Minuteman Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
Why don't the Minutemen make a little detour and bring their message and recruiting efforts to Crawford?
God bless the Minutemen.
what does la raza mean again...lol
Such a move would bring a potent non partisan political force to the arena. Watch the Democrats and Republicans all of a sudden fall in with the Minutemen.
The passion is there. It needs to be nurtured. The Minutemen as of now stand to be the best hope of collecting this anger welling up in America.
Hmm, I wonder if he's referring to organizations such as La Raza and MEChA?
Nothing but race-based accusatory rhetoric from a person associated with an organization that works to help Latinos, and only Latinos.
I have checked and the last time I mentioned that the Minute Men should be called "Neighbor Hood Watchers" was 5/25/05.
Thanks again for calling "neighbors" just what they are good neighbors watching for intruders into our home [country].
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
They have. It is called Operation Spotlight and is here...

Jim Gilchrist has formed the project and he is the Minuitman Project originator I began working with last December.
Got no idea where that came from.
How about Minuteman....
There will be a perception that you are a Klansman due to the Hoods they wear.
Simple solution: Uncle should enforce the law. Anyone employing an illegal should go to jail. (duh-solution!)
BTTT
The Minutemen should start to expand their operations.
They are and have been and will likely be coming ever closer to a neighborhood near more concerned citizens in the coming weeks and months.
Watching the borders is one thing. Millions who do not live near the border should be recruited to bring the message to the heartland.
It is, has been and is growing like a wildfire burning out of control.
I could easily imagine an organization larger than the NRA.
Agreed and it is happening with each passing day.
I can imagine recruiting union workers who are on the front-line of job disintegration.
That may be a tougher nut to crack but could happen but IMO wouldn't be a deal breaker if they choose to continue to court the latino worker as they continue to see their ranks being thinned out due to the mass influx of cheap slave labor from the third world nation illegal workers.
I can imagine recruiting small service businesses who can't compete with business operators exploiting cheap "temporary guest worker" labor.
I would tend to agree.
I can imagine recruiting hospital middle management employees who see the huge diversion of insurance paid by honest patients given to illegal's.
I agree but not only hospital middle management workers. The same could easily apply to most any other white collar business but will only happen if these affected people start waking up and seeing for themselves what the effects are for themselves and their loved ones.
I can imagine many Americans will take up the cause who see illegal's taking the jobs they want.
This is starting to happen as we speak and will only grow in size and its impact.

I'm already watching as republican Representatives and Senators are already probing ways to co-op and/or preempt the movement without alienating their big corporation contributors and so far their tactics and antics are proving impotent as Americans are starting to open their eyes in larger numbers and looking outside the traditional two-party sell out crowd in Washington and around the country. IMO Rep. Culbertsons bill at creating state militas is just another attempt at co-opting the growing grass roots movement. Beware of politicans bearing gifts sounding too good to be true.

Agreed and they are and they are working towards that goal.

They are starting to fall, LoneRanger!
