Save Our Sheriff

We're here because we're passionate about freedom.

We believe the message of freedom transcends political party, right vs. left, religion, race, and gender. We believe in America, and that Americans are desperate to hear a message of hope, optimism, and prosperity rather than the fear, negativity, and sensationalism that has taken over the mainstream media. Yes, we have a lot of problems in this country but we believe the answer to all of these problems can be found in the Constitution of the United States.

We're here because we're oppose despotism and tyranny.

Sadly, our elected official don't seem to value or respect the Constitution because they refuse to be chained down by that supreme law of the land. Rather than submit to the strict limits on government which our Founding Fathers imposed, today most of our so-called "representatives" in Washington D.C. are busy pushing forward the globalist agenda. This is the agenda that benefits international banks and multinational corporations—not the American people. It is an agenda that has destroyed American industry, devalued our currency, outsourced our jobs and bankrupted our nation.

That is a question everyone needs to be asking themselves.

If you don't have a good answer maybe you should consider our answer: elect a Sheriff to office who understands fulfilling his Oath to the Constitution means upholding the Bill of Rights. Our name says it all: Save Our Sheriff, save our country!

This is very good question—and we have and answer. However, we realize some people hear our message without a frame of reference. Therefore, we need to define the problem in very clear terms.

The United Nations is a political system that is foreign or alien and must be viewed as a false authority otherwise it destroys the inherent sovereignty of our nation. Taken to extreme, this so-called "New World Order" places American citizens under the jurisdiction of an International Criminal Court. Some people will read this and scoff, "That will never happen."

Sorry, but it already has. In December of 2009, President Obama quietly signed an executive order that makes an international police force immune from the restraints of American law.

See the problem?

As you know, the Sheriff is elected by the people of the county and are not employed by any branch of the federal government. That individual is sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and is bound by oath to protect the rights of the people. What is less well known, is this: our system of government gives the Sheriff both the authority to enforce Federal laws as well as the prerogative to disregard those mandates that would violate our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Next to the President of the United States, the Sheriff is the most powerful elected official. Ultimately, the County Sheriff is the balance to any overreaching authority of the federal government or agencies like Interpol. As Sheriff Mack explained,

"My goal is to educate sheriffs to their proper authority and their standing as the ultimate check and balance for the people in their county. If we are going to get back to those principles upon which our country was founded, then the county sheriff has to be involved in that process. That's where we are today. We don't have anywhere else to turn, so why not turn to the guy who promised to do just that?"

Stop and think. What if you learned our government was planning to disband the jury system? What if highly paid professionals called "judges" were appointed for life and the long standing tradition of a jury trial was forever ended, consigned to the history books?

In such a case, you and I would being losing more than the hallmark of Western democracy—we would be losing our Constitutional right to a jury trial. Losing the elected office of Sheriff to bureaucratic appointment is like loosing our right to a jury trial, both provide a tried and proven method for extracting justice while protecting individual liberty. Both provide a safeguard under law (and sometimes in contempt of bad law or despite poor judicial rulings), to prevent someone or something from being harmed.

SOS actively looks for Sheriffs who will take their oath in all conscience to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Candidates are asked to understand, commit to, and sign the "Affirmation of Oath" contract with the citizens of their county. Our goal is to work with the elected Sheriffs to ensure that the State sovereignty and individual liberty is effectively protected.

SOS seeks to educate citizens as to what they may rightly expect from their County Sheriff and how to determine if their Sheriff is fulfilling his/her oath to the Constitution. If the Sheriff is not, we help the citizens develop an action plan to either cultivate a relationship with their Sheriff or facilitate the election of a Sheriff whose aim is to upload the oath of office.

SOS is enthusiastically devoted to helping every Sheriff's department become undeniably the last line of protection for their citizens. We offer classes, books, answers and networking for any Sheriff who wants to fulfill his oath to the Constitution and the people who elected him.

The Save Our Sheriff National Advisory Council (SOS-NAC) is a private advisory committee with a Constitutional mandate to promote cooperation between American business and private sector interests at the county level with the various 3000+ county Sheriffs departments nationwide. SOSAC currently encompasses a three-member core leadership council, an Executive Officer, various Country Councils, and constituent member organizations and associations.
