OUCH, that is going to leave a mark. You got any ice?

[Torie]

Just put some blades on the top, and it could be a wind farm, and get some government subsidies.

[AFreeBird]

The Minuteman fence? I figure it looks more like what the Senate version would be.

[Invisible Gorilla]

Look, I can see my mortgage!

[LdSentinal]

A fence won't work.

Land mines would a la Escape from New York.

LOL

[NautiNurse]

Oh.My.Gosh!

My dear, you have hit another home run!

[Nick Danger]

Badda-BING!

[Right Wing Assault]

That's a Ross Perot fence, with that terrible sucking sound.

Flagging

Here's a story you and the rest of the OBL on FR can appreciate.

How much ya wanna bet that's in their business plan? LOL.

[staytrue]

Absolutely brutal.

[staytrue]

fyi, simcox has had a "colorful" past.

bashing simcox and his accounting practices does not mean you like the illegals.

[Invisible Gorilla]

So is covering the bets. And showgirls!

I don't care about simcox, it's our open borders that are destroying our country. The illegal alien army that is invading us with our politicians blessings.

The MinuteMen brought the illegal alien problem out into public debate.

The MinuteMen brought the illegal alien problem out into public debate.

And then PT Barnum took the reigns and it became a sideshow.

We're talking about it aren't we? We shot down(for now) blanket amnesty for illegals.

[staytrue]

gilchrist is not very happy with simcox either.

simcox may or may not be a carpetbagger

please do a little reading on simcox

this is not about illegals, it is about honesty.

Illegal Immigration Could Cost Taxpayers Trillions

You're a taxpayer-right?

Then they need a new broom and sweep it clean. The MinuteMen is an honorable organization.

[A CA Guy]

In brief, what was uncovered with their finances?

Registered gives me the impression they were ripping off donations and not building fences.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

What a lovely thing to do for the Polish people; myself being one of them. :)

I have no Idea. It must be gazillions and gazillions for him to post it with such glee.

IIRC, a few million, but, don't hold me to it.

[processing please hold]

Give me a few and I'll find the article about their fiances.

True, the issue is still in play. That's why it's so important that there is accountability and truthfulness to all these groups that are pushing it. Unfortunately, all I am seeing are a bunch of scam artists that have made it a career out of using hot button issues to fleece honest, patriotic Americans. Some donors have even MORTGAGED their homes and sent hundreds of thousands of dollars into these groups (ie, MinutemanHQ) who act as if the only accountability standards they have to abide by are those found in the IRS guidebooks.

[NorseWood]

Is this being photographed from south of the border or north of the border? Who's the sucker?

[texastoo]

Registered gives me the impression they were ripping off donations and not building fences.

They are just like the federal government ripping off the taxpayers and not controlling our borders. This picture and the picture that Travis McGee used to post of the broken border fence makes me feel like a sucker.

[A CA Guy]

Bottom line, was the border fence money raided for their personal use beyond needed marketing and traveling expenses or were the guys in the company ripped off by their accountants or is everything OK?

[A CA Guy]

I got the impression they had accountant trouble.

Was it fraud by the board of directors?

[unsycophant]

I wonder how many Mexicans it took to build that sucker.

Here's a couple.

Minutemen put trust in their fiance firms

Minutemen not watching over funds(simcox questioned over funds)

True, the issue is still in play. That's why it's so important that there is accountability and truthfulness to all these groups that are pushing it.

I agree 100%. When donations are involved, there must be clarity on where and how those funds are spent.

Those, if an investigation proves they are scam artist need to be kicked out. That's no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water because of a couple of possible, and I say possible, crooks.

"The Declaration Alliance and the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps organizational entities are both in full compliance with IRS regulatory statutes and filing obligations," the statement said, adding that financial disclosure forms will be submitted by Nov. 15.

We'll all know come Nov. Until then, the more they scream scam artist, the more the MM project is doing their job and pissing off a lot of OBL.

[texastoo]

I really don't have any answers for this. We need Jackelopebreeder or someone close to this situation to explain this.

[Registered]

You need to examine the 990's available on Guidestar and then come back and be as trusting.

[GeronL]

They played on our fears!

wooo boy

[Registered]

btw, when the Washington Times runs a story like this followed up by their editorial board commenting on it, there is something very wrong in Whoville.

[Invisible Gorilla]

Minutemen put trust in their fiance firms

How many firms, how many fiances, and how many pre-nups?

[processing please hold]

Ok, I've registured at Guidestar, what am I looking for?

I've seen the 990's question a couple of times on different threads.

[Registered]

In all sincerity, I don't have the time or patience to hold your hand through Guidestar. I can't do your own research. Perhaps you should just be in the "I'll wait til the November filing" group?

[processing please hold]

The left sure hates the Minutemen. They must be doing something right.

In the statement, Mr. Simcox said that a “fully accredited, independent auditor” had begun an accounting of income and expenses and that a final audit would be delivered to the Internal Revenue Service by Nov. 15. It also said MCDC financial operations are overseen by professional banking institutions, accountants, auditors and lawyers, none of whom was identified.

Then why are your panties in such a twist? Nov, will get here.

[A CA Guy]

Thanks, but the whole thing seems clouded in mystery until November.

[Constantine XIII]

You win the internet. Good day!

[A CA Guy]

Well I don't feel Minuteman folks need to answer to me for anything, but for the sake of their reputations, I would consider not sitting on their defense of offense back against these charges.

Shutting up doesn't work IMO in cases like this.

[Constantine XIII]

BINGO!
