MORE MCDC describes itself as a "project" of the Declaration Alliance. The Minuteman political action committee, which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in political contributions this year, is formally known as the Declaration Alliance Minuteman Civil Defense Corps Political Action Committee, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Connie Hair, spokeswoman for MCDC and Mr. Keyes, said she had been asked not to talk with The Times.
... SNIP...
In interviews this week, they said the organization's first IRS filing as a 501(c)4 tax-exempt charity on Nov. 15 failed to answer many of their concerns. They said, for example, there was no accounting in the new filing for at least $150,000 in the $50 registration fees required of the 4,000 Minuteman volunteers.
Others questioned why the IRS financial statement included mention of the construction of a border fence, since the filing listed MCDC contributions and expenditures only for 2005. They noted that Mr. Simcox began the fence project in April 2006.
In a statement posted on the MCDC Web site, the group's board of directors, which Mr. Simcox heads, decided that "this year and this year only" it would make public the organization's financial records. The statement did not address the fact nonprofit organizations such as MCDC are required to file annual financial statements, which are available to the public.

made false statements in seeking to solicit donations, failed to properly administer money it had collected, and withheld documents sought as part of an "investigative subpoena."

The Aug. 18 "agreement and order," signed by Declaration Foundation Executive Director Mary Parker Lewis, a top Minuteman adviser, acknowledged that the charity made false statements in seeking to solicit donations, failed to properly administer money it had collected, and withheld documents sought as part of an "investigative subpoena." Things that make you go Hmmmm. (Emphasis mine)
So, EV, let me get this straight. You posted several threads AFTER this agreement was signed vouching for the integrity of the organization and its sound operations? Sounds like you're not in the loop. Or....

I look forward to the explanation that this problem is unique to Pennsylvania, and that the Declaration Foundation has behaved in an exemplary manner in the other 49 states.
