FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MINUTEMAN PROJECT, Inc., CHANGES LEADERSHIP

FEBRUARY 24, 2007

"The MINUTEMAN PROJECT, Inc.," (MMP) was a concept created to defend the sovereignty of the United States of America. The organization created sought to empower American citizens in the exercise of their constitutional rights to demand redress of grievances from the government's failure to enforce United States Immigration law.

While "The MINUTEMAN PROJECT, Inc.," recognizes the efforts and contributions made by Mr. Jim Gilchrist at the inception of the organization, the MMP Board of Directors has determined that a change of leadership based on internal issues was necessary.

MMP has led the fight in this culture war being waged on the American middle-class, and in order to continue its commitment to every American citizen, today announced it will immediately implement a reorganization of internal administrative, operational, membership, and accounting policies.

MMP today asks its membership for their continued support throughout this reorganization and pledges to make the MMP a stronger, more viable, efficient and politically effective mechanism as we move forward to press for the United States Government to enforce immigration law, secure America's borders, and safe-guard American citizens from illegal aliens criminal, health, gang-related and economic threats.

Vibrant, ethical and responsive leadership is pledged to our members by current MMP President Mr. Marvin Stewart, and MMP Treasurer Ms. Deborah Courtney. "I stand committed to re-focusing the direction of the MINUTEMAN PROJECT to the goals established when this great movement first came on the scene" Mr. Stewart stated. "While others may seek to profit from an effort to secure America's borders, true patriots will draw a line in the sand whether it is against the proponents of illegal aliens, or internal foes bent on avarice and greed" Mr. Stewart concluded.

"I have pledged my time, my effort and my personal resources, to maintain what I truly believe is the only organization that can swing the ship of state back on course" Ms Courtney said. "Although we face a difficult process in the reorganization of the MMP, it is based on external forces that cannot go unchallenged" Ms Courtney stated.

I always liked Gilchrist, had him on my show, but his antics were starting to hurt this project. When the people involved become more important than the message/goal, those people need to be replaced.

Quote: One of the really fortunate aspects of the far right in America is that it is constitutionally predisposed to fracturing: the combination of latent paranoid tendencies, controlling personalities and gigantic egos makes it nearly certain that its various components can never form an effective, long-term coalition.

Thanks, AM!
The "Front Page" sidebar is good, too!
Although I still think that "Breaking News" is BETTER. :o)

You KNOW that Free Republic is always first with breaking news, right?
Besides, I understand that there may be some confusion over exactly WHO is updating that website at present.

Oh thank GOD!!! For a second I thought you said MARTHA Stewart.

In some ways, she'd be a good one though. If I were coming from Mexico, I'd run back a lot faster if I thought all Americans were like Martha Stewart.

Spirit,

You were on the Caravan with Jim. Don't you remember hearing about Deborah Courtney trying to sabotage everything? Marvin is her puppet. The only thing of any value that MMP owns is the name Jim Gilchrist. Without Jim, they have nothing!

Having met him several times, it is hard for me to believe that Marvin Stewart is ANYONE's "puppet."
And, unlike Jim Gilchrist, Marvin Stewart has not broken his ties with the GOP, however imperfect an organization they may be.
From his bio, posted above:
"...Marvin is a duly elected member of the County Central Committee Republican Party as a representative of the 54th Assembly District."
