OATH KEEPERS joins CSPOA in Support of
Florida Sheriff Nick Finch

[Quoting from CSPOA's article]
A quick review of the incident
tells of a Mr. Parrish being pulled over for a very minor traffic
violation last March (2013). The officer, a deputy employed by Sheriff
Finch, did a pat-down search of Mr. Parrish and discovered a small pistol
in his pocket. Parrish had no "permit" for such and the
deputy arrested him for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
Sheriff Finch was notified of the situation and he went to the Liberty
County Jail that he manages. There, after looking over the entire
incident, he released Mr. Parrish and canceled the arrest. This is
fully within his power of discretion as sheriff. In the first place,
Sheriff Finch disagreed with the probable cause used to justify the
stop and disagreed with the pat down that led to Parrish's arrest. More
importantly, Sheriff Finch nullified a wrong and stood for the
Constitution which he is sworn to uphold. Faced with a choice between
obeying a state statute or adhering to individual liberty, he chose
liberty!
Following this incident, Sheriff
Finch was investigated by the State of Florida and arrested for
destroying official documents, a dubious accusation at best. Florida
Governor Rick Scott took it upon himself to first suspend Sheriff
Finch, then remove him from office and fill the vacancy by appointing a
member of the very agency that investigated and arrested him! (In
layman terms this is all called "the good 'ol boy system")!
So, Sheriff Finch has no job, no
income, and is facing felony charges. The State has made it so Sheriff
Finch has no money to provide for his family or pay for his lawyers.
Finch has two special needs children and a very supportive wife. Yes,
the State has already made a plea offer to Sheriff Finch and yes, you
guessed it, if he promises to leave his position as Sheriff then all
charges against him will be dropped. Of course, Sheriff Finch is
fighting this absurd arrest and illegal action by the Governor all the
way!

Oath Keepers joins Sheriff Mack's CSPOA in spreading the word of
Sheriff Finch's plight. Stewart Rhodes, founder and President of Oath
Keepers, flew out to speak at a fundraiser for Sheriff Finch, and has
issued this statement:
"I have met him eye-to-eye
and spoken with him at length about his oath, and I am convinced that
he is the genuine article - a good man, and a sincere defender of the
Constitution. Like Sheriff Finch told me, he took that oath long
ago when he served in the Army, and he still takes it very seriously."
Oath Keepers
encourages all members and friends of liberty to join in supporting
Sheriff Finch.
 Friends In The Fight For Liberty
The following
is a summation by Oath Keepers' Florida chapter President, Mike
Austell, who is very active in support of Sheriff Finch:
Quoting:
When we
first learned that our governor had removed an elected county sheriff
from office in Florida, we immediately started investigating. The
more we investigated and studied the circumstances, the more we became
convinced that Sheriff Nick Finch had acted properly and carried out
his duties according to his Oath to the Constitution.
Further
consultation and discussions with Stewart Rhodes, Richard Mack, and
other Constitutional scholars merely affirmed our beliefs. Meeting
Sheriff Finch and his family sealed the deal. This is a good
solid man who swore his Oath many years ago in the Army and again
several times in his law enforcement career. To him, that Oath means
what it does to all of us. It never expires and we live it every
day.
We wholeheartedly
support Sheriff Nick Finch and call on Governor Rick Scott to end this
travesty and restore him to his elected office. The people of Liberty
County spoke at the ballot box. Are we to allow THEIR decision to
be overturned because of some PERCEIVED minor infraction?
We say
NO to Governor Scott and State Attorney Willie Meggs! Return
Sheriff Finch to his rightful elected office!

Why not deputize two or three thousand people. Ones with no real felony record, with a working knowledge of the constitution and when need be call on them to act to uphold the constitution. See to it they are armed with weapons to match the local agency thugs and are proficient in the use of such weapons. Than you would have armed citizens every where all the time and the crazies with badges and inflated egos would be checkmated.
