A Message From The Sheriff: Perseverance – AUGUST 2017 NEWSLETTER

Late last month I had the pleasure to meet with Ted Nugent to discuss a project the CSPOA has been engaged in since February of this year. The Freedom Coalition was founded to help free innocents who are victims of federal bureaucratic overreach. It has been a hard row to hoe when it comes to getting our congressmen and senators to act on this crucial matter.
Thus far, Sam Girod, an Amish man from Bath County, KY, has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for making a harmless all natural salve from natural ingredients found in many American homes. The Hammonds still sit behind bars after satisfying their first sentence, because lighting a back fire is such an abhorrent crime in America that punishment deserves the revocation of the most basic Constitutional right of not being subjected to double jeopardy.
Shane Cox and Jeremy Kettler of Kansas are still considered felons for firearms activities allowed by the state law and in Nevada. Innocent patriots are left to the mercy of an activist judge who has interjected herself into the prosecution in the Bundy re-trial going on now.
The odds are still in our favor though, because we have the one thing that they don’t… perseverance. Just like the founders, the patriot community is very loyal and we never give up. Though there is enough bad news to go around I do have some great news!
I was recently in Washington DC, and had a meeting with Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana which went very well. Congressman Higgins may be the first congress member to jump on board with The Freedom Coalition. This is great news but even greater is the news we have from rock legend Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent has now doubled down and is all-in on assisting the innocents in prison. At our meeting we had the opportunity to discuss the greatest crime in America, and I want you see what that is. Thanks for all of your support and keep up the fight for the sacred cause of liberty!

Dirty Deeds: An Inside Look At Civil Asset Forfeiture
By Rick Dalton
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently announced a re-invigoration of the Civil Asset Forfeiture program, which basically allows police to seize money and valuable property from citizens who are suspected of acquiring those assets through criminal activity, without charging the suspects with a crime. Ostensibly aimed at criminal enterprises like drug cartels and fraudulent artifices, Civil Asset Forfeiture has left many horror stories in its wake.
Here’s more detail as written by Donald Mitchell for the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE.org): “Because America’s Founding Fathers properly wanted to protect citizens from government abuse, the Constitution has several provisions (presumption of innocence, ban on warrantless searches, right to jury trial, 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination, and other due process legal protections) to protect our liberties.”
So one can only imagine how Jefferson, Madison, Mason, et al, must be rolling in their graves as they contemplate the disgusting practice of civil asset forfeiture, which basically allows agents of the government in the modern era to steal property from people who have not been convicted of any crime.”
From our CSPOA Statement of Positions:
Asset Forfeiture Programs These are state and federal programs. According to the FBI:
“The Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program encompasses the seizure and forfeiture of assets that represent the proceeds of, or were used to facilitate federal crimes. The primary mission of the Program is to employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that enhances public safety and security. This is accomplished by removing the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and their associates to perpetuate their criminal activity against our society. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal organizations that would continue to function if we only convicted and incarcerated specific individuals.” Source: http://www.justice.gov/afp The problem, as it is explained by the Institute for Justice, is that every year, police and prosecutors across the United States take hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, cars, homes and other property-regardless of the owners’ guilt or innocence. Under civil forfeiture laws, the government can seize this property on the mere suspicion that it is connected to criminal activity. No charges or convictions are required. And once property is seized, owners must navigate a confusing, complex and often expensive legal process to try to win it back. Worst of all, most civil for asset forfeiture laws give law enforcement agencies a powerful incentive to take property: a cut, or even all, of forfeiture proceeds….
Forfeited cash and proceeds from the sale of forfeited property generate revenue for the government-and provide an important measure of law enforcement’s forfeiture activity.

Police should be required to charge a citizen with a crime, and obtain a conviction prior to seizing any private property. Several states have passed laws to curb the many abuses of this well-intentioned yet mal-administered law, which is unconstitutional. We urge everyone to contact the Justice Department and object to this bad idea.
