The Media Will Never Report What These Elected Officials Just Did For The Bundys . The purpose of this effort, Rhodes explained, is to give the federal government added incentive to reconsider any plans for a violent raid.
…Nevada Sen. Harry Reid declared the situation is “not over,” and many officials are prepared for a resurgence of excessive force by federal agencies. According to OathKeepers spokesperson Stewart Rhodes, a coalition of elected officials from a number of Western states have signed on to stand with the Bundy family in an effort to dissuade such a siege.
