The die has been cast
Ammon,
I believe you know that I respect you as a man of great,
inspirational courage and conviction. And likewise for your brothers.
It was your inspiring courage and conviction at your Bundy family ranch
in Nevada that caused me, Oath Keepers as an organization, and many
others to come from all over the nation, rifles in hand, to protect your
family and back you up, shoulder-to-shoulder as you took a strong stand
for your rights and for the Constitution. It was a profound honor to
do so, and it was a stand that will go down in history.
However, as you know, I oppose what you have chosen to do by
occupying the wildlife preserve there in Oregon, specifically because it
is not being done with the consent of the locals or at their request,
without the request of the Hammond’s, and without even their knowledge
of what you were going to do, until you did it, and because it is not in
direct defense of anyone. The right way to go would have been to
respect the right of the locals on the Committee of Safety to call the
shots, decide what needs to be done, and to actually let them be in
charge of all outside volunteers, including you. You can certainly act
as an adviser and instructor, giving input on what you think they should
do.
