HOLIDAY SUPPORT REFUSED BY NATIONAL GUARD COMMANDERS
AND GOVERNOR NAPOLITANO

CARE PACKAGES FROM MINUTEMAN CIVIL DEFENSE CORPS WILL NOT BE ISSUED TO TROOPS ON UNITED STATES—MEXICO BORDER

SCOTTSDALE, AZ— The Minutemen Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) has been informed by commanders of the National Guard troops stationed on the United States—Mexico border that they will not be permitted to distribute care packages during the holiday season to 156 National Guard personnel stationed on the border. The event dubbed Operation Christmas Stocking was originally cleared by field command, suddenly on Monday of this week MCDC was notified that because of political reasons which involved orders from Governor Napolitano and high level commanders the offering of holiday support was nixed.

After several attempts to appeal to the sympathies of unit commanders, a statement released today by Major Paul Aguirre Public Affairs Office, AZ National Guard states “The National Guard is very appreciative of your thoughtful offer during this holiday season. However, based on operational, safety, and security reasons we will be unable to support your request to … distribute your care packages to our soldiers and airmen”.

The care packages were organized in an effort to demonstrate appreciation to the National Guard troops, from states other than Arizona, who have volunteered for the assignment to secure the border from terrorists, drug cartels and illegal crossings rather than spend their holiday season with their families in Michigan, Tennessee and North Carolina.

“We are grateful to the members of the National Guard who understand the importance of securing our borders and therefore we wish to demonstrate our appreciation for their sacrifice during the holiday season,” stated Chris Simcox, Founder and President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. “Soldiers are always sent care packages while stationed on the front lines in combat and the US-Mexico border is the front line on the War on Terror.” It is a shame they are punished by the politically motivated discriminatory acts of Governor Napolitano and the open borders lobby in Washington, D.C.”

MCDC now has 156 cares packages that were to be delivered to Sasabe, Arizona on Saturday. The care packages include store bought cookies and candies, sunscreen, skin lotion, chap stick, long underwear and various other personal items to help our troops cope with the Sonoran desert region where they have been assigned.

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) is a peaceful, law-abiding citizen-led initiative organized to stand watch at our borders, report illegal activities to the proper authorities, and build border fencing on private lands using private donations. Additionally, MCDC seeks to urge local and federal officials to enforce our laws in order to keep our families and country safe. MCDC conducts border watch operations that assist the activities of the U.S. Border Patrol, reports employers of illegal aliens and keeps tax dollars from being used for illegal alien benefits.

Since when have any American citizen of this country been denied from sending care packages to any of our Military or National Guard members? I believe this is an act of discrimination and racial profiling against our Minutemen by the Gov. of Arizona and any and all others that are preventing this act of kindness and thanks from some of our citizens to our Guardsmen who are standing duty on our borders trying to protect us! I would bet if it had been some illegal alien drug dealers in jail there in AZ who wanted to send care packages to our boys the good Gov. would have allowed them all the access they wanted to our National Guard.This pisses me off to no end, there is being a line drawn in the sand and there will be a war in the future here in America! If we allow these evil asshole leaders stay in power, we will lose our country to the illegals and their paramours our government! I have had it totally frigging had it, what is going on, we have our President granting pardons to drug dealers this Christmas at least 15 of them, at the same time as he is denying pardons to 2 border guards for doing their jobs, now this piece of shit governor denying our citizens the Minutemen, access to deliver Christmas care packages to our men on the border I believe the Minutemen's civil rights are being stomped on, they need to take this, this,this , woman to court!

Napolotano is an idiot and so are the people who re-elected her

This is really sad and I mean sad! American Citizens can't show gratitude to another America? But it is ok to give gifts and support those criminals here illegally?

Well, I guess this confirms what we already knew, Gov. Napolotano considered the Minutemen to be an enemy of the state vice patriots.

Shouldn't we be blasting her with both barrels? Anyone got an email address?

Her email is at:

You know, if care packages were compiled for some homeless people they'd be welcomed with open arms. What was her reason? Maybe she just doesn't like the Minutemen? Very sad indeed.

Disgraceful. Letter sent.

This has never made the MSM here in Arizona either.
