The Militia serves the most vital role
in the checks and balances necessary for the security of a free state. Without the Militia, the Utah and US Constitutions are just a piece of paper.
UTAH CONSTITUTION:
Article xv, Section 1.
[How constituted.]
The militia shall consist of all able-bodied male inhabitants of the State, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years,
except such as are exempted by law.
Article xv, Section 2.
[Organization and equipment.]
The Legislature shall provide by law for the organization, equipment and discipline of the militia, which shall conform as nearly
as practicable to the regulations for the government of the armies of the United States.
While Article xv, Section 1 cites
compulsory participation by all able-bodied male inhabitants between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, the Militia of Utah favors
voluntary participation by all able-bodied men and women of the State, from age eighteen to sixty years and older.
A modest monthly contribution by inactive and nonparticipants should, in fairness, be provided to the Militia1 for “the organization, equipment
and discipline of the militia” (Article xv, Section 2).
The Militia
is a responsible community devoted to the people of Utah who stand against its enemies, and benefit and protect the citizens of Utah. We are also devoted to providing a learning source for the modern citizen soldier.
The Militia
is not a private militia, anti-government, an anarchy, nor a terrorist group. As a governmental establishment, we resolve to achieve constitutionalism, individual rights and limited government;
the very principles by which this nation was founded. Our priority is to see the government restored and maintained to its original constitutional form.
We
oppose the following:
|
Slavery, Socialism,
Fascism, Communism, the New World Order — in other words, the philosophies of all tyrannies
A police state, the federalization and militarization of our local police, the United Nations
or any global peacekeeping forces whose Charters are incompatible with the Constitution
Unrestrained government, political democracy, wealth distribution, crony Capitalism, corporate plunder,
censorship — any compromise to our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property
|
|
We
firmly support Individual Rights for every individual, including the
Rights of Life, Liberty and Property and the Right to resist tyranny
and the usurpation of constitutionally delegated powers as enumerated
in the Declaration of Independence, equal opportunity for all and
special privilege for none.
Racism
has no place in the Militia. All are created equal here and you
must respect your fellow members. Slurs, baiting another member,
antagonizing, disrespect, or demeaning another member are grounds for
immediate termination of your membership.
We
DO NOT advocate the violent overthrow of the state of Utah or
the United States Government.
We
DO NOT advocate the use of force offensively when no
hostilities are in effect.
We
DO pledge our lives, honor, and fortunes to ensure that our
State lives on forever in freedom.
It is the duty of everyone to help
recruit more members. Invite neighbors to Meet & Greets2, talk with friends and family, call talk radio, promote at gun shows, on the internet, look
for or create community events we can participate in, do what you can to get the word out and let people know we’re here for them.
You
will be discharged for:
|
Advocating
any constitutionally illegal activity
Advocating
first strike military action of any kind
A
call to arms without Command Staff approval
Violating
any of the rules previously stated
Treating
a Utah citizen with disrespect, threatening remarks, intimidation, or assault of any kind
Possession
or consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs at Militia sanctioned events to include musters, training, recruiting events,
public outreach or support activities, or any venue in which such behavior is normally deemed inappropriate
|
|
If
you ever hear someone saying any of the following, you must report it immediately to your Chain of Command:
|
Members
making racial slurs
Members
discussing or planning the illegal use of explosives
Members
discussing or planning any kind of assassination
Members
calling for violence when no defensive action is proper
Members
suggesting attacking local, county or state law enforcement or
federal agents or their headquarters or other buildings

3On-duty members
must remain apolitical. While off-duty members naturally have the freedom to express their personal politics, members who mutually
agree to discuss politics with other off-duty members must remain courteous and always refrain from creating division.
