States, nor is he a Citizen of any one of These united States, Several and Sovereign.

Further, he was adopted by one Lolo Soetoro, thus making him the legal, natural born child of Lolo Soetoro - Indonesian citizen, and thus, an Indonesian citizen himself.

At adoption, Barack Hussein Obama ceased to exist and was replaced, legally and lawfully, by Barry Soetoro. You can't find Obama's real Birth Certificate? IT WAS CHANGED AT ADOPTION. Look for a Birth Certificate in the name of Barry Soetoro.

We do not currently have a legitimate government in this country - it has been usurped by fraud, deceit, and acts of Piracy, overt and covert.

Our Founding Fathers would have dragged him out by his heels long ago - by our inaction we have proven that we are not deserving of the country our Founding Fathers gave their all to produce for us in this future generation - SHAME ON US ALL.

"In 1776, an extraordinary group of men signed a document that affirmed their God-given right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Actually they affirmed their belief in much more. "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are rights *among those* which are endowed in man by his Creator.

"...among them being life, liberty and pursuit of happiness."

It was for this reason many argued against a Bill of Rights lest anyone consider the rights of man can be compiled in an exhaustive list.

I have been saying that we have domestic enemies in the "hate whitey house" and the Congress for 3 years now. One man going to the office of his non-representing senator or representative and telling him to GET OUT would get one arrested but a strong group of patriots would likely be arrested as well.

Don't even have the patriotic passion to challenge such "people" to a duel as some did originally. These bastareds are to civilized for that. They only kill a nation one stupid politically advantageous 2300 page bill at a time and permit a dictator to methodically ruin the greatest nation God has yet ordained.

I took the Oath when I was drafted into the U.S.Army 14 Apr.70 .I served my country faithfully and returned a disabled Veteran. I still hold to that oath to the day I die to defend my country against ALL enemies Foreign & Domestic and the domestic enemy now is President Barrack H.Obama .Congress is unwilling to Impeach Him knowing that the Senate wont get 2/3 vote to Impeach him .So what do we the people do ? This is my question to all of you who have placed your opinions here ,what do we do about getting Obama out of office now?

I pledge to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.

This oath is a reaffirmation as I gave it upon entering the military in 1969.

It is time we stop being so nice and tell them to stop! We must take action and not just talk...I am not advocating violence...I mean stand up and contact, go to WA en-mass if nececcary and demand we are heard!! Legally put forth documents of treason, removal and impeachment according to the Declaration of Independence that states when the people feel that their government is harmful, treasonous etc. that they all can be removed... Waiting to only voting times is not good because they can be rigged etc.....folks it is TIME FOR THE SHIELD TO COME DOWN AND THE GLOVES GO ON AND WE TAKE DIRECT AND SWIFT ACTION TO STOP SOCIALISM, ISLAMISM AND THE EVIL THAT HAS TAKEN OUR NATION!!!!

Get it the way it is supposed to be.

Where do I sign up for this pledge/lawsuit?

I had switched from Republican to Constitution Party about 10 years ago for just this reason that the Constitution was not being followed any longer by either of the 2 major parties.

As a proud veteran and the son of another proud veteran who was on the Presidential Color Guard of the POTUS who both understand what the Constitution means to not only our country, but us as a people, I am supporting the efforts prevent it from being usurped and ignored by politicians and other miscreants!

When the Signers of the Declaration of Independence made their Pledge, they pledged two things they were willing to sacrifice, their lives and their fortunes. The third, if a person truly possesses it can never be lost, Sacred Honor.

Unfortunately their have been too many in positions of power who have no concept of Sacred Honor and are concerned only with their lives and fortunes. I have sworn an Oath of Enlistment several times and on no occasion was there an expiration date mentioned.

"For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, I pledge my life, my fortune and my sacred honor."

"I solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same so help me God"

As a proud Active Duty member of the USCG for over 20 years. I have pledged my life to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same so help me God. This oath is an reaffirmation I gave upon entering the military in 1981.

Where do I sign up for this pledge/lawsuit?

R/Jill Jarvis

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, as it was originally written and intended by the founding fathers of this country, one nation, under God,with liberty and justice for all legal citizens

I further pledge to defend, and uphold The Constituion against ALL enemies, foriegn or domestic, with my life, so help me God.

I will never accept, as has been stated by our current President, that the Constitution is a living document. He is attempting to permanently change our way of life and our freedoms.

I have come to the conclusion that no President and supposed student of the constitution can be this stupid so it is completely intentional and probably financially backed by others who want to destroy us. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

I support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic, danger religions;that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same so help me God. I read the book about Patrick Henry,1736-1799, American stateman, governor of Virginia, and orator, said "Give liberty or give me death." It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ(The Bible,)....."this is a book worth more that all the others that were ever printed." and also, I read the President Abraham Lincoln's word said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

TO TRUE PATRIOT YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.O.K. ITS TIME WERE DO WE MEET, AND WHEN.ITS TIME. WHEN IN THE COARSE OF HUMAN EVENT.ASK YOURSELF WHEN IS THE LAST TIME ANY POLITICIAN HAS DONE ANYTHING FOR WE THE PEOPLE.ANSWER never.so if they aren,t going to do anything for us including the doj/doh/u.n. then what do we need them for.all of them.we the people its time to clean all the useless politicians out.god bless all american veterans past present future.and all legal americans

Shortly after becoming Chancellor, Adolph Hitler had the German Army's officer corps swear a new oath, one that included personal fealty to the Fuhrer and Adolph Hitler, personally. This oath and the honor of the mostly Prussian officers kept them from recognizing the evil of Hitler and from taking action against him and his criminal regime until Colonel von Stauffenberg led the 20th of July 1944 assassination attempt. By then it was too late and the world suffered. I wonder if an American officer corps could or would take arms against a president who subverted the constitution. Just thinking aloud.
