Ex-Marine Brandon Raub was detained last week for Facebook posts. Brandon was detained by the FBI and Secret Service for coded things he put on his Facebook wall. He is now being detained for 30 days after a hearing on his medical condition was performed with a government-sponsored medical doctor and the magistrate present.
The Rutherford Institute came to the defense of this honorable Marine today. In an official press release, they said:
"The Rutherford Institute has come to the defense of a former Marine, 26-year-old Brandon Raub, who was arrested, detained indefinitely in a psych ward and forced to undergo psychological evaluations based solely on the controversial nature of lines from song lyrics, political messages and virtual card games which he posted to his private Facebook page."

We once used to say we are a nation of Laws rather than of men. Recently, Jan Schakowsky, D-IL, Health Sub-Committee Member, made a comment at a speech that we derive our rights and wealth from the Government; that we have no rights other than what the Government grants us. Someone from the audience called out that she was wrong. This elected official yelled over the constituent and scolded him for being ignorant. This is also a fight to RECLAIM the meaning of the words of our Constitution and re-affirm that WE are a REPUBLIC and the elected are sent to Congress by the People, not by the Government. Authority is derived from the CONSENT of the governed. We can be bold or be timid. But, our fate is rests with that decision.
