Minuteman Project Receives Glowing Financial Audit Report
The long-awaited results of a financial audit of the Minuteman Project were presented publicly today with a positive audit report that establishes the integrity of that organization and its president, Jim Gilchrist.
The audit firm’s “unqualified” report is the most prestigious and complimentary opinion that can be given to a company by the accounting and audit industry in the United States. The audit was conducted by the Burbank, Ca. CPA firm of Terrence Milaney.
“I am elated,” Gilchrist said of the results of the two-month-long audit of the immigration law enforcement advocacy group he founded almost three years ago to bring national awareness to the nation’s illegal alien invasion crisis.
“I never doubted that the Minuteman Project would come through its annual audit with flying colors,” Gilchrist added.
The auditor’s report stated that the financial position of the Minuteman Project was in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles “in all respects.”
The Minuteman Project, founded by Gilchrist on Oct. 1, 2004, spawned a coast-to-coast movement with several hundred independent minuteman organizations sprouting up nationally. Gilchrist, known for maintaining a policy of openness to law enforcement, tax authorities, and the media, said transparency is the best policy in the business of volunteer activism.
Gilchrist’s advice to the many minuteman groups across the country: “Let’s get on with saving our country. Come on, Americans. Let’s roll!”
Gilchrist added that he expects those who attempted to steal the Minuteman Project several months ago will continue harassing him and his associates with frivolous lawsuits, malicious defamation, and other types of interference designed to stall the minuteman movement.
The audit report and accompanying financial statements will be available for viewing on the Minuteman Project and Gilchrist’s personal web sites on August 3.

It’s just the two of them now; Paul Sielski is facing 25 years in prison and Barbara Coe swam away from the sinking wreckage long ago.
Just discovered this little chestnut about Deborah Courtney.

Why the sarcasm. It WILL upset the WH.
The request had been rejected by Jamillah Moore, interim superintendent of Compton Community College...
....and will allow the group’s use of campus facilities with the main requirement information about counter-demonstrators who could be expected, in order to prepare security, officials said.
That's easy. Just point them to La Raza's web site.
That thread seems to be about Simcox, not Gilchrist. Are there some specific posts in that thread that refer to Jim?
I hope by now everyone understands the difference between Jim Gilchrist/Minuteman Project (Good audit!) and Chris Simcox/MCDC (What audit???)
Mr. Gilchrist impressed me as a man of the highest caliber of morality and sincereness when he held a meet in Nashville. Rolling Thunder members from all over the nation treated us to a “rumble” before the speakers got going. Just awesome.
You were very good, too! I shook hands with the both of you (I think) after most of the attendees dispersed and mentioned Free Republic. You guys put up with a lot of crap on the tour yet persevered. How did you like those State Troopers over on the TN State Capital watching for a nervous tic? Shades of 1933 Germany.
Oops, you’re right. That’s what I get for posting too early in the morning.
CPA firms do not issue “glowing audit reports”. The best audit report a company will get from a CPA firm will essentially state that the auditors found that, in their opinion, the company’s financial statements present fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles the results of operations and financial position of (client name) as of (Fiscal year end date and the year then ended.)
This press release is B.S.
Tom (30 yr experience as CPA.)
If you do a Google search of “CPA”, you probably will find a bunch of references to Enron, McKesson & Robbins, and other large, publicly held bankrupt companies and broken CPA firms.
If the liberal idiots at Google were feeling magnamous, you may even find that the CPA firm in the Enron fiasco was absolved of culpability, after they (and about 1,000 partners) were forced to declare bankruptcy due the witch hunt the democommies and the MSM performed in that case.

It’s easy for me, I started working with Jim on the original MMP in November of 2004 in advance of the April 2005 Project. But still, sometimes I have to really focus on a posting to “figger out” what is really being said. And with that…
So it isn’t really a firm, but an individual? Interesting.
Try adding "CPA" and "Burbank" to your search and you'll find a bit more, including the accountant's office address and telephone numbers.
But let's say that 'Brother Harris', noted TV evangelist accused of playing fast and loose with the collection plate, announces that his ministry's finances have been investigated and approved by a CPA who barely registers on Google (and certainly not as a forensic accountant)... don't we wonder just a little? A KPMG audit, for instance, would be a lot more convincing.
Isn't that the truth!
