I was at a Minuteman Project meeting today and it was announced that the effort WILL NOT end on April 30th due its overwhelming success and calls from the community asking for them to keep it going. Simcox and Gilchrist are going to be travelling to Washington D.C. to bring Congress information about the Minuteman Project's success and the border problems in general. They will meet with several congressmen and will then testify before the Immigration Reform Caucus.
Today the Minuteman Project Air Force was out in numbers. There were planes buzzing the border all day going as far East as parts of New Mexico. I spent a couple of hours on the Naco line, got my picture taken with Jim Gilchrist with me pointing at the gaping hole in the weak barbed wire fence there (will post later).
Even after a fitful night trying to sleep in a tent on the San Pedro River (illegal alien alley) on my son's first Boy Scout campout, I'm going to be doing the 10PM-6AM shift tonight in the Huachuca Mountains. This will be my first night shift. I'll be joined by FReepers AZHSer, her husband, and InTheArena. I wish I had some thermal/night vision stuff, or a parabolic microphone. I'd be able to see or hear the criminal invaders long before they got near me.
I'll provide a report tomorrow.
Great report - thanks Spiff.

The ACLU.......again. Looking at the company they keep best describes this abomination of an organization.
It's an outrage that US law, passed during the Watergate era, allows the ACLU to collect from taxpayers attorney's fees for makework----Christian-hatng lawsuits it itself launches.
That means "values voters" have been footing the bill for the ACLU's launching a juggernaut to remove Ten Commandments images, Christmas creches and Christmas carols, taking God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, and because they claim they have a civil right not to see the Ten Commandments, a civil right not to hear the word “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, not to see a creche of the Baby Jesus, not to hear Christmas carols. The ACLU has collected a huge amount of our tax dollars in this left-handed fundraiser for the ACLU.
FReepers can silence the ACLU with a bit of activism. We need to insist our Congressmen repeal this abusive law that allows the ACLU to get rich on harassing Christian America. Congress must repeal laws enabling the ACLU's Christian-hating activities. Cut off the ACLU's funds and watch them disappear. Here's what we can do.
Under the aegis of the ACLU's Foundation---worth some $135 million---any number of financial travesties can be hidden. The IRS should determine whether the ACLU is properly accounting for all its tax-funded activities, whether it is inflating legal costs, and whether it is using tax dollars for the purposes stated. We need to know whether the ACLU is engaged in Enron-style accounting and spending practices.
If the federal governent won't protect the borders of our own country, then private citizens will have to do it for them. We have no choice in the matter.
The Americans who have risen up against the illegal invasion are not "vigilantes" or "racists" or "the enemy." They are the PATRIOTS, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. (sound familiar?)
Great report, unlike Norwood Dingell.
Interesting.

What always cracks me up is in any of the big "disaster movies" where the US gets devastated...Mexico inevitably closes the border so we can't go south. :)
My wie and I were on the border this last weekend. We attended the rally and helped man the Naco line. Great experience.
Jim Gilchrist was most impressive at the rally answering reporters and others questions and posing for pictures for all comers. We then we marched along in front of the Border Patrol station chanting, "More Border Patrol".
Along the Naco Line the minutemen were mostly on the high ground scanning the south side of the border. Comm was well organized: a call the Border Patrol brought action right away. I didn't see any of "them" getting across although some did approach the 4-strand barbed wire fence that serves as the border along that stretch.
The ACLU (refered to as "yellow-bellies" for the yellow shirts they wore) were inter spaced along the line although they didn't seem to be doing much except playing frisbee all weekend. I had a camera at the ready in case that frisbee catch a good south gust of wind but luck they remained Americans, so-to-speak.
Looking across the border you could see trails worn smooth from the endless footfalls of the millions who have crossed, along the way rags were tied to bushes and trees lead the way along trails to the holes cut into the barbed wire fences. We eyeballed the trains that passed occasionally on a well used track and trucks on a road in the distance as well as the the many dirt road crisscrossing the Mexican desert.
Side note: We also drove along the border near the town of Naco where the Army Engineers were erecting a tall solid metal fence. We applause them for their service but not the government that supplied the materials they had to work with. The fence was a mishmash of materials, mostly portable runway panels reminiscence of WWII fame. All material used and worn. Every few yards a new material salved from some government scrap yard or other.
Good stuff!
Resident crank alert!
Looked like a thread with some interesting stuff. Then CBG infested it, which makes it annoyingly adversarial in tone. Not fun.
