Don't Bury The Lead!
New Board Members Announced.
Don’t Bury The Lead!
On Monday we provided our subscribers with a fairly lengthy update from Feds For Freedom’s Board of Directors. If you were willing to read for about 20 minutes straight, you discovered that we have a few new board members. You had to read another 25 minutes to finish the article.
I suppose that should have gone right up front…
So, if you suffer from ADHD or left the comment “TLDR” in Monday’s Substack… Here is the Reader’s Digest Version.
Board Member Announcements
I would like to introduce you to our new board members.
Cameron Hamilton will be taking on the role of Vice President of F4F.
Cameron has been a member and supporter of F4F since its inception. He just ended his bid for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District in a hotly contested primary race. Virginia’s loss was our gain when he agreed to join our board of directors in an executive role.
Cameron was in the U.S. Navy for 10 years as a Naval Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) and Special Operations Combat Medic/Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman with four deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Subsequent to his exemplary service, he joined U.S. Department of State (DOS), Directorate of Operational Medicine as a Supervisory Emergency Management Specialist. He served as a rapidly deployable protective medical resource directly supporting Diplomatic Security Service crisis response teams as well as other U.S. Governmental elements. Prior to his bid for Congress, he joined Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the Director of the Emergency Medical Services Division. You can see his full bio here.
Cameron will help shape the future direction of F4F, serving as a spokesperson and advocate. He will also be taking on the herculean task of donor engagement and outreach.
Carolyn Rocco will be taking on the role of Secretary of F4F.
Carolyn is a two-time Office of Special Investigations (OSI) commander and was an Air Force ROTC instructor in the Pacific Northwest when the DoD vaccine mandate was implemented. She was unable to immediately return to OSI after she declined the Covid-19 shot. Carolyn was denied a medical and religious exemption, even after showing a high level of Covid antibodies post natural infection. In August 2022, Ohio Judge McFarland issued a preliminary injunction for Air and Space Force members, which protected her from being removed from service. She served as a ROTC instructor in the PNW during the time of the Covid vaccine mandate, and while her instructor assignment was a two-year tour, Carolyn was forced to remain in place for a third year. After the DoD rescinded its mandate in Jan 2023, Carolyn was subsequently able to promote to Lieutenant Colonel and later moved, in June 2023, to Virginia for her next OSI tour. Carolyn served 20 years of active military service in November 2023 and while she is scheduled to retire on July 1, 2025, she would be honored to stay in uniform, if requested by a new administration. You can read her full bio here.
One of the key deficiencies F4F identified was our ability to help active duty military members. UCMJ has a whole different set of complications and even though we have many active duty supporters, it was often difficult to get them the expert assistance they needed. Carolyn will help us support existing and new active duty F4F members, while taking on an equally difficult task: networking with sister organizations to ensure we have complimentary and coordinated support to as many people as possible. Her ties with the Declaration of Military Accountability (DMA) signatories and Children’s Health Defense, Military Chapter will reinforce the overlapping goals of coordinated support to the military.
Kevin Biro will be taking on a board member role.
Kevin Biro is a 20-yr Intelligence Community professional, having served in the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician and as an Industrial Contractor supporting various Intelligence Community elements. As a devout Christian and former ministry director, Kevin has spent the past year navigating constitutionally protected religious free speech and practice in the intelligence workspace regarding the transgender and gender identity-affirming policies.
Kevin will be taking on a role supporting financial management of the organization’s charitable donations and direct our counter-DEI litigation goals.
Marcus Thornton will continue in his role as President, Melissa Bruckner will continue in her role as Treasurer, and Ron Severson will continue to serve as a board member. I am taking on a volunteer duties supporting the board leading our communication and operations team. I will also continue to lead a small, dedicated research team focused on support to our Operation Warp Speed (OWS) FOIA currently being litigated. Brian is leaving the board and will continue to provide volunteer support, while he takes a well-deserved break.
Volunteers…
Expect another post in the next week highlighting the hard work being done by our all-volunteer staff. We will also be making a call for new volunteers to complete some much needed duties.
