The Minute Men were founded in October 2002 to address the issue of illegal entry to the United States. There are 117 chapters across the nation and 10,000 volunteers.

Simcox emphasized that some groups of the Minute Men split from the original organization; he apologized for their extreme rhetoric and stressed this is not what he represents.

What a load. The Minutman project was started in late 2004 by Jim Gilchrist. That resulted in the original Minuteman Project in April 2005. The Minuteman Project exists to this day as a group of individual organization.

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps did not exist untill several months AFTER the original project in April, 2005. It is Chris Simcox's org and primarily asks for donations which seem to disappear into MCDC will little coming back out to aid the volunteers that join MCDC. Chris pretty much causes some sort of trouble in everything he is involved in. He has had entire State Chapters quit en mass due to his refusal to account for rather large sums of money donated by the volunteers.

Some egotistical volunteers tried to blind-side Simcox and take over. It didn’t work so now they smear him.
Gilchrist was voted out by his organization. He does nothing on the borders ever since 2005. He’d rather write books and run for office.
All Minutemen and Minuteman groups are patriots and are, at least, doing something about this invasion. Why bash them? Where would we be without them?
