Volunteers and donated items are greatly needed to help the tornado victims in Georgia, which has been devastated by over thirty tornadoes in less than three weeks in two separate major storm impacts, the first on January 2, 2017 and the second on January 21 and 22d, 2017.

President Trump, to his credit, has reacted swiftly to fast-track federal disaster assistance and has now called Georgia’s Governor twice to coordinate (in contrast, Obama didn’t even bother to call the Governor, despite the first tornadoes hitting while Obama was still President).
However, the people of Georgia are still in desperate need of our assistance while the federal cavalry gets ramped up. We now have an Oath Keepers CPT team on the ground there in Ashburn, GA, led by two of our North Florida leaders, Dave Schiffman (communications expert) and Ivan Chiplinsky. They are in direct communication with the Turner County Sheriff’s Office incident commander, Lt. Reckley, and the Georgia State Defense Force, led by Lt. Colonel Yates and 1SGT White, and the word is they desperately need volunteer boots on the ground to help with disaster relief.
