Sorry, I’m still clumsy in grasping how to answer all these posts.
I answered all questions about the funds. The IRS never had a problem with any bookkeeping practices because the BOD made sure accounting was proper and above reproach. Geez after all I was CHALLENGING BUSH AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! You don’t think I made sure we were absolutely as perfect as we could be in accounting?
All funds raised for the fence were used to build the fence. The goal was to force the feds to do it - remember Bush signing the secure fence Act here in Az. I worked hard lobbying in DC to make that a reality, we forced their hand, missing accomplished. Funding for the fence dried up but we have about a half mile section that is completed from phase one of the projected plan. 150 feet in front of our fence is a vehicle barrier and a 16 foot tall steel fence erected by the feds.
All the malicious and defamatory attacks emanate from one maniacal individual who after not succeeding in a coup attempt over MCDC has been obsessed with creating what many on this post have brought up - again and again. I made my statement of fact. A group of individuals then attempted to destroy a great organization after they disagreed with the direction the organization was taking off the border.
Instead of walking away and creating their own org in their image, they chose to do everything possible to tarnish the reputation of EVERYONE involved and all they got for their trouble was scorn and shame.
I sleep well at night knowing that MCDC was a great moment in history and continues to stand as the standard bearer for the Tea Party activist movement.
I have 3 kids, a wife and a campaign to run so pardon me if I do not hang out here as often as some would like. I usually share thoughts on Facebook, linked to my blog and I twitter. I will definitely make it a point to post here more often.
I announced back in April and have been grassroots campaigning all over the state non stop, we have collected the required signatures for the ballot and will triple that number by March as this campaign heats up.
It means something to me to challenge the establishment. Don’t see anyone else stepping up to the plate, so it’s me taking the lead again. I would not be wasting my time or yours if I was not committed to this endeavor to serve the people. Seems I’ve doing that for 8 years already, might as well take one more big swing at the Leviathan and hope others are there with me. They are and I can win this seat.
Folks need to get past this BS and get going with supporting people who actually get things done.
Jim Campbell wasn't happy.
Minuteman donor demands refund
"..An Arizona man who donated $100,000 to help the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps build a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border wants his money back.
James Campbell, a retired home builder who took out a $120,000 loan on his house to help build one mile of "Israel-style" fencing on private border land, is suing MCDC and its president, Chris Simcox, for fraud and breach of contract -- saying there has been no work on the double-security fence he was promised. .."
