Liberty Groups Set Anti-TSA Rally at Sheriffs Meeting Sunday in Daytona

Libertarian-leaning groups want to deputize Florida sheriffs in a fight against the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.

The groups will rally on Sunday outside the Florida Sheriffs Association convention in Daytona Beach.

In a July 4 letter to all 67 of Florida's sheriffs, Florida Libertarian Party Chairman Adrian Wyllie wrote, "We turn to you as our last line of defense against a federal government that is usurping authority and ignoring the rule of law.If you have TSA agents within your county that are violating the law, then you must act."

The letter called on sheriffs to arrest TSA employees who violate the law.

Sunday's rally -- billed as an informational gathering, not a protest -- is being organized by the Libertarian Party of Florida, the Campaign for Liberty, the Florida Tenth Amendment Center, Oath Keepers, the Constitution Party of Florida, Wake Up 1776, the Save America Foundation, We Are Change, Young Americans for Liberty, the Florida Republican Liberty Caucus, and several tea party and 9/12 organizations. ?

Retired Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack will speak at the rally, which will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. outside the Hilton Oceanfront Resort, 100 N. Atlantic Ave.
