A Texas firm that manages hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says it has not been authorized to divulge a detailed accounting of the funds, despite assurances by the MCDC's top official that it would do so.
Maureen E. Otis -- president of American Caging Inc. in Stafford, Texas, an agency hired to collect, deposit and disburse donations to the civilian border-patrol group -- told The Washington Times that neither MCDC President Chris Simcox nor the group's board of directors had given her permission to "disclose any numbers."
Mr. Simcox, who has been criticized by current and former MCDC members for a lack of leadership and financial accountability, had referred The Times to Mrs. Otis, saying she could "tell you everything" to clear up the concerns.
Instead, Mrs. Otis issued a statement saying only that all Minuteman donations have been "securely collected, counted and deposited" in MCDC bank accounts.
Telephone calls to Mr. Simcox in Phoenix, where he reportedly is on paternity leave, were routed to Minuteman spokeswoman Connie Hair in Virginia, who said the organization was not going to release "any unaudited numbers." She said that an audit will be completed in November and that any release of figures prior to that "is just not going to happen......."

Name them!
I'm in the same state, in a rural farming county, and over the course of the past few years our population of Mexicans (largely illegal, from what I can gather during conversations with the police in the aftermath of the several crime reports I've had to file), has ballooned to 15% of of total residents of the county.
I see espanol everywhere I go, but not a whit of parlez vous francais anywhere. The crime section of the local newspaper looks like a Mexico City telephone directory. Seriously.
It's getting bad.
I not good at all that formating stuff lol. I am sort of clueless about that lol. But I gave the link right below that is readable
Neither am I and I didn't see your link, until I had posted my complaint. SORRY! :-)
You are obviously working with the Bush Administration. The nonsense about suicide smallpox spreaders is clear propaganda. Smallpox by the CDC's own documents is not so virulent that it could be transmitted in such a way. Those who are contagious would not have the capacity to wander about unnoticed.
Spreading this patently false information is the mark of the New World Order. You've shown your hand and now we know your true color. Jesse Owens would not be proud of you today. Nor of Colin Powell or Condeleeza Rice.

Dear Concerned American:
I am writing you today about an urgent matter of the most vital importance to
you and your family...
As American and allied military forces embark upon combat with Iraq, as armed
conflict in the War on Terrorism
expands throughout the world, all of us are now at heightened risk of a new wave
of terrorist attacks in America. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge advises,
"Every family needs to be prepared." To find out how, click here:
http://www.survivingterrorism.com/a/cp.htm
In the past few weeks, the Pentagon has picked up "credible information that
Iraqi operatives were planning to use botulinum toxin to POISON AMERICAN FOOD
AND WATER supplies." ("Can Iraq Hit America?" Newsweek, 17 March 2003, p. 32).
IRAQ WILL UNDOUBTEDLY ATTEMPT TO RETALIATE AGAINST AMERICA. Iraqi or al Qaeda
suicide volunteers could be simply injected with smallpox and then dispersed
throughout the U.S. As Newsweek warns, "All they'd have to do is hang out in
crowds and slowly die."
Recently captured evidence shows terrorists have plans for attacks against U.S.
hospitals using anthrax, smallpox and botulism, AND possible citywide attacks
with radiological "dirty" bombs and terror sniper teams. Experts predict that
as the U.S. attack on Iraq proceeds, attempts WILL be made to "launch" chemical
and biological weapons of mass destruction against many U.S. targets.
An especially vulnerable target: THE U.S. POWER GRID, which experts say could be
shut down by terrorists armed with nothing more than shotguns and aluminum foil.
An attack on the power grid would paralyze cities and make it impossible to even
pump water to homes and offices.
With the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the U.S. military involved in armed conflict
around the world -- from Afghanistan to Columbia -- we must do our part, and be
vigilant and prepared here at home. The national terror alert has been elevated
from yellow to orange or "high," to indicate that another major attack against
the U.S. could occur at any time. Our government does not have the capability
to fully protect every American family.
What can YOU do to reduce the risks to your family and yourself? Plenty - IF
you act to inform and prepare yourself immediately.
If you haven't done so already, I strongly recommend that you educate yourself
on civil and home defense. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has put up
a "readiness" web site, www.ready.gov
But a much more comprehensive resource is the report, Surviving Terrorism. You
can get a copy of Surviving Terrorism today by going to
http://www.survivingterrorism.com/a/cp.htm
Here are FOUR CRUCIAL STEPS the report recommends you take IMMEDIATELY:
1. Assemble an emergency, 90-day food supply for each
member of your family.
2. Make sure you have at least a 3-day supply of safe
drinking water -- and a way to purify more.
3. Create an emergency escape and survival plan for your
family in the event of a biological, chemical, or
radiological attack.
4. Make sure you have plenty of cash available if you have
to flee or evacuate your city.
These measures will help, but they're just the FIRST STEP in getting prepared.
For the information you urgently need to protect yourself, check out the
complete internationally-acclaimed special report, SURVIVING TERRORISM by Jarret
Wollstein. In clear, plain English, this unique 312-page special report
explains how to protect yourself from everything from terrorists at airports, to
biological attacks, and dirty bombs.
During these anxious days, you can download this family and financial
preparedness manual at HALF PRICE --
but only if you act immediately! (There are also FOUR FREE BONUS REPORTS
included.) You can find out more here:
http://www.survivingterrorism.com/a/cp.htm
Please don't procrastinate. Learn what you can do to be prepared against our
enemies. This could be the most important decision you make for protecting your
family against terrorism. You'll also learn:
* Precisely what bioweapons Iraq may have -- and what you
can do to protect against them.
* How likely your city is to be attacked (includes a list
of the safest -- and most dangerous -- cities in the
U.S.).
* How to recognize the symptoms of anthrax, smallpox,
and other bio-weapons.
* 7 life-saving steps you must take immediately in the
event of biochemical attacks.
* Outrageous new medical martial-law regulations that
allow the government to seize your business and
quarantine you indefinitely without trial (along with
9 simple ways to protect yourself).
* How to travel safely in an Age of Terror: how you can
still legally arm yourself against terrorists and keep
from being a target.
* Where to buy a safe and inexpensive anti-radiation drug
that could save your family's lives. (It will be
impossible to get in a crisis.)
* Extensive emergency checklists and buying guide,
including meals you can buy for as little as 5¢ each!
* 17 areas of the economy that are soaring thanks to the
War on Terror, yielding profits of 141% to 941%!
* How to find out NOW if your bank, insurance company and
stocks are positioned to survive after-attack financial chaos.
We have the liberty to act responsibly in our own defense. So it is up to us.
Our federal government is advising each of us to prepare NOW on the home front
for the next terrorist attacks. Surviving Terrorism gives you the crucial
information you need to protect your family, home and community.

Don't leave your family needlessly vulnerable. Act today. As Vice President
Cheney has said, "It's not a matter of IF terrorists will strike America again,
but WHEN."

Thank you lol, Boy these people are into everything
Hmm interesting post from someone that is following this
http://donttellthedonor.blogspot.com/2006/07/when-donations-go-missing-lets-be-very.html
I can't wait for November 16th! LOL
Prove it.
Take the names of the usual suspects on these threads and Google them along with terms such as "tancredo", "amnesty", "vigilante", "gilchrist", and "simcox" and you'll get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
Add "keyes" to the list of google terms too. Some of these people have an absolute vendetta against anything Alan is involved with.
The owner of the Times, Sun Myung Moon claims "The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world." Sounds real credible to me.
So you're admitting that you want to see Simcox proven guilty rather than hoping for the best for the MCDC. At least you're honest and not spewing this righteous indignation crap some others are.
You made the statement, you prove it.
"Add "keyes" to the list of google terms too. Some of these people have an absolute vendetta against anything Alan is involved with."
You can lay part of that blame on the tone deafness and ham handed antics of some of his representatives and supporters.
I'll agree with you 100% there. There is big-time nastiness on both sides.
It IS a CONSERVATIVE newspaper and publishes articles bu some of THE best conservative columnist on this country.
But that's okay.....keep right on posting your uneducated drivel and we'll all have a good laugh at your expense.
And, should he finally, at long last, get some figures submitted, I want to see just WHERE the money went. It surely did NOT go to where he's been claiming it went to...i.e. supplies.
You can shut your nasty little mouth just about anytime now! And take all your other gutter mouth friends!!!!
