MINUTE MAN PROJECT AIR FORCE

America’s 21st century Boston Tea Party nears the start date. The Minute Man Project in Tombstone, Arizona features American volunteers expected to exceed 1,000 men and women from 49 states of the Union. Volunteers range from 21 to 75. Its sponsors, former combat veteran U.S. Marine, Jim Gilchrist and Publisher Chris Simcox of the Tombstone Tumbleweed, think the number could be as high as 2,000 volunteers by the start date of April 1, 2005.

Deemed the greatest ‘Neighborhood Watch’ group in America’s history, those American patriots stand to assist U.S. Border Patrol agents—just like neighbors in any community in America call the police when someone suspicious enters their neighborhood. For thirty days, armed with binoculars nd night scopes, American patriots will be doing the jobs that our Congress won’t do. They will report illegal aliens to federal agents. The goal is to stop illegal aliens for 30 days to show it can be done.
Assisting them, Richard Humphries commands a 30 plane air force that will fly the border with orders to point out illegals for the ground volunteers.
“We are getting so many volunteers, ground crews especially, that we are considering a cut-off date pretty soon,” Humphries said. “The most significant news is that we have changed our M.O. and now, instead of trying to remain as hidden and unnoticed as possible, so that we would be undetected by the illegals, we will be as obvious as possible, playing music, lighting campfires and wearing bright clothing.”
“This tactic will let the aspiring illegals see, while still south of the border, that there is a line of American citizens just waiting to alert Border Patrol if they are foolish enough to cross, which should prevent them from crossing,” Humphries said. “That is far safer than calling them in after they have crossed and, after all, what we are trying to do is show that, with enough manpower, the flow can be stopped.”
“This should make Border Patrol much happier about the whole thing and it certainly will make it harder for our media to continue to portray us as ‘gun toting vigilantes taking the law into their own hands,’” Humphries said.
“We will simply be a LARGE number of “families” camping along the border, 24/7, having fun and getting to know each other, which will, of course, notify Border Patrol if we happen to see any illegals.”
“I plan on limiting the aerial surveillance to no more than four planes at a time, each assigned to a grid that they will stay in each plane will have,” Humphries said. “In addition to the pilot, an “observer” equipped with the proper radio equipment, so that he can communicate not only with our command center, but directly with the other planes, our ground crews and Border Patrol.”
“Experience has shown me that it is highly improbable that all 30 planes will actually show up and the ones that do will not be here at the same time,” Humphries said. “However, I get more planes almost every day, so who knows just how many we may end up with? With enough planes and ground troops we can perhaps expand our area of operation which, as it now stands, is a 20 mile stretch of border from the Huachuca Mountains east to Douglas.”
“If we do expand, maybe I will have six or more planes in the air at the same time, each flying perhaps a three hour shift,” Humphries said. “There will be no night flights authorized by me but if someone wants to do it on his own, I can’t stop him.”
The Minute Man Project stands as an American Moment. It’ll be a second Woodstock with another theme: “AMERICANS DOING THE JOBS THEIR CONGRESS WON’T DO.” President Bush neglects his oath of office. He’s in violation of Article IV Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. The majority of Congress is in violation of their oath of office.
“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” Mark Twain
The Minute Man Project’s time is now! It’s you. It’s me. It’s an American Moment. Either read about it in history books or be a part of it.
