HATE GROUP TO MEET IN PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS!
Phone Jam to Shut Down the Minutemen Recruiting Drive in Philadelphia!

Call the Valley Forge Convention Center and demand that this meeting be canceled: 610-354-8212 and 610-354-8213. Also, please call GF Management – they help to manage the Valley Forge Convention Center: 215-972-2222 and express your displeasure!

The Minutemen Project, a Conservative anti-immigration group with strong links to, and overlapping membership with, violent white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations has announced plans to hold a recruitment meeting in Valley Forge, PA on Saturday, February 25, 2005.

The meeting, scheduled to take place at the Valley Forge Convention Center (1160 First Avenue, King of Prussia, PA, 19406), is set to feature Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minutemen Project, as the main speaker. Simcox is the gun-toting founder of the group, which since April has been arming itself, wandering the U.S.-Mexican border in search of "illegal immigrants", and detaining individuals at gunpoint.

Minutemen have openly discussed setting up sniper posts near the border, with the goal of shooting anyone attempting to cross.

Contrary to its claims, the Minutemen Project does not promote a policy of immigration reform. Instead, they promote a program of hate and intolerance; an extremist policy of stopping all non-white immigration into this country. They are a xenophobic group that blames immigration for everything that they are unhappy with. Last fall, the Minutemen were claiming that illegal immigrants were responsible for the sudden rise in gas prices in the United States.

The Minutemen have well-established ties to known white supremacist groups. Minutemen co-founder Jim Gilchrist has been involved with the neo-Nazi affiliated Council of Conservative Citizens for a number of years. In addition, members of the infamous National Alliance have claimed membership in the Minutemen Project and were identified participating in border "patrols" last spring and summer with the group. Over the years, the National Alliance has been tied to numerous violent crimes, such as the assassination of a Jewish radio host in Denver, and several high-profile robberies. The National Alliance has the dubious distinction of claiming Timothy McVeigh – the man responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing – as a supporter.

On July 30th 2005, the Minutemen front group, Save Our State, held an anti-immigrant rally in California. Numerous members of white supremacist groups attended this rally, and were caught on film carrying flags emblazoned with Nazi swastikas and Confederate insignia. They were also seen repeatedly giving Nazi salutes. One of the neo-Nazis who had been holding a swastika flag was also photographed holding a "Save Our State" banner. So much for plausible deniability!

We call upon everyone who is concerned about this meeting to call and email the Valley Forge Convention Center and demand that it be canceled. We will not stand idly by while fascist and neo-Nazis are allowed to organize in our community. We are calling for an emergency phone jam of the conference center, and are letting it be known that if the meeting is not canceled, the community will be out in force to protest this fascist scum!

Call the Valley Forge Convention Center Sales Office at 610-354-8212 and 610-354-8213 and let them know how you feel about them laying out the welcome mat for fascists. You can also fax the sales office at (610) 992-2884, or email the Director of Sales at cellesin@aol.com or the Convention Center Sales Manager at omlinsonm@gfhotels.com. Also, please also contact GF Management (1811 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103), the Philadelphia firm who helps to manage the Valley Forge Convention Center. They can be reached by telephone at 215-972-2222, by fax at 215-972-2259, and by email at info@gfhotels.com.

Please forward this message widely – together we can shut them down!!

In solidarity,

Philadelphia Residents Against Racism

When all the opposition has is lies, we know we are winning. Just pitiful.

I just sent emails to all three of those addresses asking that they give the Minutemen a warm welcome.

There is a blog at that link. I encourage all of you to post your rebuttals over there. It is very easy to post and you dont have to register if you dont want to. When you give them rational arguments, they can't hang!!

Wow, Minutemen got you scared, huh? And the only defense you can raise against them is to smear them as Nazis and Racists. You know, that is a tactic that Hitler was very good at!

Looks like YOU are the fascists and racists. If the MM are having a lawful meeting, you want to shut it down, just cause you don't like what they have to say. That sounds pretty fascist to me.

Do you worry about anybody else's rights except your own (same race) paisanos? What about all the Blacks laid off from hotel jobs in California so the Hotels could get rid of the Blacks' Unions and hire illegals fro half the wages. How about that RACISM, pal?

Just answer me one question. When you and your illegal alien buddies are finished bringing the wages and workplace standards down to what you left in Mexico, WHERE YOU GONNA GO FOR JOBS NEXT?

Pendejos, don't you understand that if you become "legal" guestworkers, you are going to be called up for military service because this Administration is eager to get over there to Iraq. CAN'T YOU SEE WHEN YOU ARE BEING USED? Do you think that an administration that will betray its own people WONT BETRAY YOU?

Necios, Who taught you that you would be rewarded for stealing people jobs and livelihoods. It is YOU who are pathetic, gutless wonders, as you spread 'em wide for your corporate masters.


And your illegal frieinds are NOT immigrants. the word immigrant implies a lawful entry into the host country. You and they are ILLEGAL ALIENS.

They booted your post so I put this one up...

I won't post the whole thing, but maybe you should read the law, amigo. Title 8 U.S. Code 1324. Here's one I really like.

Domestic Transporting -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law.

You folks are always hollering about 'racism', but you espouse it as the core belief of La Raza, MALDEF and Mecha. Have you told your bleeding heart liberals what Aztlan is yet, or were you just going to surprise them?

Anyone that supports illegal immigration needs to read the defining documents of these 3 organizations, and THEN decide what to do next. Education is the key, folks. Get your heads out of the boob tube before it's too late.

They booted mine, too

Why bother posting to them. Concentrate on the conventon center!
