Eye-witness account of the first day of registration.
Spiff, there's another article posted that says only 120 people registered today. How does that square with your experience?
Thank you for the report.
Hopefully I can use my HAM license. I'm signed up to help, but am very green. Have never actually had an opportunity. I will send you a private message also. Stay cool, don't taunt them 'cuz they're just looking for something to act on and then blame you/us. Stay away from them and smile. They want attention, don't give it to them, OK? Nothing irks an agitator more than being ignored. Give them a salute and don't even give them the time of day.
btttt
MMP volunteers are the mobile mass prodction type sensors on the border. Good Luck.
Your actually doing something to help which is more than most can say including myself. Stay safe, stay calm, and thank you all.
Great report! Sounds like 'the other side' is the problem everyone was so worried about.

Members of the Arizona Rangers stand outside a building in Tombstone, Ariz., Friday, April 1, 2005, to help the town marshals with crowd control during registration for the Minuteman Project. At least 100 people had registered by Friday afternoon for the monthlong civilian volunteer operation to patrol the border for illegal immigrants and smugglers and report them to federal authorities, a lead organizer said.

ROTFL... funny! Viva la migra!
Well done, Mr. Spiff; I've been following some of the previous border threads, hoping that someone would be able to provide us with some front-line FReeper intel!
Apparently they will be using HAM radio, so if any of you have a license and can tune them in, that would be a great way to keep us posted, getting around any potential media "filters".
This report is pretty much consistant with what I expected - the circus atmosphere and cluster-fuddle logistical challenges. I'm glad that some Reps are with you, as that might give the Enforcers pause before overly hassling or abusing MMP participants, as I suspect some might want to.
Please keep the intel flow up as best you can, and if at all possible try to get some pictures of some of the loonie tune lefties - they can be rather entertaining!
Remember; this may be a wonderful opportunity for some "mission outreach" - both spiritual and ideological.
A lot of these kids really arent that stupid - they've probably just never been allowed contact with common sense or righteousness, and have been crammed full of socialist baloney from birth.
Please - try to show a little compassion & kindness, be open, and willing to engage in intelligent dialouge - not just infantile name-calling.
Remember "WWJD"?
It's been my experience that it often comes as a huge surprise to these folks when a dreaded "conservative" comes accross to them as a thinking, feeling, rational human being instead of what their stereotypes cause them to expect.
If you can get one or two of them aside from their cluster, invite them over for coffee, and show them that we're sorta human too, it just might go a long way towards making America a better place to be for all of us.
At least a little corner someplace.
UJ's $0.02, FWIW. Amen.
BTW - Caution all; we have at least one Troll on board this thread already - surely more to follow.
May God bless & protect all of our Minutemen (and women) along our Southern border!
bump!
