On this day, Saturday, December 12, 2019, hereby marks the formal conception of WV Mercer County 1st Citizen Task Force. We are headquartered in Mercer County, West Virginia. We will not seek the divisions of people based on occupation, race, color or sectional distinctions in society. We will need virtually everyone from ALL walks of life and occupations to succeed in today's environment. This organization is about one specific unified creed, those that support the Constitution of the United States in the letter and spirit with which it was written and originally interpreted by our Founding Fathers, including the Amendments that soon followed its birth. The American Constitution is the ONLY document that precisely defines what it is to be an American and the hopes of the future of American living. Above all else, we will dedicate ourselves to the preservation and application of the Constitution as originally intended, as well as anticipate the day when it will be fully implemented in the hearts and minds of ALL Americans. We are a pro-Constitution, pro-Law Enforcement, pro-government organization that seeks to be a benefit when we can and when needed. We are not a radical organization. We only seek to completely fulfill the inalienable responsibilities to ourselves, our families, our communities, in-as-far as we have been charged by our Constitution through the wisdom of our founders. That being said, there may well come a time in our future when Americans will have to actually use the 2nd Amendment. Personally, I can foresee an ominous time that lay ahead. So did our Founding Fathers. That is why we have the 2nd Amendment. Should there come a time when such an event would become necessary, we the people need to be ready the way our Founding Fathers provided that we should be ready. Being willing is not good enough. We must be READY, WILLING, and ABLE to do what needs to be done. And from what I've personally seen, we are FAR behind the curve. Hopefully, we can gain the high ground in all areas and preserve our way of life for future generations to come. We have much catching up to do, We have much in which to be educated and trained. We need MANY different kinds of people. Knowledgeable leaders with experience, tacticians, communications, soldiers with experience in intelligence, battlefield training/testing, map makers, drill sergeants to train and conduct drills from formation to tactical, commanders, cooks, suppliers, munitions experts, you name it. We NEED it. Let's band together to become one voice... an American voice... that cannot be ignored.
