...The organizers of the Minuteman Project say that a branch could be coming to a border area near you, including Texas. However, the anemic turnout for the first deployment suggests that the movement might soon come to a blessed standstill.

Amen.

Garbage. THat anemic turnout has proven itself to be a resounding success. You might want to tell the folks in Yuma that the movement isn't going anywhere because they are planning a similar event.

However, the anemic turnout for the first deployment suggests that the movement might soon come to a blessed standstill.

You can wish it is true all you want, but I was there and there was no anemic turnout. As has been stated on FR before, the MMP never expected all 1,000 volunteers to show up on the first day. Over the length of the entire month there will be a total of 1,000 or more volunteers taking part in the project. It is nowhere close to coming to a standstill, but is proving to be successful (I know, you're deeply saddened over this) and will spawn a number of similar Minuteman Projects all along the border.

Funny how you can look at the entire article which mentions the attention that the project is bringing to the border and all you can focus on is some lie about the "anemic" turnout. Do you hold Free Republic to the same standard? Have you attacked Free Republic and its efforts for the anemic turnout at March for Justice II and the utter lack of media coverage or even updates on FR? No, I didn't think so. Nor should Free Republic be attacked as any effort, no matter how small, to secure the country, defend our freedoms, etc. should be given the credit it deserves.
