Recently, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, Inc. (MCDC), and our fiduciary accountability has been called into question in reports in the Washington Times newspaper. Its editors continue to misrepresent the facts and have purposely based their reports and editorials on information that is inaccurate.
They continue in their attempt to hold us to a different and improperly applied fiduciary standard than any other non-profit in the country. Jerry Seper and Wes Pruden seem not to understand the first, most basic matters of non-profit accounting and regulatory obligation. Further, Pruden absurdly describes Seper’s reporting as “careful, rigorous” when Seper has not spoken to at least two of his three “sources” on this matter in over a year, and he and his editors deliberately failed to disclose in their innuendos regarding “where our money is spent,” that tens of thousands of dollars was spent on full-page issues advocacy advertising in the Washington Times itself.
A year ago, people called us racists and vigilantes. We have overcome those falsehoods with an organizational performance of diligence, responsibility and excellent stewardship of the resources entrusted to us by our supporters and volunteers. Our careful spending and high standards in the field, combined with the generosity and faithfulness of our citizen patriot supporters, have allowed us to grow rapidly and effectively, consistent with our mission. This has been accomplished, in part, by aggressive advertising and outreach to people across the country, putting a spotlight on the state of lawlessness at our wide-open borders which our government continues to tolerate......."[snip]
".... The leadership of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and its officers continue to have full faith and confidence in American Caging, Inc., who acts as our comptroller, and in our other accountability and legal professionals..........."

ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MARCH! (LADY EXPOSER) -- Anonymous, 16:34:30 04/05/06 Wed
ALERT: Are you tired of seeing illegal aliens and their supporters marching in
the streets, demanding American citizenship rights for lawbreakers?
Then you're lucky you live in Georgia -- because Chris Simcox, co-founder of the
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, is going to be speaking at a patriotic rally --
AND at a special dinner -- on Thursday, April 6th.
Chris Simcox will be speaking at 12:30pm at a press conference in the Georgia
Capitol in Atlanta along with other political leaders, legislators and
candidates. The topics will include what needs to be done to secure our borders,
what Governor Perdue needs to do with regards to immigration in Georgia, and
especially with regards to his need to act on Senate Bill 529.
Then on Thursday evening at 6:00pm, Simcox will be the keynote speaker at the
Constitution Party of Georgia's State Leadership Conference, being held in
Buford at Covenant Presbyterian Church. Simcox will address the current state of
our nation's security at our borders and how the leadership of the major
national political parties has exacerbated the negative impact of illegal
immigration on Georgia's communities. Everyone is welcome to come and hear
Simcox discuss what must be done to secure our borders, and see footage of the
work of the Minutemen and the impact of our nation's current open borders
policies.
CP State Chairman Ricardo Davis noted, "Georgia owes a debt of gratitude to
Simcox and the Minuteman Volunteers. In the spirit of the Minutemen of the
Founding era they have not resigned themselves to complaining about the current
state of affairs. By their actions the Minutemen shame every elected official
who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution but thus far has refused to fulfill
their obligation to protect the nation against foreign invasion. In light of the
fact that Georgia is the second most popular transit point for illegal aliens
passing through our southern border, Simcox's message is relevant for Georgia
today."
TAKE ACTION: You WILL NOT want to miss either of these events! As you know, the
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is the PREMIER citizen's group working to defend
our nation's borders against foreign invasion. Come and hear Chris Simcox's
powerful message:
12:30pm - The press conference will be held in the Georgia
Capitol in Atlanta, at the Washington Street entrance. Chris
Simcox and others will be addressing what needs to be done
in Georgia on the immigration issue. DON'T BE LATE!
6:00pm - The 2006 CP Leadership Training Conference will be
held in Buford at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 1420 Rock
Springs Rd (less than 1 mile from I-85 & Ga. Hwy. 20). To
hear Simcox's powerful presentation, and to take advantage
of this conference's practical training for grassroots
activists at every level of experience, register online at
http://www.gaconstitutionparty.org/ or call 770-720-3185.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS DINNER.
See you there!
Sincerely,
William Greene, President

By the way that Church where that Const party leadership held their leadership meeting should be checked out. In my experience certain parts of that baranch of the Presbytarian Church are very friendly with the very kooky League of the South movement
Um... Simcox did sound like a vigilante at one time, and some of the other groups split with him because of a 'manifesto' he put out that the LA Times picked up in March, 2003. Here are some tidbits:
"CHD members held an emergency meeting and have decided to fill in for the government and help our friends, neighbors and countrymen, again. Yesterday, I spoke with a Mexican news agency and issued a warning that all illegal entrants attempting to breach our border during a time of war in which National Security is at a critical level would be ignorant and unwise. I stated that all illegal entries would be treated as enemies of the state and will be detained and held in contempt of invading the United States of America."
"CHD volunteers will now patrol the border with over 100 fully armed Citizens who consider themselves members of the unorganized state militia; we have the legal right and moral obligation as per our Arizona State Constitution and Federal Constitution and our respect for American citizens."
"A message to the world: Do not attempt to cross the border illegally; you will be considered an enemy of the state; if aggressors attempt to forcefully enter our country they will be repelled with force if necessary!"
Thankfully, he has become more "moderate", but surely you can see to what the President might have referring.
From a email in March $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It is CRITICAL that you ACT TODAY! If we can FLOOD the offices of these Senators with TENS OF THOUSANDS of faxes, demanding that they REJECT any "guest worker" amnesty bill, we CAN stop Specter's and Kennedy's dangerous bill dead in its tracks. But we need YOUR help. Send your Blast Faxes to EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Judiciary Committee Senators -- plus BOTH of your own Senators -- AT ONCE for just $14, RIGHT NOW:
https://secure.responseenterprises.com/amnesty2/?a=7
NOTE: We ARE having an effect on this issue up on Capitol Hill. We were able to get an amnesty-free bill through the U.S. House -- and we're so effective, far-left groups like People For the American Way are targeting us on this very issue (we're in good company -- they put us in with Phyllis Schlafly, Michelle Malkin, Paul Weyrich, Gary Bauer and the Minutemen). Now is NOT the time to pull back -- we CAN win this important issue!
As always, you can also send a FREE message to your Senators and Congressman, telling them to REJECT this amnesty bill, and enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books. Just go to http://capwiz.com/sicminc/issues/alert/?alertid=8486336&type=CO now.
Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to help STOP "guest worker" amnesty for illegal aliens. Thank you!
Sincerely,
William Greene, President

Isn't it appalling how just this very simple thing can't get through to the drooling sycophants here?
Spot on!
First time I have seen a phone number for response Unlimited that is the same as the Diener office on PA
RESPONSE UNLIMITED, INC.
Phil Sheldon
PO Box 3030
Lancaster, PA 17604-3030

Or was that a Freudian slip?
He's promised to build an "Israeli type fence", but hasn't done so.
He stopped building, at the site the wee cattle fence was built, because he said it was TOO HOT to do more, but now you're saying that, he'll build the Israeli type fence someplace else.
But Simcox has hired a lawyer, A LAWYER?, to build the Israeli fence?
Weren't volunteers supposed to build the fences?
You say :"At a minimum, he's trying."
You know what they say, about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions........don't you?
bttt
That bit smells..........and then some.
Interesting.
I know. I mean people need to pull off their rose color glasses here. They got scammed They also didn't get scammed by this all powerful open borders lobby I keep hearing about. They got scammed by the people that have been advocating for their cause and who they chose to advocate for them. This denial is getting silly
Thanks, I'll wait until all of the facts are in before commenting further.
Maureen Otis should have not done that letter of support and put it in Human Events. That was a major miscaculation, Now many people are going to go Who?

See any reason for someone to be a bit paranoid?
"Do you think that Simcox and company are such complete tools that Bush could sucker them into this PR debacle by calling them vigilantes over a year ago?"
Do you think calling them vigilantes helps with openness?
Openly calling them liars, frauds, racists, vigilantes, tools repeatedly on this forum and others, whipping up a self feeding media frenzy is really advantageous to having someone open their books. If you were under attack from the media, would you open your books to anyone who asked or hire a lawyer and do what's minimally required?
The MMDC does not legally have to answer to you or your requests. They have to satisfy their donors and volunteers first. If the donors and volunteers are happy, no amount of harping will get them to disclose finances beyond what is legally required.
It's a simple concept.
It's getting creepy, actually.
