This is too important of issue to screw up, liberal groups would say oh well and continue the battle. Conservatives will just not fund groups that are necessary to battle for their beliefs.
Chris Simcox needs to solve this so people will have confidence to donate to the Minutemen.

Let me say this as to conservative donating to groups. I am now after all this a firm believer in this site

I am never going to donate to another one of this groups till I take the time to look at their 990 irs form and see where the money is going.
I think now if I going to start donating directly to the RNC, or for Guns the NRA for instance, or just directly to the canidiate. There are good organizations out there but now I know the warning signs on the bad ones

Or so that they will donate to other groups. He needs to step up and step up now, because otherwise it will hurt other groups who come along after him. I thought it was a wonderful idea, but there has been some shady stuff going on as of late. I can believe that their group was overwhelmed by donations of money, materials, etc., but it would be easy enough for them to have hired people well before now, to take care of the finances and explain how the money is being spent.
The fact that they haven't hired somebody (or several) to handle the financial side of things doesn't necessarily indicate financial mismanagement, but it does indicate a breakdown in communications and management in general. If they have hired somebody to handle the finances properly, and just are refusing to release the details, then there is a serious problem. You don't take over a million dollars from hard-working Americans and tell them "it's none of your business" when they ask where the money is going.
