The Minutemen are showing us not only how to seal our borders and protect our national security, they are demonstrating how we, the people, can take back our country from the political establishment.

Which fence would you rather cross if you were sneaking past the Border patrol?

Lets make our Ports of Entry the choice for everyone coming to America.

Some questions and ideas for you to think about.
What do you think would happen if a popular football or other sports star was to start off the project by donating 5 thousand or 5 million dollars to build fences on private property that adjoins the border?

Then a few more sport stars each throw in a couple of thousand or million (grin) of their own money while asking all "True Americans" to send just one hours wages to the FENCE FUND?

Do you think that the politicians would be able to stop this from growing out of control and the voters demanding that the Feds "fence our border lands"?

Do you think the politicians would listen or ignore a million calls a day to their offices?

Never underestimate what the American people can do when they decide they want to do it.

While I'm at it, we could start a "Name and Shame List" of companies that hire illegals. Name the banks that loan money to a tax number when the illegal doesn't have a phony Social Security number. Name the mortgage companies that favor home loans to illegals, using our money for their downpayment.

If you have ideas or questions, throw them in the pot here. I'm sure there's FReeper who can answer most of the questions or critique your ideas.

Do you have any ideas on how to get this started?

We need to keep the fire burning while the media is watching and reporting.

A succinct positive message to dispel MSM stereotypes. Most excellent!

Why couldn't the private individuals who own property along the border build the good high fences on their own land that the Isralis use? I would be glad to contribute to a Border Defense Fund that landowners could apply to for funding for this project. Land owners could link one fence to another all along the border. The government, that has no will to stop the invasion, would have no reason to interfere. In case the NYT has forgotten, we ARE the government..."of the people, by the people and for the people"...you know.

HOw does one join the Minutemen? They seem to be the only ones actually doing something about a problem. Clearly Bush and Our Governor Arnold (recently again back-flipped) on pension issues have done nothing and I was speaking with a friend over the weekend and the Minutemen seem to be the only organization that identified a problem, implemented a solution, it is working and, it did not require tax dollars.

For starters, if we're talking baseball players... why would they want to pay for a fence that will cut them off from their families?

The 'fence fund' sounds like a great idea. I wonder what the pitfalls are regarding the property on which to place the fence? I guess there are many private citizen land owners there willing to help based on the Minuteman reports.

What would be needed is an honest way to set up that fund with a well respected financial institution willing to put their name on a project like this.

You can't put up fences to stop the flow. It's inevitable.
