1.0 STATEMENT OF ETHICS
It is the duty of the citizen’s militia to protect and defend the unalienable Rights of
all members of the community. Under no circumstances will the militia of [state] tolerate those who advocate acts of criminal violence, terrorism, racism or a change away from our republican form of government; nor will it support any specific
political party or candidate, nor espouse any particular religious denomination or doctrine. All members must understand the duties and obligation of both citizens and
government under the [Constitution].
1.1 MISSION STATEMENT
The members of the [state] unorganized militia shall ever stand, as have our Forefathers before us, first to God, from Whom we acknowledge the Authority of all
Rights, and all the blessings of governments and to our native soil, [state]. We therefore pledge:
To promote and defend the unalienable God-given rights of all citizens, regardless of race, sex or national origin, as is expressed in the [state] [Constitution] and the Bill
of Rights of the [U.S. Constitution].
To promote and defend the principles of just government bequeathed to us by our forefathers to whit, That the principle of the Tenth Amendment shall stand inviolate,
as history has shown that the greatest system of checks and balances exists with the people and their States to check the powers accrued by the federal government. That the integrity of the courts, be they local, State or federal, shall remain uncontemptable providing that they shall respect and uphold the rights of the
citizens of [state], including but not limited to, upholding the due process of law, and
to preserve the right of trial by jury and to obtain immediate judicial review of cases
wherein abuse of basic [Constitutional] rights are questioned.
That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on
their authority, and instituted for their Life, Liberty, and Property; for the
advancement of those ends they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible
right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think
proper.
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of
nonresistance against arbitrary power is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good
and happiness of mankind.
That all just government is servant of the people who have instituted it, that the
people of [state] should never by force nor coercion be obliged to anything styled as
"law" which has not been promulgated by their duly elected representatives, nor any
as may be promulgated by them to bear conflict to the rights of the people, so that
no government shall be made master of the people of [state].
To promote and propagate the militia of [state] as a well regulated, (trained and
prepared) organization knowledgeable in historical precedent and current affairs,

that is composed of common citizens.
To develop a cohesive and competent command structure.
To train our members in the many disciplines necessary to the function of the militia
as a whole and to the members individually.
To educate our members in areas of history, law and principle as compiled in the
experience and records of our forefathers.
To keep informed our members, and all citizens of events Local, State, National and
global that threaten to imperil our traditional Constitutional rights, or such as may
imperil the sovereignty of our Nation by the undue influence of those who have
forsaken their loyalty to our Nation, and to the principles upon which it was founded.
To repel foreign aggression and invasions, by preparing and training for defense and
by our encouraging and showing reason why all citizens should stand stoutly against
socialism, fascism, communism, humanism, and all forms of tyranny.
