BigSkyFreeper: "I'm not the one defending Simcox's shoddy financial records, which he hasn't denied."

We, the undersigned Minuteman Civil Defense Corps officers and leadership, have complete confidence in the professional firms we have retained to perform fiduciary responsibility and accounting for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. We here reconfirm the Board of Directors’ decision to employ accredited and experienced professionals to assist the organization in management of our finances.
The Declaration Alliance and the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps organizational entities are both in full compliance with IRS regulatory statutes and filing obligations. Each entity will file the requisite Form 990 on deadline by this November 15th, being held to the same standard as every other non-profit corporation in the country.
There are those both within the border security movement and actively opposed to it who, for ideological reasons or in advancement of personal ambition, wish the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to fail. Critics are obtaining false information from known racialists, anti-Semites and a small handful of disgruntled people who have been terminated from staff or from leadership involvement with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps over a year ago because they could not meet MCDC standards or adhere to our strict field standard operational procedures.
Consequently, these dismissed Minutemen have no actual knowledge of MCDC finances, regulatory compliance, filing deadlines, non-profit status, or other accountability matters.
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps with its border watch efforts in all four southern border states and five in the north and growing, has forced into the national spotlight the lawless and wide-open conditions at our borders. Illegal immigration and our lack of border security is now arguably the #1 issue in this country, and tabloid-style gossip of this nature drives readership. Recent criticism of Minuteman Corps finances is utterly without merit.
The Minuteman Corps has taken on every branch of government, every politician, every government entity and every agency involved in collusion or negligence to keep our borders wide open—and have exposed them as either corrupt, negligent or even criminal in their incompetence. It is no surprise that efforts to discredit our organization abound. We continue in our mission undistracted and undismayed by these groundless attacks.

EV, I dont' know if you do or not, but if you work for these folks you really should let people know that. I think people that have a vested interest in something should always be up front about it. Maybe put it in your tagline? Just a suggestion.
How long ago did they hire those professionals, EV?
Has it been since these questions came up last week?
That's their charter. That has nothing to do with Simcox being a crook.
