Oath Keepers want sheriffs back as top cop

[ninepointfive]

Our very own liberty Sheriff candidates, Carl Bruning (http://carlbruning.com) and Bill Hunt are mentioned!

The entire story can be found here (http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/national/story/7696787/)

"It is time for the sworn protectors of liberty, the Sheriffs of these United States of America, to walk tall and stand up for our Constitution and Bill of Rights," proclaimed Larimer County, Colo., candidate Carl Bruning (http://carlbruning.com) in his campaign literature.

In Orange County, Calif., Oath Keeper Bill Hunt (http://www.billhuntforsheriff2010.com/) said California needs strong sheriffs to stand up to the federal government in the modern day wars over water, and to stick up for citizens who have a hard time getting concealed weapons permits.

Fine as long as Sheriffs are not into the dog and pony show of getting federal funding.

Sheriffs are electable US Marshalls, FBI, CIA, BATF, FDA are not.

I have a feeling Carl won't be making buddy buddy with the feds. Basically, his opponent brags about being trained by the feds. He's also not going to protect second amendment rights like Carl Bruning will. Jim Alderden is incorrectly cited as Carl's opponent, but this isn't true. Alderden has actually endorsed Carl Bruning's (http://carlbruning.com) opponent in this election.


Jim Alderden http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site21/2009/1025/20091025__alderden_500.jpg is of course the Sheriff of the Balloon Boy fiasco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_boy_hoax) which occurred in Larimer County, Colorado. Larimer County Sheriff homepage

Here's Jim Alderden's controversial "Bulls Eye" online newsletter (http://www.larimersheriff.org/Bullseye/). He's quite the loudmouth, and it sometimes gets him in trouble in the local community.

CARL’S NOTE: The Associated Press didn’t get all their facts straight in this article. I am not running against an incumbent, Sheriff James Alderden, nor am I a “retired” Air Force pilot (I served our country with pride as a USAF pilot for 7 years, 4 months). http://carlbruning.com/about/dd214-military-records/

"It is time for the sworn protectors of liberty, the Sheriffs of these United States of America, to walk tall and stand up for our Constitution and Bill of Rights," proclaimed Larimer County, Colo., candidate Carl Bruning in his campaign literature.

The retired Air Force pilot is running against an incumbent, Sheriff James Alderden, who himself is popular with the gun rights supporters for refusing to enforce a Colorado State University gun ban.

But Bruning even goes further by vowing to never enter the names of concealed-carry permit holders into the statewide database.
