oceanbreeze, you say it better than me. Thank you.

Onlyintyefalls is a moderate....that is worthless when it comes down to beliefs. Conservative folk have strong core values rooted in strict constitutionalism. We believe the government is not the answer but is instead exists to serve the people. Liberals believe we are here to serve the government and the reach of the government can never be too over reaching. Conservatives believe and know they could survive without the "help" of the government while liberals think without government, all are helpless.
Moderates in fact really don't pay a lot of attention. If after everything that has happened and occurred over the past few years you've not formed an opinion , you are indeed not paying attention or really could care less.

onlyinthefalls loves the government! "I'm with the government-I'm here to help you" is what this unpatriotic dangerous person actually believes 100%. It's laughable how one can talk so much and be so wrong. Sort of sad, really.

But you are blind as a bat. I bet you believe the official 911 story, don't you? I bet you believe building 7, a 47 story skyscraper that was not hit, just fell in it's own footprint from minimal 'fire damage.' I bet you believe vaccines are safe, that the affordable health care act is a good thing, and I bet you believe ordinary Americans shouldn't possess firearms. Examples could go on to infinity with the evil bunch that are in power. I already see that you have no respect for state's rights. The federal government has expanded way past what it was meant to and it will morph into absolute tyranny just as the founders feared it would. You've chosen your side, so have I.

weak name calling will not support your terrorist activities. i'm not the son of Obama, nor am I an ultra conservative tea party zealot.

If Obama had a son, onlyinthefalls would be him.

And now the truth comes out. As expected the Bylaws and Mission of your organization mean nothing, you don't support the Constitution as it has been amended and interpreted by the courts, you only believe and support the parts that fit your image of what the United States should.

Constitutional, Thank you. Your eyes are wide open. It is always refreshing to see/ hear a person that STILL believes in the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, and FREE under God. And yes, SCUM has been doing everything to tear it all apart.

It is unconstitutional for the federal government to have any control whatsoever of a state's national guard or any militia. No one with any sense wants anything to do with homeland security. It wreaks of the late 30's Nazi Germany Gestapo and brown shirts. These people have purchased billions of rounds of ammo with our tax dollars. Millions and millions of them hollow point which are outlawed for warfare yet given to a domestic agency. DHS is a monstrous entity created by the unconstitutional patriot act after the false flag of 911. It was created for one purpose, and that is eventual open warfare with American patriots. You can believe what you want as the majority of people are blind and believe the feds are the good guys. Many know this is not the case. They have sold us down the river to foreign interests and when the time comes they will attempt to kill us that resist their' New World Order.' American patriots hold hundreds of millions of arms and tens of billions of rounds of ammo. The scum in power have repeatedly attempted to take away the 2nd Amendment and consistently chip away at it with legislation. What part of 'shall not be infringed' don't they understand? The founders intent was that an armed populace would at least stand a fighting chance of throwing off an unjust, corrupt government and replacing it. Funny thing is, you cannot take away a man's right to defend himself given to him by his maker. I could go on much longer, but I'll just say; Time to choose sides.

Great bylaws and mission for the organization. How does the YVM fit in the Homeland Securities National Response Framework?

onlyfalls, you have made up your mind. And no amount of education is going to help you. You are so far off that I could not help but to laugh a little. You know so much that isn't so, and apparently has YVM confused with something else. It's a shame you have no clue about history. You would prefer to still live under King George?
It was just an invite. Take it or leave it. And have a wonderful day.

Yep, it is to easy to accept or decline an effort by a group of individuals who disrespect the Government of a nation, its elected officials and preach anarchy for all.

Defining the "D*** Act"

The bill also redefined the term "militia" as including three distinct groups – the Regular Army, the Organized Militia, which is the National Guard, and the Reserve Militia, which is every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45.

onlyfalls, It's just an invitation, to you AND your buddies. There are always ones who will find negativity in anything and everything, even an invitation. I suppose it's just too difficult to accept it or decline it.

It would appear that the Militia Act of 1903 sort of made this a moot point, repealing the Militia Act of 1792 and its amendments and organizing the National Guard under Federal control. The National Defense Act of 1916 took this a little further.

Robeson: The earliest historical record of militia is found in the Old Testament and particularly the Book of Judges.

There are many sites on Militia history. Before there was a standing army in this land, every "free able-bodied white male citizen" between the ages of 18 and 45 were into a local militia company. (This was later expanded to all males, regardless of race, between the ages 18-54) YOU are in the militia NOW whether you know it or not, if you are of age, as the law still exist. Who fought the first wars of this country? Remember, there was no standing army. MY ancestors did as I am 7th and 10th generations down. Maybe yours, also. Wilkes, Surry, Yadkin, Stokes, and many other NC counties have militias, and same across the nation. Our sheriff supports us. And we are ready if he should need us. You can join any militia you want.
Yes, people move, and there are people here from other USA places, including myself. NO, not all at the booth were originally from other places.
Does not matter, anyway. There are some militia groups at the border helping. It's not a paying job, and they have to have their own supplies. We should all appreciate this.
Bill Elliot, The militia is not a political group. Everyone has political views, but the militia is not the tea party nor any political group.
To repeat, I put out an invitation. If you have questions, or want to know what the militia is about and what we do, the best way is to talk to the members. Take it or leave it. Learn or remain clueless. Thank you.

First Militia Act of 1792

The first Act, passed May 2, 1792, provided for the authority of the president to call out the militias of the several states, "whenever the United States shall be invaded, or be in imminent danger of invasion from any foreign nation or Indian tribe."[3] The law also authorized the President to call the militias into Federal service "whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act".[4] This provision likely referred to uprisings such as Shays' Rebellion. The president's authority in both cases was to expire after two years.

Second Militia Act of 1792

The second Act, passed May 8, 1792, provided for the organization of the state militias. It conscripted every "free able-bodied white male citizen" between the ages of 18 and 45 into a local militia company. (This was later expanded to all males, regardless of race, between the ages 18-54)

Militia members, referred to as "every citizen, so enrolled and notified," "...shall within six months thereafter, provide himself..." with a musket, bayonet and belt, two spare flints, a cartridge box with 24 bullets, and a knapsack. Men owning rifles were required to provide a powder horn, 1/4 pound of gunpowder, 20 rifle balls, a shooting pouch, and a knapsack.[5] Some occupations were exempt, such as congressmen, stagecoach drivers, and ferryboatmen. Otherwise, men were required to report for training twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall.

The militias were divided into "divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies" as the state legislatures would direct.[6] The provisions of the first Act governing the calling up of the militia by the President in case of invasion or obstruction to law enforcement were continued in the second Act.[7] Court martial proceedings were authorized by the statute against militia members who disobeyed orders.[8]

They were set up yesterday at the Fall Festival in Yadkinville but the ones at the booth moved in from another part of the US. Where did the Militia originate?

I'm not confused I know some members of that group and their political actions speak volumes.

onlyinthefalls said, in another thread, "Folks as with any movie, do a little research into what it is all about and how others have viewed it. If the topic interest you take a look, if not save your money. I'll be saving mine."

Applies to YVM also. It's an invite, You can attend or not attend. It seems you may not be educated about the Militia, but YVM can teach you the history. And your buddies.

onlyinthefalls, Yes, please bring your buddies.
Bill Elliot, I believe you are a little confused.
underdog, I already had asked that. Unfortunately, not at the fire station.
