Dear CCTA Members and Friends,


As many of you know, we asked Sheriff Jerry Monette to sign the pledge sponsored by the Oath Keepers for sheriffs to make to uphold the oath that they took upon entering the office of Sheriff to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of North Carolina, to oppose the current gun control scemes and any attemp to register gun owners or their firearms. The rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

We are happy to report to you that Sheriff Monette has indeed sighned that pledge and retured it to the Oath Keepers. The list is now up to 444 Sheriffs and 18 State Associations.

You can find a copy of the oath HERE.

Respectfully submitted,
Mark Jones

Join us for this exciting workshop on the U.S. and North Carolina Constitutons.

What would the Federalists and Anti-federalists say about the current political and economic crises? In a continuing effort to understand how the Founding Era relates to our current constitutional crisis, we offer this new workshop that focuses on what is arguably the most important debate of the Founding Era. The Federalist supported and Anti-Federalists opposed the ratification of the Constitution written in Philadelphia in 1787. Their arguments about the fundamental principles of our constitutional government still speak to us 224 years later.

Understanding this debate among some of our most famous founders enables us to clarify our present predicament. Even though they engaged in a vigorous and sometimes bitter debate over the meaning of the Constitution, both sides would be horrified with how the Constitution has been twisted and distorted by the progressive ideology, liberal court justices and presidents and congressmen all too willing to expand government to assure their immediate re-election.

A more fundamental understanding of this Founding Era debate will help us restore the Constitution to its proper place as the bedrock of our Republic.
