Oath Keepers National BOD Member and Security Operations Leader, John Karriman on Watch in Ferguson\u00a0<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n OFFER OF PROTECTION TO ELECTORS:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oath Keepers is hereby issuing a standing offer of volunteer protection to any of the Electoral College Electors who may feel threatened or in danger from leftist radicals attempting to coerce them into changing their vote as Electors.<\/p>\n Any Elector who wants our assistance may contact us at:\u00a0 electors@oathkeepers.org<\/strong><\/p>\n Please feel free to repost this notice online, or to pass on to Electors who may need our help.\u00a0 However, Electors are encouraged to initiate contact with us through the above oathkeepers.org email address only and to be wary of anyone contacting them through other means, claiming to be from Oath Keepers.\u00a0 If in doubt, email us to verify.<\/p>\n All communications and requests from electors will be kept in the strictest confidence, and only vetted, trusted, qualified Oath Keepers members will be dispatched to provide security.<\/p>\n That protection can be overt or covert, or a combination of those two postures, at the discretion of the Elector after consultation with our security team leaders, and will consist of our unpaid volunteer retired police officers and experienced combat veterans with personal security detail training and experience.\u00a0\u00a0 We can, and will, provide this protection from now through their vote on December 19. 2016, and even thereafter if they still feel threatened by terrorists seeking reprisal and punishment for the Electors not bending to their will.<\/p>\n CALL TO ACTION:<\/strong>\u00a0 Due to the gravity of the threat to our Republic from terrorists attempting to steal the election through coercion, this is also a call to action to our state and local leaders, and in particular to our Community Preparedness Team (CPT) leaders, to prepare security details in each of the targeted states to be on standby for immediate deployment if a request for protection comes in from an Elector.<\/p>\n WHY WE ARE DOING THIS:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 In the wake of President-Elect Donald Trump\u2019s victory on Election Night, Republican Electors across the country have received an increasing wave of harassment<\/a> and threats<\/a>, in the form of phone calls, emails, messages on social media, and even in-person visits to their homes, by leftists who seek to pressure those Electors into changing their votes from Trump to Clinton when the Electoral College meets on December 19, 2016.\u00a0 Such harassment and threats intensified after anti-Trump groups published online<\/a> the names, addressed, phone numbers, emails, gender, and race of Republican Electors in states that went for Trump.<\/p>\n According to the Detroit News, one of the Republican Electors for Michigan, Michael Banerian, has received multiple death threats:<\/p>\n On Dec. 19, the 22-year-old Banerian is scheduled to join 15 other Michiganians to cast their electoral votes for Republican President-elect Donald Trump. But Trump\u2019s opponents have deluged Banerian and other GOP electors with pleas and nasty emails to reverse course and cast their ballots for Clinton, according to the Michigan Republican Party.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have people saying \u2018you\u2019re a hateful bigot, I hope you die,\u2019 \u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve had people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out. And I\u2019ve received dozens and dozens of those emails. Even the non-threatening-my-life emails are very aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n The Detroit News verified one message containing a death wish and another containing a death threat, in which the person told Banerian he would \u201cput a bullet\u201d in his mouth. Banerian said he deleted the rest of the emails and messages \u201cbecause as you can imagine they\u2019re clogging up my email.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEven if I could, I wouldn\u2019t be remotely interested in changing my vote,\u201d said Banerian, a political science senior at Oakland University and youth vice chair of the Michigan Republican Party. \u201cThe people of Michigan spoke, and it\u2019s our job to deliver that message.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Below is a video interview with Mr. Banarian, discussing the threats:
