Minutemen skeptical of ties with Keyes project (Funding Questions)
The Washington Times ^ | 7-20-06 | Jerry Seper

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps calls itself a "project of the Declaration Alliance," although few MCDC volunteers know what the alliance does or why Minuteman donations are routed through the charity founded and headed by conservative activist Alan Keyes.

Several Minuteman leaders and members questioned the wisdom of ceding control over fundraising to the Herndon-based Declaration Alliance, part of an intricate weave of conservative organizations founded and chaired by Mr. Keyes or tied to longtime Keyes associates working with MCDC.

MCDC President Chris Simcox told The Washington Times that the alliance offers "an experienced organization for mass mailings, advertising and public relations" and the ability to conduct a "fully accredited and independent audit" of MCDC finances.

Mr. Simcox said he "checked these people out very carefully before agreeing to work with them" and that he made the "correct decision" in hiring "clean professional consultants, accountants and media professionals."

During the interview, he said, "Not one cent of MCDC money has been spent on alliance projects." The statement, released on the MCDC Web page, www.minutemanhq.com/hq/, does not mention Declaration Alliance or Mr. Keyes. ...."

"..Diener Consultants first contacted the Minuteman organization in early 2005, said Ms. Hair, the MCDC spokeswoman who also was a top adviser to Mr. Keyes in his presidential and senatorial races. She said she called Mr. Simcox after the Minuteman group was created to ask whether he had a media plan. After being told no, she said, she met with Mr. Simcox and Minuteman co-founder James Gilchrist in Washington and signed an agreement...."

Baker had issues, sure. I would not slam him for his religion. Behavior, sure. Religion, not. That's between him and his Maker.

EV you have this unfortunate tendency to hint about other FReepers drinking habits when you start losing an argument. Now I will admit that I like a beer or 3 but you are my best defense against over imbibing. The first post you make that makes sense to me means that I am drunk and to quit.

Hey Jim Jones was a Christian too and had a group of followers that would believe anything he told them, no questions asked. How about him?

Do you get the idea that a couple of people are trying to turn the thread into a flame war so that maybe it will get pulled, but at the least people won't want to wade through all the crap to see the evidence of deceptive activities that has already been uncovered on this thread?

Yep. But they keep digging their hole deeper. If I were signing their paycheck, I'd want my money back.

If you wanted to play "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" with this little FR open borders cabal, you'd be amazed how quickly you'd land in some very interesting places.

Of course, if they were actually working against Simcox, they'd probably get a raise.

Try a few hours in a C130 on lox and still smelling them.

All I can say is, I hope that the professional accountant Keyes provided for the MCDC does a better job for the MCDC than he did for Keyes' presidential campaign.
