My name is Jon Ritzheimer. I am a 31 year old United States Marine Combat Veteran. I served honorably for 10 years and was forced out do to a tattoo policy but still received an honorable discharge. I have a beautiful wife and 2 beautiful daughters ages 3 and 5. I have a 3000 sqft house in Arizona and I am living the American Dream. Why are you telling us this, you may be asking. Because I am showing you that I am an American Patriot who has everything to lose. I’ve had to kiss my family goodbye on 3 occasions now and didn’t know whether I would see them again. I am now planning on doing it again. On October 10th 2015, I, along with a growing number of patriots, will be saying goodbye to my loved ones once again and starting my journey from Arizona to Michigan. We are planning on driving through Texas to link up with more Marines and Patriots and then heading North towards Michigan. We are planning on arresting Senator Debbie Stabenow, who voted yes to the Iran Nuke Deal. She will be arrested for treason under Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution. We have chosen her as our first target due to our strong ties with the Michigan State Militia and their lax gun laws that will allow us to operate in a manner necessary for an operation like this. After we successfully detain her we will continue to move across the country and arrest everyone involved with the Iran Nuke Deal. Even the President who brokered this deal. America is still at war with terrorism and Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism throughout the globe. I have been to war and I do not want to see bloodshed in our own country. We do not seek violence but we will be armed and ready to defend and uphold our oath to the constitution. There is no reason these people can’t be held accountable and have their day in court. I have notified law enforcement about these intentions. We will be cooperating with them and try to keep this as smooth as possible so we don’t have another “Shot Heard Round The World” situation. If these people are innocent, then it should be proven in court. But there is overwhelming evidence stacked up against them that says otherwise. I am not seeking fame or fortune. I just want to ensure my children can grow up in a peaceful country. I am humbly accepting donations to help with fuel costs for our convoy at www.rogueinfidel.com but more than any amount of money I would rather have fellow patriots join me and go shoulder to shoulder with me. Our strength is in our numbers. We The People are what will fix the problems in our country. Not some election. I was sent to war twice under false pretenses and my brothers lost their lives so that a war profiteer could make a buck. But now I am following my heart and not just blindly going where some politician is pointing the finger. I am fully prepared for whatever may come my way. Even if that means death. Because it will at least be for a noble cause. I will end this message with a quote from a man who I strive to emulate.

Far be it for me to critique your... I suppose the word "Plan" will have to do in lieu of a better alternative. However, it seems to me that you may not have entirely thought things through. For a start I'm fairly sure that without law enforcement authority what you're doing is known as "Kidnapping a US Senator", something that to the best of my knowledge is frowned on.
Now that's not your main problem. People do illegal things all the time after all. Your main problem is that you let the entire internet know about your plans to commit this illegal action along with dates and plans. If anyone were interested in stopping you, such as say the FBI, you may reconsider the wisdom of this course of action.
Assuming that this is a true story and not some kind of "patriot"-baiting joke: Idiocy does not even begin to describe this. I honestly don't know where to start trashing this, this what-is-it, there's just so much to work with. So in short I'll just say: Real or fake I hope you enjoy the sound of people laughing at you.
John, you've decided that armed rebellion is preferable to the rule of law, and to the peace that the military has tried to obtain for us. I think that's called treason, and for a person who once swore to stand up for the United States, that's very sad indeed. I take heart in the fact that your fellow blowhards have mostly rethought.....er......chickened out.
Hi, there! I'm some random schmuck on the street who may or may have been a soldier in the past who may have a house, wife & kids (God help them since they have me) but who is now a nut who wants to kidnap a bunch of Senators and I'll yammer off some legalese why and blah blah blah about a Teabagger uprising blah blah because the Senators prevented a war with Iran and I'm a butthurt baby who hates peace and is blabbing at a webcam!
I read somewhere that his fellow nuts thought his plan was too nuts and backed out.
Hi! I'm John Ritzheimer and I look like a big thumb....
Hi, my name is John Ritzcrackers, and I got this idea where, in order to get the government to fight scary brown Muslim terrorists, I become an incompetent white guy terrorist.
Hi, I'm John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt and I've got such big brass balls,
I'm going to do the bravest, scariest thing ever;
We are planning on driving through Texas
{{oooohh}}
"Our strength is in our numbers. We The People are what will fix the problems in our country. Not some election. "
You know what that sounds like? A military coup.
You know, like the ones that install fascist dictators and such.
Half of me hopes this is real, just so that I see how this whole scheme turns out.
The other half is scared shitless that people like this really exist.
So you intend to shoot anyone who gets in your way ? that sounds a bit illegal. a citizens arrest may be legal , but then you hand them over to proper police and the courts. Perhaps you could just send a nice note to a District attorney to lay out the details of your charges. I think though that senetors who won a vote for specific legislation are just doing the job they were elected to do. You dont lije it ? wekk bad luck.
"I am living the American Dream."
Then you're asleep. Because you have to be asleep to believe in the American Dream.
As for the rest of this tripe, I would say he simply watched too many Chuck Norris films.
You telling us that you served honorably means little or nothing, really.
What was the tattoo policy; were you forced to get a tattoo that you didn't want, or did you have a tattoo that they didn't like? Didn't you know about the policy before you got or refused to get a tattoo?
Beautiful wife and children also has little to do with being a patriot; everyone probably thinks his/her children are beautiful, and you could have waited with having children until you could be at home to take care of them.
Let me get this straight; you want to attack a person who's using her "God-given" right of democratic vote?
The odds are higher that YOU will be arrested for treason, dumbass.
You do know that the Iran Deal will RESTRICT Iran's possibilities to produce nuclear weapons, right?
Sorry, no, Saudi Arabia is the leading sponsor of terrorism throughout the globe.
You have notified law enforcement? Well, they'll be at your door any day, to "help you on your way", dearie.
Innocent of what? Using their vote in an open election?
Honey, you ought to go where politicians point; your heart isn't steering you right.
Hi guys, I'm a guy posting in internet that
A)is lying
B)if he's right has a life that many people would like, not just Syrian refugees.
Therefore, I'm a crying baby
"She will be arrested for treason under Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution."
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Yeah, somehow I think making international agreements aimed at preventing nuclear proliferation does not quite meet that definition.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the SAS, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and I have over 9,000 confirmed kills. I am trained in guerilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire British armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the UK and your IP is being traced by GCHQ right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United Kingdom Special Air Service and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable arse off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Since Congress will be in session in October, I don't think Sen. Stabenow will be in Michigan. As you "move across the country" you'll almost certainly find the same thing everywhere. Why not head for DC and arrest all of Congress while it's sitting in session? Someone with 10 years of military experience should have more sense.
However, since GoFundMe has cancelled your account and the FBI is already keeping a close eye on you, I doubt you'll make it to the city limits before being arrested.
FFS! There is no "Iran nuke deal". The deal PREVENTS Iran getting nukes for at least fifteen years. You're trying to arrest Stabinow and Obama for teh crime of being Democrats and using diplomacy.
That's if you're actually a marine, which I highly doubt.
We are planning on arresting Senator Debbie Stabenow, who voted yes to the Iran Nuke Deal. She will be arrested for treason
So, you're going to be committing treason by arresting a congress member for "treason?"
She will be arrested for treason under Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution.
I don't see where the Constitution defines treason as "voting for something right wing nutjobs don't like."
I have been to war and I do not want to see bloodshed in our own country. We do not seek violence but we will be armed
So you don't want violence but you'll be armed to the teeth during your little insurrection. That makes about as much sense as committing treason by "arresting" an elected representative for treason.
I just want to ensure my children can grow up in a peaceful country.
Where armed gangs force their political will upon the rest of the country in violation of the law. Yeah, sounds great.
Our strength is in our numbers.
Why do I think this will go the way of "Operation American Spring" and the "Million Trucker Shutdown of America?" As in, nobody will notice?
@ Churchy LaFemme
Someone with 10 years of military experience should have more sense.
You've never been in the military.
Neither has "sense". Been there, done that.
Assuming he's not making it up, or is serious but already got stopped because no one else would agree to go with him: why do I get the feeling he'll be stymied in his attempts to get weapons by admitting his intentions to the gun store clerk?
"Hi, I'm a former Marine who went nuts and is going to kidnap multiple US Senators who I've decided are traitors because they don't want to fight a third fucking war in the Middle East! What's the biggest gun you've got?"
"Get the hell out of my store."
1- The majority of terrorist acts performed worldwide are political in nature, not religious. The majority of Islamic terror attacks are performed by Sunnis, whom Shiite Iran would never fund. And the majority or terrorist acts in the US are performed by white, Christian "sovereign citizens".
2-You have no jurisdictional power to arrest anyone. Citizens' arrests do not extend to crimes of treason against the state.
3- Methinks you won't even get enough gas money from your deadbeat rednecks to get out of the driveway.
4- I would love to see the Secret Services' reaction to a bunch of armed, crazed dudes trying to storm the Rose Garden.
5- The USMC can kick you out for tattoos? What the heck did you get???
6- You, and people like you, are why we shouldn't automatically respect veterans.

I am with the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia (SMVM), one of the oldest active militias in Michigan. For the past 21 years (from the days of Norm Olson) we have publicly met and held training events each and every month...... we work and communicate with many Militia's of Michigan..... the III%'s, Michigan Home Guard, Black Creek Volunteers, Sentinel's, Southwest Michigan Volunteer Militia (SWMVM), Michigan Militia Corps Wolverines (MMCW), Genesee County Volunteer Militia (GCVM), Down River Militia (DVM), Superior Unorganized Michigan Militia (SUMM)....... These are all above ground and public militias.
We know of no militia in Michigan that is participating in these actions, also we do not appreciate armed out-of-state groups invading Michigan and throwing around the "Michigan Militia" name as participants.

Bravo! Bravo! Well done John! Lol! I encourage you to multitask more often. Please do much, much more of the typing whilst masturbating trick, it's hilarious. It's like you are the dork brain that keeps on giving.
Yeah, swastika tattoos are frowned upon by the UCMJ. Enjoy your life of unemployment, alcohol abuse, rage at the liberals, and child-support payments.
Why do I get the feeling this is going to be just like the time they tried to get a protest together to impeach President Obama. They'll talk a huge game about having 10 bajillion combat veterans with awesome mega well thought out arguments... only to have 15 people show up who's major gripe is "where da burth sirtifficut?"
You'll have like 6 guys, most of which have never served a day in their life, you'll get as far as the New Mexico border before somebody remembers they left the oven on, and so will end your little coup.
Here's the thing, nobody's worried because we all know exactly how much follow through the far-right crowd has. The second there's even the slightest bit of effort required to accomplish their goal *poof* out go the grand schemes.
That, or your asses will just get arrested. Let's see you Kim Davis your way out of a literal treason sentence.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
