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." He did not, however, disclose during an interview last week or in a 3,961-word follow-up statement how much Declaration Alliance and its affiliated organizations have been paid for their services
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...."

This whole thing is like an onion, you just keep peeling away layer after layer and it's amazing what is then revealed. Did you see that Judicial Watch is also there?
spending a few minutes on the canary website and it's easy to see its agenda. laughable.
Oh. thanks!
Well she is a pretty loyal Republican. I think she got upset because a guy she likes Lindsy Grahmn was being attacked left and right and she went to found out why.
The facts though she gives and the links are pretty good. I think this is a tad of a problem myself
The Names of the political candidates that EV has worked for who have ended up actually WINNING the general election is listed below:
Hmm I think Judical watch is a seperate organization that isntassoiated with this group. It seems to me if I remeber right the Scaife Foundation is where they got their bucks
Sure, sure, n00b, come on the thread and try to smear someone who is exposing the dirty laundry. You're the one who is "laughable".
Scaife and JW? I don't think so...go dig around in FR's archives; I'm sure that there is a bunch of stuff there on JW and Scaife and they don't merge at any time, IIRC.
the site is laughable. but I have seen your posts before. you're not a conservative, I know that.
Actually, I am delighted that YOU don't "think" ( that would be "feel", since thinking is something you aren't all that well acquainted with doing ) that I am a Conservative! Your kind of "conservative" is a soooooooooooooooooo far off the cliff fringe, that it's lefty.
Did you think that name up all by yourself or did the goat?
You are such a phoney.
Nobody is buying your B.S.
But keep trying!
This is what I would call it: 
Manure spreading. Lots of old rehashed excrement, nothing new really, no facts, lots of rehashed charges that dont stick and have never been prosecuted. Lots being flung for smell and entertainment and to see what sticks. When they post enough, the Washington Times, the Compost, NYSlimes, AP and Reuters will pick up the story and rehash it again. This has already happened from previous threads.
Wont make a whit of difference to the MMDC. Apparently the negative posters do not trust the IRS and AZ Attorney General, the Cochise County Sherriff's department, the Cochise County tax assessors or any other law enforcement to do their job. So they are flinging manure.
Flying manure has such a nice smell and is entertaining to all these folks. Especially if they have a politically motivated grudge not founded in reality.
How many threads have you already spammed with this same post?
Not as many as you have with yours.
The joke is what Simcox has done to the whole MM org:

*LOL*
Hey, is it true that Simcox couldn't pass his own security check? (I've been trying to catch up, and this fact interested me)
