The Minuteman Project is coming to San Diego borders this summer, and The Rick Roberts Show is on board with efforts to secure our border.
Friends of the Border Patrol, an organization formed last year to support the Border Patrol and it agents, hope to gather volunteers to begin patrolling over the summer. Patrols would take place south and east of San Diego.
Rick will be helping The Friends of the Border Patrol in starting the Minuteman California volunteer effort, and be looking for Rick to have a live broadcast from the border when patrols begin.
To volunteer and learn more about Minuteman California, go to friendsoftheborderpatrol.com and stay tuned to the Rick Roberts Show and KFMB.
We are THE STATION for the latest information on "Minuteman California!"
BTTT
LOL!
Must be.
I see your point. And more groups might get more sustained media attention.
I just didn't want there to be so many spin-off groups that the 4-state border watch organized by Chris Simcox in October wouldn't have enough volunteers to make a big impact on Washington. (And wimp that I am, I prefer not to hang out on the border in August!)
I really hope this thing keeps up the momentum. A lady friend of mine said she might want to volunteer after she retires and I might join her.
And the border watch groups can become into so much more than they are. They are a grass-roots political movement separate from the both the Democrats and Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if it evolves into a third party.
Never heard of that show being near Los Angeles.
I am very glad that the folks are getting the respect they deserve for their efforts and I believe this topic is only going to grow and fester until the illegal issue is handled to the satisfaction of the tax paying public.
>>the MMP wouldn't lose it's fizzle too soon,<<
The MMP stated last December, went from 100 to 1000 in 3 months. 1000 to 10,000 in 1 more month when people realized that it wasn't going to be a shooting match and that it wasn't a nutcase outfit. I wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers go to 100,000 and actually close the broders from coast TO coast.
The amazing part in my mind is that the majority of volunteers are what most people consider "old folks". After all it doesn't require much physical ability to hold a pair of binoculars or dial a phone, does it?
This is Neighborhood Watch Program that nobody could have forecast!
Ready, and looking forward to it!
