ORIGINAL: jlf1961 WE NEED >500,000< Shares! I want you to read this & >>SHARE<< it. Our politicians need to know that we will not support unconstitutional legislation... <<LETTER CONTENTS BELOW>> Dear Mr. Vice President, I am Sheriff Tim Mueller, elected twice by the citizens of Linn County Oregon who have entrusted me with a noble cause: to keep them and their families safe. My deputies and I take that responsibility very seriously and, like you, have sworn to support the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath equally as serious as protecting our citizens. I have worked for the people of Linn County for over 28 years as a member of the Linn County Sheriff's Office as well as serving three years active duty as a Military Police Officer in the US Army, where I also swore a similar oath. In the wake of the recent criminal events, politicians are attempting to exploit the deaths of innocent victims by advocating for laws that would prevent honest, law abiding Americans from possessing certain firearms and ammunition magazines. We are Americans. We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws. Any federal regulation enacted by Congress or by executive order of the President offending the constitutional rights of my citizens shall not be enforced by me or by my deputies, nor will I permit the enforcement of any unconstitutional regulations or orders by federal officers within the borders of Linn County Oregon. In summary, it is the position of this Sheriff that I refuse to participate, or stand idly by, while my citizens are turned into criminals due to the unconstitutional actions of misguided politicians. Respectfully, Sheriff Tim Mueller Linn County Oregon Oh one more thing, it is the Supreme Court that rules what is or is not constitutional...as per the Constitution.... In the wake of believed (by him) unConstitutional legislation, there will be civil disobedience on his part. I would much rather see the legislation resisted ,leading to a legal challenge, than have the legislation enforced while the legal challenge wends it's way through the legal system to the SCOTUS. By that time, it would be too late to prevent the damage. An the legal challenge will end quickly in favor of the federal goverment. Otherwise, total anarchy would take place within a week in the nation. It'll never hit the US Supreme Court, and if it did, they would rule in favor of the federal goverment. If a county can make a law that superceeds the US Constitution, what stops other counties in the USA from doing the same?
