But apparently, every penny collected for the fence has gone into an escrow account for that purpose.
I've inferred based on what Simcox has said and done (or NOT done).
The MMDC website says
May 27, 2006 - Successful groundbreaking was held in Arizona on Memorial Day weekend. First 2.5 miles of 10 miles of Border Fence erected. Continue fence fundraising through direct mail, email, national radio affiliates and national speaking tours.
May 27 to June 30 – Finished the first 2.5 mi. section of fence, applied for permission on next 7.5 mi., repaired vandalized fence, ordered steel, finalized fence design/civil engineering specifications, retained 2 local Arizona contractors who hire legally, started vetting volunteers for work crews, completed volunteer delivery of donated construction truck, continue next 7.5 mi., acquire vehicle barrier steel, install vehicle barrier, test/install fence camera technology, plan and implement 24x7 fence security.
June 27 - Second site layout to be finished.
July 6-15 – Security Fence at second location starts.
Simcox is now saying that only the first 2.5 miles has been completed, and the vehicle barriers & cameras that should've been installed by now haven't been, and nothing else will be done until fall.
In other words, they are already a month behind their own schedule, and not planning to do anything else for several months.
He also states that some of the money collected, supposedly for the fence, is being spent on administrative and travel expenses and on building the infrastructure for a third political party - rather than "into an escrow account for that [building the fence] purpose."
Contradictions abound.
Your protestations of innocence throughout this thread, that you "were just asking questions" are now revealed for exactly what we knew they were when they were uttered: Phony.
I've been asking questions, but so far the answers I've gotten don't add up.
Besides, what's this "protestations of innocence" thing? Is there something innately evil about questioning whether or not someone is doing what they promised to do?
Do you really think FReepers are THAT stupid?
I think maybe you do.
You run in a pack. One of you plays the innocent "I'm just acting in good faith seeking answers" game, while your allies throw every bit of sludge they can dredge up from anti-American Leftwing sources and/or antifreepers or ignorant idiots, and throw it at people.
Then when detailed answers are provided to "little 'ol you", you don't miss a step. You just keep right on attacking.
The motives of your crowd are more than clear to everyone. In your heart, you want to destroy Chris Simcox. Period. He dared to take on a role as one of the leading critics of this Administration's failed border policy, and for that he must be destroyed.
Bottom line? You're aiding and abetting the MeCHa/SPLC/ACLU thugs who hate America and the Minutemen.
I wish you and Karl Rove lotsa luck with that La Raza thing...
