Public Party Statement
We in the Conservative Coalition do not condone rebellion or the use of force as a political tool, and deplore actions such as that Gen. Hartwell is accused of. However, let us not forget the basic principles of liberty and justice upon which this Republic is founded. Suspects are "innocent until proven guilty," but the actions taken against Gen. Hartwell suggest that the current government thinks that the general is guilty until proven innocent. We must be vigilant to protect our Republic and its ideals from those who wouldst destroy them, but we must not forsake those ideals in the process. Those who would do so pose as much of a threat to this Republic from the inside by zeal as those who would destroy it from the outside by force
