Minuteman Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist was confronted by three associates who had been his closest allies when he arrived at his group's headquarters in Lake Forest in late January.

"Jim," said Marvin Stewart, "the board has terminated you as president."

Gilchrist recalled that it felt like his heart sank to his stomach, prompting him to instinctively yell, "You're all fired."

"No, Jim, you are fired," Stewart said.

Well,that does it.There's chaos over at Minuteman Headquarters so all the illegals get to stay and anyone who wishes to can cross our southern border any time,and for any reason,they wish.

[Ladycalif]

Actually, MMP has not had anyone on the border in years.

The LAT is just slobbering all over themselves with this one. He appears to be the "Scooter Libby" of the anti-illegal citizenry. He embarrassed the Federal Government by showing the country what they would NOT DO. Thier job.

These boys might learn a lesson from Bass Masters. In the end only one man owned the business and he sold it. All of the dues paying members were not voting members and had no right to assume they had a vote.
It was a good business plan that worked well. Gilchrist may have the only vote that counts.

In early February, papers were filed with the state of Delaware showing that Stewart was the organization's new president and Courtney was the new treasurer.

An official with the Delaware secretary of state's office said no one but Gilchrist could legally make those changes.

seems you are on the money

Someone needs to remind the Minutemen that "a house divided cannot stand" and this is exactly what the open-borders Lefties (and Beltway/Rockefeller Republicans) want.

[Clock King]

Wouldn't be surprised if Leftist government agents infiltrated the "board". I mean it. The Power That Be, Left and Right both WANT illegal immigration, and the MinuteMen embarrassed them and their plans for the US. For a while at least...

[Taichi]

This plays right into lefty hands. No matter the outcome they will point at this and say "see it's corrupted."

[Buddy B]

This is about the "Minuteman Project" not the "Minuteman Civil Defense Corps".

Do not confuse the two...organizations.

[Ladycalif]

I don't. I am a member of both.

You have identified the problem, remember the problems in the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, last year? It's not a coincidence that both organizatons had internal battles.

[bkepley]

I think they're a bunch of guys with way too much time on their hands.

AKA, divide and conquer

[janetgreen]

Lady, I find this SO hard to believe.

[Ladycalif]

Jim Glichrist, is an honest, trusting man with unfortunately, no BS detector.

I hope he comes out on top

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ping.

[janetgreen]

I hope he comes out on top

I do too, I have faith in him.

You need to get Brit to wear his gun on his hip. The way he is wearing it in the above photo could jeopardize important equipment.
