Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Unlawful arrest and detention
Brandon Raub. Decorated Marine Corps war vet exercised his first amendment rights on facebook. Below is the post he made...
http://wtvr.com/2012/08/21/full-text...republic-back/
As a result of his post, the FBI arrested him, and took him to a "mental hospital" for evaluation, and he was supposed to be in front of a Judge on Monday just passed. Yesterday, the following text was received via Brandon's brother...
Via Brent M Raub : Big update on Brandon Raub.He being transferred to Va hospital in Salem.Close to Roanoke. Their Agenda is to hide him from the people.To complicate things for our Lawyers and to keep my family from being able to contact him.
This patriot deserves the help and support of the people. If you can find it in your heart to do so, please donate what you can to the following fund for his defense. His mom and family are devastated over this. It is a serious injustice and total violation of his guaranteed constitutional rights.

In one message earlier this month according to authorities, Raub wrote: "Sharpen my axe; I'm here to sever heads."
I'm all for freedom of speech but if you choose the wrong words it will cost you. I dont understand the defense fund. He has not been charged with a crime and has a lawyer to look out for his interest from civil liberties group.
The family posted one of the facebook postings but here are others that federal agents contend posts made by Raub were “terrorist in nature.”

And how doea that statement vonstitute a direct threat or act of terrorism? No names or direct threats occured.
Civil liberties groups don't work for free there are fees involved. But I'm not going to turn this into a debate. You don't want to contribute...don't.

The 30 day evaluation isn't free either. Tax payer paid. I'm just saying there's more than just "My civil rights have been violated" stuff going on here.

aub is being represented by attorneys associated with the Rutherford Institute, a Charlottesville, VA based civil liberties organization that provides free legal services to people whose constitutional and human rights have been threatened or violated.

While I don't disagree with much of what he said, they're probably making an example of him through the UCMJ. If he's out, but he's inactive ready, receiving any sort of monetary benefit, still receiving VA healthcare for an injury, etc, they can unfortunately nail him to the wall for those kind of comments.
Don't like it a bit, though.

The fundraising request is for $10,000. If he is receiving free legal representation, exactly why are these funds needed?

It seems that the definition of "terrorism" has become like modeling clay lately. Of course, everyone will be against terrorism. Just adapt the definition of the term to fit whatever circumstance you wish it to apply to.
Of COURSE the government is terrified of the populace waking up and demanding our country back from their grubby little paws.

Free Legal Representation will not vindicate this man,"the need" is for Legitimate Representation.
This event will "become" very hard to follow in the coming weeks.

The moment they started using words like homeland security, domestic terrorism and 911 I started worrying.
