I am amazed at the number of people who don't know the difference between a Law and an Executive Order. A Law is passed by the Legislative branch of government and must be obeyed by everyone. An Executive order is an order that only applies to the Executive branch of government. It does not apply to the people in general. It only applies to people who work for government Departments. Such as.... Dept of Justice, EPA, National Park Service, Treasury Dept, Defense Department, NASA, etc. Executive Orders are used as a form of Blackmail. If a State or other organization receives funds from the Government, then the funds can and will be cut off if they don't fall in line and kiss the Presidents ass. With that said, we Preppers, whether we realize it or not, are divorcing ourselves from the government and are becoming self-sufficient as much as possible. The people who have more than 3 braincells to rub together are forming a separate system that is pretty small but will effectively avoid governmental domination.
