Today, as many Americans believe that the Government of our own creation has effectively rendered its ruling class and standing armies as superior to our Civil power, some have realized our obligation to restore the authority of the people as the supreme rulers over the affairs of this nation.

Guided by this realization, some of the people of these United States have formed militia units scattered about the nation with a fundamental notion to defend our liberties. Of critical importance is that some groups claim a stated goal to overthrow a tyrannical government, operate in defiance of established law or exist under a shroud of secrecy, giving rise to a general public opinion that our citizen militias consist of rogue, decentralized groups of extremists that may be inclined to terrorize rather than to defend our nation.

As a matter of fact, truth dictates the acknowledgment that an abundance of laws have been declared to have been enacted contrary to the powers granted by the people, giving justification for measured defiance. However, absent majority public support of the people, the actions of such individuals or groups may adversely impact the overall strength and ability of the people to provide for its defense.

We hold that the strength of such individuals and groups acting alone or in secrecy, and without support, are inadequate to our requirements, although it is each persons right to defend life, liberty and property to the best of his or her ability whenever such rights are in peril.

We contend that each individual participating in the defense of our Civil power has a solemn duty to adhere to certain standards and pledge an oath and allegience to each other as brothers and sisters in arms.

For these reasons, we have formed the American Militia Association, which shall serve to educate the public as to the limited powers of our established government, the necessary exercise of our right to defend ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic, provide instruction and guidance for the establishment or advancement of militia units, to establish a certification for individuals and groups necessary to promote commonly accepted standards of training and practices that shall serve to improve the overall public image of the militia, increase its number of participants and promote its readiness through direct charitable contributions to eligible individuals and groups.

All natural born citizens of these United States of America are invited to enroll as a student and volunteer of the American Militia Association in accordance with the requirements of our "Enrollment Procedures".
