He is also secretary for the California Republican Assembly, attends Taxpayers, and supports the State of Jefferson movement. As head of the Republican Central Committee Forestry Committee, Cecil wants our National Forest thinned before it burns in a wild fire.
Sergeant At Arms, Jeff Mikkelsen
A new member to the El Dorado Republican Central Committee, Jeff has been actively pursuing the pro-liberty movement for many years, and is a strong supporter of the Jefferson movement. He believes our government has become so controlling at all levels, and our education so inverted, that our individual sovereignty has been stripped to only be a distant memory. Today, we have become a “hive collective” where individual rights are dismissed for the “good of the masses” leaving us ripe for a totalitarian State. Jeff believes it is everyone’s duty to understand the times, get out of their comfort zone, and join the fight to restore our Republic.
