An anti-government group that recently sent letters to all 50 governors demanding they leave office within three days claims that their ideology is non-violent and inspired by the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi.
The Guardians of the free Republics stated in a letter that they are a peaceful organization and stress faith over armed conflict, the Christian Science Monitor reported.
"We would simply like to urge patriots everywhere to champion their faith instead of force, and allow The Restore America Plan an uneventful 30 to 60 days for visible implementation which will ultimately end the bogus prosecutions and terrorist activities once and for all," wrote Sam Kennedy, a member of the organization.
The letters sent out this week by Guardians of the free Republics asked the governors to leave office within three days or they would be removed. There were no details regarding how exactly that would be achieved.
The FBI warned that the letters could incite violence and some states beefed up security.
The letters arrived a few days after members of a Christian militia were arrested in several Midwestern states and charged with plotting violent acts against local police.
The Guardians are believed to be part of a "sovereign citizen" movement that is anti-capitalist, against taxation and demanding the abolishment of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Although most anti-government movements lately have been from militant organizations, The Guardians are believed to be a peaceful organization spawned from the anti-IRS Posse Comitatus movement of the 1980s.
The group's ultimate goal is to “restore America” to a government which is unable to tax its citizens.
