Schaeffer Cox

Francis August Schaeffer Cox (born February 11, 1984), known as Schaeffer Cox, is an American political activist, convicted felon, and founder of an organization called the Alaska Peacemakers Militia.

Francis August Schaeffer Cox was born on February 11, 1984 to Gary and Jennifer Cox. Around the year 2000, Cox's family moved to Alaska. He received a high school diploma in May 2003 through a correspondence program. He then briefly studied business at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, before dropping out to start his own small construction company.

In 2008, Cox ran for the Alaska House of Representatives from House District 7.

Cox was a supporter of Sarah Palin, but harshly criticized her support for Real ID in 2008, saying "If Sarah Palin loses who she is, then I won't support her".

Cox was a delegate from Alaska to a gathering called the Continental Congress 2009. He was also an organizing member of the Fairbanks-based Second Amendment Task Force. At a 2009 gathering of the group, Cox drafted a declaration that the United States Government must be abolished if it further restricts gun rights. The declaration was signed by many, including United States Representative Don Young. Cox has also reportedly identified himself as a member of the Sovereign citizen movement.

Cox is said to be a close friend of Alaska politician Joe Miller, although Cox has said that he did not support Miller in Miller's unsuccessful bid for the United States Senate in 2010. Cox stated, "[Miller's] going to try to run things in a more conservative way, but he's still trying to run things -- so he has the same fundamental problem of all the other politicians". After Cox was arrested, Miller released a statement saying "Mr. Miller has never had any connection to any of Mr. Cox's militia organizations, and in no way condones any lawless behavior."

In March 2010, Cox was arrested by state authorities in Alaska for failing to disclose a concealed weapon. It was reported that he assaulted his wife and pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment, but his wife joined him to publicly deny the claims, and to explain the allegations completely as lies to defame Cox.
