Walter Reddy - Founder of Committees of Safety

Walter Reddy has been a Constitutional Activist since 1970. Starting in 1970, he succeeded in collecting petitions which called for a Constitutional amendment, giving 18 year olds the right to vote, the 26th Amendment.

In 1993, he collaborated with a group of 10 Constitutional activists that lobbied Hawaii legislators and got them to introduce and pass a 10th Amendment resolution. Within 2 years, more than 22 States followed with similar legislation.

In 1994, Walter and other patriots converged on the Philadelphia, PA State Capital and successfully lobbied State legislators to stop the calling for a Constitutional Convention that would seek to replace the U.S. Constitution with a U.N."New States Constitution".

Later in 1994, after moving to Orange County, NY, he teamed up with a County legislator to draft legislation revitailizing the Orange County Militia. That work was stopped after the media's demonization of the word "militia" and their alledged involvement in the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City.

In 1996, he produced and hosted two television programs, one covered the Oklahoma City bombing - with guest Brig. General Ben Partin exposing how and where bombs were placed inside the federal building that blew the building from the inside out, the truck bomb only doing superficial damage. The question is, did Tim McVey and Terry Nichols have access to place bombs inside the federal building? The official version has never made that claim.

The second show covered Votescam: the stealing of America - with guest James Collier the author of this pioneering, documentary book on vote fraud.

In Feb. 2007 Walter met Ron Paul at the New Hampshire Free State Project's Liberty Forum and became a passionate grassroots activist in his Presidential campaign. Ron Paul is the Father of today's Tea Party movement, having raised an historic 6 million dollars that day Dec.16, 2007  (the anniversity of the original BostonTeaParty.) Walter joined Ron's son Rand Paul and a few hundred fellow patriots to celebrate that day at Faneuil Hall, (the Cradle of Liberty) Boston,MA. for the BostonTeaParty07.

On Independence day, July 4, 2008, Walter founded the Committees of Safety organization, which hosted last year's historic BostonTea Party event and will again host this year's event on 12-12-09 at Faneuil Hall, Boston, MA.

On April 19, 2009 Committees of Safety hosted their second event after a 2 month battle to get the permit for the official staging area at Lexington Green, Lexington, MA. The purpose of our Rally at Lexington was to honor and commemorate the courage of the 50 well organized Lexington Militiamen that "Stood their Ground" and refused to throw down their Arms when illegally ordered by the 800 British military troops. A British officer fired and "The Shot heard around the World" began America's War of Independence.

On this year's anniversary at Lexington Green, Committees of Safety invited the newly formed Oathkeepers to join us and 400 American Patriots ended the event by taking an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic and ending with pledging our lives, our fortune, and our sacred honor, so help us God.

Devvy Kidd - Constitutional Activist & Author

Founder and Director of the Project on Winning Economic Reform. This project is an on going educational effort, and not an organization.

POWER is a First Amendment grassroots effort to educate and motivate Americans to the mechanisms bringing America to ruin. Devvy's project distributed two booklets she authored: Why A Bankrupt America (1,650,000 copies sold) in 1993 which explained the Federal Reserve Banking system as well as the agenda well underway to integrate America under a one world government or new world order.

On September 29, 1993, POWER held a rally at the nation's capitol in Washington, DC . 1,780,000 petition signatures were brought from around the country to abolish the FED and IRS. They were delivered to Congress along with an additional 26,000 collected during the day.

Devvy's booklet, Blind Loyalty, (700,000 copies sold) was published in 1996 and is a massive collection of provable vote fraud and how electronic voting machines were stealing our elections. The theft continues with the machines, scanners and corrupt operations like ACORN.

Devvy has made guest appearances more than 2,500 times on talk radio shows plus countless personal speaking appearances. She ran for Congress in 1994 & 1996. After leaving the private sector and banking, she went on to various civilian positions with the Department of Defense. During her tenure as an Administrative Officer for the Department of the Army, she was responsible for contracts and budget management oversight in excess of $8,000,000.00.

Following this assignment and due to Devvy's husband's transfer, she became a Contract Administrator for the Department of Air Force, Air Force Space Command at Peterson AFB, Colorado. Devvy is a federal whistle blower. While at Peterson AFB, she filed a fraud, waste & abuse against her own job. The three-ring circus that followed is sadly all too typical of what happens to those who step forward with the truth.

Devvy's husband John is a retired United States Army Colonel. Upon his retirement after 27 years of honorable service, he continued his career in the private sector as a construction management engineer. John's 43 years of career pursuits came to an end when he retired for good on November 1, 2006. Devvy has one daughter.

Entering her 20th year of activism, Devvy has written thousands of columns. Her web site is: www.devvy.com
