NOTICE!
Future volunteers for
field observation and reporting activities to be
put on waiting list.
[Media
please see memo below]*
The response from the public
to the Minuteman Project Political Rally and Protest has
been overwhelming. To keep the
MMProject political assembly and protest at a manageable
size, all volunteers applying after Friday, March
18 will be held in a waiting list.
This notice
does not apply to the following:
(1) Current
or former members of any U.S. law enforcement
organization.
(2) U.S.
military veterans with LRRP (long range reconnaissance)
background and who are committing to a minumum of one
week.
(3)
Attorneys of any discipline; preferably with backgrounds
in protecting U.S.
citizen's First Amendment rights, and protection from
abuse of power by
governmental agencies and/or their appointees.
(4) Licensed HAM
radio operators.
(5) Pilots
with aircraft. Especially
needed are additional rotary wing pilots
with current
experience in turbine powered helicopters.
(6) Volunteers
committing for at least 15
days between April 10 - 30.
Volunteers meeting the
above requirements will be given priority
consideration.
While the Minuteman
Project may not be able to include all those who
would like to volunteer for the field observation
and reporting activities of April 1 through 30,
that does not mean you cannot come to Cochise County
(Tombstone), Arizona during that time.
You may continue to submit your volunteer
information via the MMProject web site, however, there
can be no assurance that the project will be able to
accommodate your desire to participate in MMProject
field observation/reporting activities.
You are always welcome to participate in public
rallies with the MMProject volunteers.
The MMProject encourages all persons to exercise
their rights to freely, and peacefully, assemble and
speak under the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution.

*Memo to all media:
Please contact the
office of Civil Homeland Defense (Chris Simcox,
founder) in Tombstone, Arizona for any information
regarding media participation and/or reservations for
events. The email address is:
contact@civilhomelanddefense.us
I am sorry I have not
been able to reply to all requests for media interviews.
Please do not
misconstrue a lack of response to your requests as an
attempt to deter your participation and involvement in
the MMProject. While the MMProject maintains an "open
season" policy to those journalists who function under
the professional canons of journalism, it is currently
too overwhelmed to handle all requests.
Thank you for your
patience.
Respectfully Yours,
James Gilchrist
THE U.S. WANTS
YOU!

If YOU, or someone you know, would like to

To Citizens of the Republic of the United States
of America:
I invite you to join me in Tombstone,
Arizona from APRIL 1 - 30, 2005 to assist the U.
S. Department of Homeland Security by observing
and reporting illegal activity on and around the
southern border of the United States.
The purpose of this political assembly in
Arizona is to protest the refusal of the
Congress and the President to protect our
borders from illegal immigrants who have not had
criminal background checks by, and through, the
U.S. Embassy in their home country, thereby
creating an imminent danger to all Americans,
and creating the dilution of US citizen's voting
rights by foreign nationals.
Chris Simcox of Civil Homeland Defense, and the
publisher of the Tombstone Tumbleweed newspaper
in Tombstone, Arizona has helped protect our
borders for FOUR
years with only a handful of patriotic
volunteers. It is time we provided him with
support. |

This
is strictly a volunteer project. No financial
subsidies are available. And, you will probably
need a tent, sleeping bag, hiking gear, etc. You are
responsible for all costs associated with your
participation.
Our policy of passive
activity will be to OBSERVE
with the aid
of binoculars - telescopes - night vision scopes,
and inform the U.S. Border Patrol of the location of
illegal activity so that border patrol
agents can investigate.
We will not be
confrontational with anyone. Each volunteer will be
solely acountable for his or her actions and will be
required to complete and sign a "hold harmless"
waiver before participating in field activities.
The tentative area of
observation will be a 20-mile stretch of lowlands
across the San Pedro Valley in southeast Arizona.
I hope to bring
serious media and political attention to this
event. It will tune the American people into the
shameful fact that 21st century minutemen/women have
to help secure US borders because the US government
REFUSES to provide our dutiful U.S. Border Patrol
and Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) with the manpower and funding required to do
so.
The estimated cost per
person (for 30 days) could be as high as $3,500, or
as low as $1,200, depending on your travel, meal and
lodging arrangements. Costs can be substantially
lower for those who share two-bed lodging rooms, or
take advantage of land owner's low fee land use for
RV parking and/or tenting. I intend to stay the
entire 30 days of this mission, however, that length
of time is not
a requirement to volunteer.
The Tombstone
area offers some interesting hunting, hiking,
camping, horse riding and mountain
climbing opportunities for avid outdoorsmen/women.
If YOU are interested
in participating in this unprecedented event, please
contact me via email at:
century21minuteman@sbcglobal.net
[ all lower case ]
or visit the website:
www.minutemanproject.com
Please provide a brief
history of yourself. For example, your vocation, any
military background, outdoors (outback) experience,
etc. There are no prerequisites for joining this
mission, however, I would like to know something
about the experiences of those responding to this
invitation.
The Minuteman
Project welcomes participants regardless of
gender, race, color, creed, age, or physical
disability. An enthusiastic invitation is extended
to current and former members of any law
enforcement organization,
or military veterans with reconnaisance (LRRP) or
intelligence gathering experience.
