Shown above is Rick Light Texas State Militia Commander
Attention all Patriot's Defense Corps Members and Friends of the PDC please share this so that it will go viral. An attempt has been made by another militia leader to attack the Integrity of the PDC and myself. Help us get the truth out. Thanks
Rebuttal of Rick Light Texas State Militia Commander:
The following is an Email I received From Commander Rick Light of the Texas State Militia threatening to defame myself and the Patriot’s Defense Corps. Mr. Light contact me recently by phone and presumed to tell me how the Patriot’s Defense Corps should be ran and that we should contact the FBI and work with them as he does. Mr. Light is not a member of the Patriot’s Defense Corps and has no authority over me or the PDC. The rest is included in my response. I ordered my people to keep this private but as his email states Mr. Light wishes to take this into public forum. After my response I am attaching links internet articles I found that confirmed my suspicions to my , and the satisfaction of the PDC leadership that with that many allegations against Mr. Light we could not risk trusting him or Andrew J. Fletcher who is also mentioned in my reply. Note I said allegations. We simply took what we found and decided with such allegations out there any further contact with Mr. Light or Mr. Fletcher was not in the best interest of the Corps. This attempt at bullying me and the Corps is just proof we were justified in our decision not to trust them. Please read and look at the articles I have posted at the end of this letter that we have based our decision on before you accept Mr. Lights version, he is by his own admission spreading in public. Mr. Light has enclosed a letter to his defense that he claims was written by his local Sheriff. I have no way of knowing if it is authentic or his relationship with this Sheriff. The PDC avails itself to all Constitutional Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and has never had to have anyone speak in our defense. We let our actions and our words stand for what we are. That is the true mark of leadership.

Subject: Re: Well Bill, I did not think you were a liar that spread divisionary BS behind other Patriots backs.. I guess we all learn who is who in this movement the hard way. I will be sure to show others this email so they know the leader of the PDC is just another liar that wants to make others think poorly of other good patriots just to advance their swollen EGO's. Sincerely Rick Light. Edwards County CO Texas State Militia.
Just so you are very aware that My sheriff went public with this statement in regards to people like you that spread lies and dissension just to try and belittle other Patriots like me working very hard for our freedom. I will give you 24 hours to recant your statement and to my your proper apologies and were your humility as a strength, if not then im going to release a public statement in regards to your slanderous lies about me so others know just who you are sir and how you operate.
Official statement From Sheriff Pamela Elliot in Regards to the Rumors and lies floating around out there within the Patriot Community concerning Rick Light and the Texas State Militia. Let this be the end of the slander once and for all. Please feel free to share.
Pamela Elliott: Rick, it is my understanding that someone or some group of individuals has been posting false statements in regards to you, the Militia and to included the Sheriff's Office of Edwards County.....well, since someone stated "I" said....."no comment" in regards to the Texas State Militia I must correct that and let this statement be my true statement and I will quote myself, "read the Constitution and let it be your guide before you are lead down an unpaved path....the Texas State Militia has always been held in high regards with me as they seek to educate, train and assist all persons in all endeavors that protect their rights as citizens of the United States and as a citizen of the great State of Texas". Mr. Light, I thank you for your steadfast honesty, integrity, commendable endeavors as a leader for Texas State Militia; a true friend. Let no man deter or interfere with your goals of life, liberty and freedom and those that do attempt will surely see their misguided ways. Sheriff Pamela Elliott.

To call a man a liar is a brave thing to do unless you are on a computer keyboard. It takes a man to do it face to face. I see you chose the keyboard. Let me make this clear to you. We work with the Constitutional Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in our areas. I have never had to have one of them stand up and vouch for me because my integrity has remained intact and never been questioned. That said I spent several hours with you on the phone with you in which you monopolized the conversation never allowing me to finish a sentence without butting in and cutting me off. Everything you said went back to the FBI and I should be working with them. They have their agents let them do their job. If they do the right thing and charge the President with the High Crimes and Misdemeanors and Treason he is guilty of then there will be no need for people like you and I. The problem is they are not doing their job that is why the Texas State Militia and Patriots Defense Corps and approximately 2000 other groups like ours exist.
The individual that contacted you about what I said was someone I booted out of the Patriot’s Defense Corps. His name is Andrew J. Fletcher so you know I know who is telling you this. Andrew was already on probation for trying to force his will upon the Patriot’s Defense Corps after being allowed to come back as a private instead of his former position as a state commander. I got a call from one of your friends who suggested I talk to you. Someone I don’t even know so I said ok. You then contacted me. I spent several hours on the phone with you listening to you tell me all that we are doing is wrong and that I should work with the FBI. Every time I started to speak you cut me off and referred to how I should be working with the FBI. I have a witness to the conversation as we were on speaker phone and you knew that. You also said that we should only have individual county units as militias don’t work with state commanders. I found this odd since you yourself are a state commander. Quiet frankly when I finally got off the phone with you I was convinced you are an FBI informant based on our conversation. I then googled you and found that there are several accusations against you on the internet that refer to you as an FBI informant and also in accusations that you have stolen money from one US Marine’s defense fund. These allegations are all out there in public and give me grounds to distrust you.
When Andrew J. Fletcher was discharged from our Corps it was because the day after my conversation with you he started insisting that our units start training with yours. I feel this was more than a coincidence. In conversation by a slip of the tongue Andrew mentioned being a police officer. He had not said anything about this in the past. I went to his Facebook page and went way back on his page and found a picture of him in a police uniform.
Pictured above is Andrew J. Fletcher wearing a police uniform.
I saved a copy of that picture for record. I also received a call from one of my leaders telling me Andrew told him he was in four other Militias which is against our policy. I spoke with our other leaders about my conversation with you and the situation with Andrew and we decided to dis-miss Andrew. He was already on probation for trying to impose his will on the Corps against a decision the leaders had made. He was discharged for two months and then allowed to comeback in on probation which was not up at his time of permanent discharge. He had left State Commander and came back a private.
I told my leaders to keep our discussion about you in house because there is no need to cause discord in the movement over yourself pride, arrogance and possible ties to the FBI. The only person now out of the Corps that knows of this is Andrew J. Fletcher who had the right to know why he was discharged. It will remain in house unless you try to slander or defame either myself or the Patriot’s Defense Corps. You do not want to turn this into a pissing match. You already have a blemish on your name not of my making. If you try to harm either reputation, mine or the Corps, I assure you we will give out much more than we receive. We have more important issues on the horizon right now than the hurt feelings of individuals. Our country needs us. I am not wasting time arguing with you. Don’t turn this into a pissing match as you will lose. And by all means the next time you chose to call me a liar, be a man and come do it to my face.
Yours Truly,
Bill Moss
Commander PDC
P.S.
It was my intent not to make this public but as I was preparing to send it I saw that you had sent this on Oct. 3, 20 13 and said you would release a slanderous statement about me and the Patriot’s Defense Corps in 24 hours of sending the letter. It is now Sunday the 6th so it appears that you have already done so. I therefore have no choice to release this letter tomorrow Monday Oct. 7, 2013 unless I receive a letter from you recanting any statements you have made. That is your only option. I will then post the letter on the internet and you are to post it as well anywhere you have defamed either me or the Corps.
I do not to wish discuss this any further as you have stated your piece and I have stated mine. The next move is up to you. It is now Noon you have until noon tomorrow to recant any statements you have made against the PDC and myself. Your word that you have made no such statements at this time is not enough. I require a letter recanting any statements you may have made

It is not the Patriot’s Defense Corps intent to defame or attack any Militia or their Leader. As stated in my reply there are far more important things on the horizon than our personal ego’s and feelings. Our country needs us. That said Mr. Light take notice. When you come after the Patriot’s Defense Corp make sure there are no skeletons in your closet.
