Oath Keepers of Oregon, Linn and Benton County General Meeting

ATTENTION MEETING STARTS AT 5:30 PM - Come at 5:00 PM to order food.

Important: We will start the meeting at 5:30 PM but if you want to eat please come at 5:00 PM so that you can order and eat. You do not have to eat if you don't want to. It wasn't easy finding a free meeting spot that wasn't a food place.

As always we will talk about what Oath Keepers do to Reach, Teach and Inspire the importance of the Oath to the Constitution.

We will also continue setting up Community Preparedness Teams and talking about our progress, please read page at our national website here: http://oathkeepers.org/cpt-community-preparedness-teams

Please do not feel you're coming into this late if you haven't been to a meeting before. We always welcome new members and we'll get you up to speed the best we can.

Important: You do not have to be a member to attend our meetings but it helps to keep Oath Keepers going and being able to provide materials.

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving and retired military, reservists, National Guard, peace officers and veterans who swore an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. All Oath Keepers including active and retired first responders (policemen, firemen, etc.), citizen patriots, and the general public are welcome and highly encouraged to attend.
