The leader of the group, Ret. Army Col. Harry Riley, said “We are calling for [their] removal … as a start toward constitutional restoration.” “They have all abandoned the U.S. Constitution, are unworthy to be retained in a position that calls for servant status.” Their stated goal is to be able to influence the politicians who they are not targeting to “sponsor and pass very constitutionally crafted state legislation to dissolve the size, powers, scope and spending of the U.S. government by two-thirds,” according to reports. The group’s website states that their mission is the “Restoration of Constitutional government, rule of law, freedom, liberty ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’ from despotic and tyrannical federal leadership.” On Friday the group will arrive in Washington and they expect between 10 million and 30 million like-minded Americans to join them in protest. Riley said he’s hoping for a peaceful demonstration but noted that peaceful protests haven’t exactly been beneficial to Americans. He also said that his projections of 10-30 million demonstrators aren’t a “pie in the sky” idea, as he’s already been able to confirm over a million militia members have mobilized to head to D.C. “For more than five years, ‘we the people’ have been writing, calling, faxing Congress, the media , screaming in town halls, marching, rallying, demonstrating, petitioning, all to no avail,” he said. Every branch of government looks at ‘we the people’ whom they have taken an oath to serve, as ‘pests,’ interfering with their political agenda, cramping their self-serving, greedy agendas. We have no faith in the ballot box any longer, as many believe this sacred secret box has been compromised.” Are you going to be joining Riley and the rest of the patriots marching?
