OATH Keepers - LIFEMEMBER
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial. We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders.” Our motto is “Not on our watch!” If you, the American people, are forced to once again fight for your liberty in another American Revolution, you will not be alone. We will stand with you. There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But you can rest assured that many others in the military do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution, and understand what that means. The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers. We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops. To win that battle, Oath Keepers will use written and video testimony of active duty military, veterans (especially combat vets), and peace officers to reach, teach, and inspire our brothers in arms in the military and police to fulfill their oaths and stand as guardians of the Republic. If you are currently in the military, are a veteran, or are a peace officer, please submit your written and/or video testimony on your oath, so you can help us win that battle for hearts and minds. Your submission may be anonymous. Guardians of the Republic, fulfill your oath. Join us.

Sierra Club Mission Statement:
Purposes and Goals:
There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with slight capitalization and punctuation differences, found in the official documents surrounding the adoption of the Bill of Rights. One such version was passed by the Congress, which reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Another version is found in the copies distributed to the states, and then ratified by them, which had this capitalization and punctuation: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The original hand-written copy of the Bill of Rights, approved by the House and Senate, was prepared by scribe William Lambert and resides in the National Archives. The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights. Having been introduced to firearms by his father, Michael Nelson, has learned about firearms, the safety involved with their storage and use and the ammunition for firearms, from a young age. His father an avid outdoorsman and hunter is also a Life-Time member of the National Rifle Association. The Mission of the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.) is: "To protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms, and to promote safe, responsible, and competent use of firearms." In 1871, by a group of Union veterans of the American Civil War. The first NRA president was Ambrose Burnside; the eighth, Ulysses S. Grant. The NRA is made up of some 4.3 million members and has chapters throughout the country. Over 1,000 NRA-licensed firearms instructors train individuals on firearm use, while the NRA's considerable staff wields an astonishing amount of lobbying power. The NRA, the oldest and largest civil liberties organization in the United States, promotes the Founding Fathers' vision of a citizenry that both owns guns and uses them responsibly.
Our national network of community-based nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations, engage millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences. From a young age Michael's mother Leslie, has insisted he and his brother learn about nature through educational programs at Stony Brook refuge a park of the Audubon Society. Long walks and educational pursuits in Audubon Society - Stoney Brook refuge instilled a love of nature and the importance to protect wildlife. Through the NelsonFoundation.com Michael continues to provide support to animal welfare.

The purpose of the Order of the Arrow as Scouting's
National Honor Society is fourfold: Scouts
are elected to the Order by their fellow unit members,
following approval by the Scoutmaster. To become a
member, a youth must be a registered member of a Boy
Scout troop and hold First Class rank. The candidate
must have experienced fifteen days and nights of Boy
Scout camping during the two-year period prior to the
election. The fifteen days and nights must include one,
but no more than one, long-term camp consisting of six
consecutive days and five nights of resident camping,
approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boy
Scouts of America. The balance of the camping must be
overnight, weekend, or other short-term camps.
The induction ceremony, called the Ordeal, is the first
step toward full membership. During the
experience, candidates maintain silence, receive small
amounts of food, work on camp improvement projects, and
are required to sleep alone, apart from other campers.
The entire experience is designed to teach significant
values. The Order of the Arrow has been a strong part of the Scouting program for over 90 years. Nelson became a member of the Order of the Arrow, while a Boy Scout with Troop 126, in Franklin, MA. Completing Ordeal at Camp Squanto BSA Summer Camp in Massachusetts and Brotherhood a few years later.
