I am an American citizen born in this country, raised and schooled here and a veteran of military service.
I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of any terrorist group, network, religious sect or social clique which advocates the use of terror or violence against anyone in any country at any time, for any reason.
I have read and understand the Constitution of these United States as amended and am familiar with prevailing law and custom in my country.
The unconscionable, illegal and extra legal tactics being employed by what is clearly a rogue administration, no longer under the control of the citizens of this country must be resisted by all Americans who are concerned with fundamental human rights and liberties.
I will be secure from governmental scrutiny in my home, private affairs and communications until and unless the government can show probable cause before a legally elected or appointed judge or magistrate that I have performed some act of word or deed that would require such scrutiny to protect the common interests of the American people.
I will expect that the government will follow the law in all respects and afford every citizen, indeed every person, the guarantees of liberty and privacy common to our American history and culture.
If I find that my security, my basic liberty to live a life free of unwarranted governmental intrusion is threatened by some neo Stalinist or facist administration or any other criminal gang, be they private or public, I will be forced to reconsider many of my core scruples and remove these gloves.
