Group advocating for militia meets in East Helena

A meeting to discuss a movement that advocates for restoring a militia, taking Congress out of Washington, D.C., and returning the power that Congress has taken from the people, was held Tuesday night in East Helena.

The “Tactical Civics” meeting was held at the Canyon Ferry Road Baptist Church, however, it was not a church-sanctioned event. An Independent Record reporter who attempted to attend the meeting was told he was trespassing and asked to leave.

Steve Wagner, head of Montana Tactical Civics, told Montana Gazette Radio on March 25 that he believes most Americans do not like what is going on in Washington, D.C. He said most people are not “real happy with what has become with U.S. governmental system” and that is why he got involved in Tactical Civics.

He described it as a “restoration of our organic law, it is not a new thing to overthrow the government or push a political agenda on people,” he said. “It’s comprehensive, it’s peaceful and lawful.”

Despite the claims made later in the article, they sound like another group of insurrectionists to me.

friends suddenly tips the scale and overrules your sense of avoiding being on an FBI watch list? Hmmmm. It's on the tip of my tongue.

Anyway, seems like the far right is full of these wannabes. Sorry to say.

Another pathetic group claiming it alone understands the one, true meaning of democracy, and the human rights that go along with it.

About Us
We are living in a pivotal, exciting period of American history. The seemingly insoluble challenges can in fact be met by simply enforcing our Constitution for the first time since its ratification.

Tactical Civics Institute is the 501(c)(3) organization founded to support the research, educational and branding projects of AmericaAgain! Trust under the TACTICAL CIVICS™ brand as well as the nonprofit single-purpose project Our First Right, Inc, directed to preserving American liberty and Christian civilization.

We are not lobbyists, nor do we push particular legislation, endorse candidates or work for political parties. We simply promote self-government as envisioned by the framers of the U.S. Constitution, focusing on projects to educate Americans in civics and revive the inherent enforcement mechanisms of our highest law, thus helping Americans return to our duty for self-government.

In all of history, popular sovereignty has often been theorized – most perfectly in the U.S. Constitution – but never actually executed. Today, over 330 million Americans act like hostages on a hijacked plane: perennially complaining in fear, but with no intention of lifting a finger or leaving their seats. Overwhelmed by social media and ‘news’, they are led to believe they can do nothing about the nightmare.

TACTICAL CIVICS™, through gradual, sequential education, strong national branding, and complete logistics and support, seeks to support widespread American repentance and responsible self-government. Through 12 years and over 60,000 hours of due diligence and R&D by 39 volunteers, AmericaAgain! Trust has developed TACTICAL CIVICS™ to deliver actionable value to the small remnant who will take responsibility for the toughest challenge and most exciting opportunity in history: popular constitutionalism.
