Formation of the Arizona Committee of Safety
Gary Hunt
Outpost of Freedom
January 25, 2012
This past October 21st, a number of concerned citizens of Arizona got
together to form a group that was originally billed as the Border
Patriots Advisory Committee. That name, however, limited their purpose
to strictly border matters. It failed to recognize that such a group
could have an expanded role based upon the revolutionary history of the
United States of America.
Having some foresight into consideration of this expanded purpose, one
of the members brought to that meeting some "propose by-laws" for a
Committee of Safety (see Introduction to Committees of Safety
<http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/blog/?p=428> ). The expanded purpose,
from those by-laws:
Purpose: The Purpose will be to provide for the Safety, Protection and
Security of the lawful inhabitants of Arizona, especially in those areas
where the federal and state government have failed to provide such
protection. All activity is to be in adherence to the Arizona
Constitution and the Constitution for the United States.
The by-laws established a leadership structure along with rules that
were written to maintain discipline amongst the members, during
meetings, establishing an executive board and a general association (see
Committees of Safety and the General Association
<http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/blog/?p=504> ), and even establishing
how the Committee would related to Militia.
During that meeting, it was decided to pursue the Committee of Safety
approach and that the nest few meetings would be devoted to reviewing
the by-laws, making recommendations for changes, and then adopting the
by-laws and establishing the first Committee of Safety in Arizona's
history.
Two meetings later, on December 2, 2011, the Arizona Committee of Safety
became reality when 22 members subscribed to the General Association,
signed the Secrecy Oath, and adopted the by-laws, with mostly minor
changes.
The significant change in the proposed by laws went from an Executive
Board comprised of 5 members elected from the General Association, and
additional members being added at one per County Committee of Safety as
they joined the state Committee to an Executive Board comprised only of
two delegates from each County Committee, once established, the only
other voting member being the Chairman of the Arizona Committee of
Safety who would have only a tie-breaking vote.
The General Association will handle the general administrative functions
of the ACoS while any decision of importance would required a vote of
the Executive Board. The Executive Board, being comprised of people who
have been sent up from the County Committee is, truly, grass roots --
all significant decisions will be made by those who have not come from
nowhere, rather, those who have worked their way up, one step at a time,
through the ranks, as the Founders did.
Their next meeting was held on January 13, 20012. By meeting's end, they
had 30 subscribers, a 36% increase, in their first month. At this
meeting, they made some necessary changes to the by-laws -- to deal with
circumstances that they realized needed to be addressed before any
problems. They had a raffle and a donation can (there are no charges for
membership or participation in meetings) and raised $89.
Some highlights of the accomplishments achieved, to date, by the Arizona
Committee of Safety:
* Established sub-committees on Militia; Fund Raising; Field Shoot
(see below); Intelligence; and, Membership.
* The Field Shoot sub-committee has a Patriot Day Shoot planned
for February 18, 2012, the first event sponsored by the ACoS
* Nearly 1,000 flyers announcing the Field Shoot were handed out
at a Phoenix Gun Show on Saturday, January 21, and the recipients often
asked for an explanation of the Arizona Committee of Safety (as sponsor
of the Shoot), to which the were cordially educated on both history and
purpose of the Committees of Safety. Many expressed interest and will be
attending the next meeting.
Arrangements are being made to allow "virtual attendance and
participation" at Arizona Committee of Safety meetings via Skype, since
there are many who are interested though unable to afford the time
and/or expense of traveling hundreds of miles to attend. The ACoS is
optimistic that this approach will open the ACoS up to people who would
otherwise not be able to participate in this historic event, and
encourage them to establish a county or local Committee of Safety in
their own communities.
At least three counties have had initial meetings to establish
Committees of Safety. Whichever County first establishes and sends
delegates to the Arizona Committee of Safety meeting will have the honor
of signing the County Delegate Scroll in the manner of John Hancock on
the Declaration of Independence. The first three counties to send
delegates will, forever, be honored as the Charter members of the
Arizona Committee of Safety. These records, as well as all of the
minutes and other documents, will be bound for permanent record -- a
message to our Posterity that those who participated in the Arizona
Committee of Safety were determined not to pass the problems prevalent
in this country on to their children.
