All the sheriffs were shocked and against it. However, each sheriff
said there was nothing we could do about it, “you can’t fight city hall”
was the frequent comment. I disagreed and decided to sue my own
government. Everybody said I was crazy and that I could not win. Six
other sheriffs from various parts of the USA joined the lawsuit. The
case went all the way to the U S Supreme Court and miracle of miracles,
WE WON!
Now, today, our country is dying and all the experts say we’re on the
right track or if we are not, that there’s nothing we can do about it. I
disagree; there is something we can do! Our “leaders” continually urge
us to stay on the Titanic and they count on our ignorance and apathy to
keep us on board.
The questions are:
Can we save America? And
Will enough people get involved and dedicate themselves to make this dream a reality?
The answers lie within our grasp and come from the foundation of our
country. The principles are embodied within the Declaration of
Independence and outlined in the Constitution.Yes, America is in deep,
deep trouble. The good news is that there is hope and my victory at the U
S Supreme Court proves that it only takes a few to stand to make
monumental changes. We do not have to stand by and watch while America
is destroyed from within. If our counties, cities, and states and all
local officers keep their oaths to protect us from tyranny, we can win
this battle to take our country back.
This is our plan, our goal and our quest. We are forming the
Constitutional Peace Officers Association which will unite all public
servants and sheriffs, to keep their word to uphold, defend, protect,
preserve, and obey the Constitutions of the United States of America. We
already have hundreds of police, sheriffs, and other officials who have
expressed a desire to be a part of this Holy Cause of Liberty.
We are going to train and vet them all, state by state, to understand
and enforce the constitutionally protected Rights of the people they
serve, with an emphasis on State Sovereignty and local autonomy. Then
these local governments will issue our new Declaration to the Federal
Government regarding the abuses that we will no longer tolerate or
accept. Said declaration will be enforced by our Constitutional Sheriffs
and Peace Officers. In short, the CSPOA will be the army to set our
nation free. This will guarantee this movement remains both peaceful and
effective.
In the Mack/Printz ruling, the Supreme Court ruled, “But the Constitution protects us from our own best intentions.” The
only thing we lack to make this principle a reality is the people who
are devoted enough to make it so. The sheriffs and police are the
answer.
The Founders of America pledged their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor to establish liberty here in the USA. To keep it, we
the People must do likewise.
Thomas Jefferson said, “Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the
tempestuous sea of liberty.” The CSPOA will unite the sheriffs, police,
and local officials who are willing and courageous enough to join us in
the “tempestuous sea of liberty.” I am asking you to join with us.
“If we fail, we fail while daring greatly, so that our posterity will
never place us among those cold and timid souls who knew neither
victory nor defeat.”
For God, Family, and Country, Sheriff Richard Mack
CSPOA Founder and Executive Director
