Remembering J6ers

Some of you will recall that LPRW held an Inaugural Ball in January, emcee’d by Shane Witcher who is a J6er. We were all praying for him: that Trump would pardon those who stood for election integrity, the US Constitution and freedom, yet paid a heavy price. Today, Shane sent this:

Five years ago today, myself and 1500 other Patriots, and sons and daughters of the Republic chose to respond to the provocations and criminal actions of a tyrannical government and enter the Capitol. 

We were there to petition for a redress of grievances with our government as is our Right under the 1st Amendment of our Constitution.

The governments and medias reaction was to persecute, prosecute and destroy the lives of Americans who dared to question the outcome of an election.

Today, five years later I have only one regret. That we did not hold our house that day. That the moment did not serve as a catalyst to end this corrupt, criminal, tyrannical government once and for all and replace it with men and women of vision, of courage, steeped in American values and traditions. So that one day America and her people may reach our full potential and realize the dream of our founders.

Happy J6 Day America. Freedom is not free.
