OATH KEEPERS USA
“Stand your ground!”
(Captain John Parker, Lexington, MA, April 19th 1775)
Charlie Kirk - OKUSA - Official Statement
We have waited to release an official statement on the assassination of the conservative icon Charlie Kirk. We did so in an attempt to allow the situation, the response and the pulse of America to breathe and contract. Much has still yet to be learned, and details are coming in fast.
Charlie Kirk was a phenomenon. A once in a generation leader. A young man of God who was Divinely guided into changing hearts and minds of millions of Americans young and old. His work, his teachings and his sacrifice will not be silenced with the evil doings of a deranged individual. Yet those exact virtues he exuded will be forever lifted up, they will be magnified a thousand times over now. This killer tried to silence Charlie Kirk. He failed! What he did was unleash millions of Charlie Kirks and the influence that Charlie Kirk had. Charlie was never in the military or public service requiring him to have taken an Oath. Yet he knew full well the devotion of an Oath to God Almighty! Charlie lived the virtues of our Oaths to the fullest. In many ways, he even exceeded them. Charlie’s work was meant to spur discussion and debate. To teach the men and women of America, both young and old, that whatever ship we sail in, we are all in the same boat. America, and the world, is weaker today with Charlie’s death. Our hearts are heavy, yes, but filled with prayer and resolve to pick up the torch and light of freedom and liberty. It’s what our Oaths require and demand.
We here at Oath Keepers USA, our Board of Directors, and all our members will remain vigilant, call for the peaceful change of temperature in our nation as Charlie did. We will continue “ on mission “ to serve our Constitution, our communities and our countrymen. We will continue to prepare, to learn, to promote the mission of Oath Keepers USA in making our Constitutional Republic even stronger and ensure it remains so in perpetuity!

Ten Orders We Will NOT Obey
The following are the Ten Orders that Oath Keepers USA will never obey. Orders such as this are illegal and would only be issued by corrupt and tyrannical leaders. Those who follow illegal orders go against the Oath they have sworn, as well as the Constitution of the United States.
(Click on area to open)
1. Orders prohibiting freedom of religion, speech, press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
These are rights specifically listed in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. They are designed to protect against government attacks on worship, free speech and the press.
2. Orders to disarm the American people
This would be a violation of the Second Amendment. Private ownership of firearms is the greatest deterrent to tyranny ever devised. Only criminals, tyrants, and those willing to trade liberty for “security” wish for a disarmed populace.
3. Orders to conduct warrantless searches and seizures of the American people, their houses, papers and effects.
This would be a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
4. Orders to confiscate the private property of the American people without due process.
This would be a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Life, liberty and property are the three great freedoms that are supposed to be secured by the government.
5. Orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or subjecting them to military tribunals.
This would be a violation of the Fourth (people are secure in their persons), Fifth (due process), Sixth (right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury), and Fourteenth (deprival of life, liberty, or property) Amendments.
6. Orders to invade and subjugate any American state that asserts its sovereignty.
The Tenth Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.”
7. Orders to blockade American cities.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally prevents a president from using federal troops as a domestic police force.
8. Orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on an American state.
There is no power delegated to the federal government to impose martial law.
9. Orders forcing American citizens into any form of detention camp.
This would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment (right to life, liberty and property).
10. Orders to assist or support the use of foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people.
Foreign troops within our borders, whether ally or enemy, have no allegiance to our Constitutional Republic and no obligation to uphold the rights of the American people. Under any pretext, we will consider this an invasion and act of war.
An Important Message for
American Patriots
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MESSAGE
SEPTEMBER 2025 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
“Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.” Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
Dear Patriots,
Oath Keepers USA is about community. Broadly speaking, a community is a group of people with common interests who live in a particular area. Community is foundational to our mission.
Being prepared for societal breakdown or natural disasters is not just about weapons, gear, food and water. Those are a given. What matters is surviving, and survivability greatly increases when locals come together to help each other. Marxists, oligarchs, anarchists and opportunists justify violence and civil strife as a means to get what they want. We know this. We, therefore, must be proactive in developing now our mutual assistance groups.
How is that done? Build relationships with your neighbors. Talk to them! Introduce yourself, and tell them politics has nothing to do with your efforts to form a prepared community. Get to know them and develop trust. Discuss resources. Share knowledge. Emphasize that in every natural disaster that has ever occurred, it is the locals who have, out of necessity, responded first. Also, don’t make it an Oath Keepers USA recruiting effort. It’s not about that. It’s about creating a practical plan should the need ever arise.
Thanks to all our members for their time and support and for representing us so well in their communities. For those who are not yet members, we encourage you to apply or consider donating to help further our mission.
Educate, Serve and Prepare.
For the Republic
Guardians of the Republic, Stand Your Ground!
