MT Group Demands Local Leaders Boot Feds, Form Militia, Protect Guns
Justin Elliott | January 22, 2010, 2:45PM


A group of nearly 200 "extremely concerned citizens" in a small Montana county are demanding that local leaders fill out a "questionnaire" pledging to form a local militia, prohibit mandatory vaccinations, boot the EPA out of town, allow citizens to bear any type of gun, and require federal government employees to get written approval before approaching "any Citizen."

Organized in part by a group called Celebrating Conservatism, which is lead by a woman who quit the state GOP after complaining of "fake" Republicans, the questionnaire was presented this week to the county commissioners and sheriff of Ravalli County, according to the local Republic newspaper.

Celebrating Conservatism's worldview appears to be rooted in the militia movement. Last year it hosted Jack McLamb, head of the Idaho-based Police and Military Against the New World Order, which agitates against "world government rule."

Ravalli County, population 35,000, sits about an hour south of Missoula in southwestern Montana.

The Ravalli questionnaire, which you can read here, demands that local officials pledge:

3. Why do they need "any" type of gun? Let's roll that one back to something sensible.

4. They're-coming-for-our-guns mentality
Gun paranoia hit an all time high in recent months. Gun sales in the US were up 74% in the first nine months of the Obama administration.

6. That sort of thing worked out very well for the Confederacy, didn't it
What these people are attempting is a defacto secession.
