I KNOW WHY AMERICA IS GREAT-THE MINUTEMAN PROJECT
Moderator edit to move from FR section: AuntB asked me to move her post to this section. According to Aunt B, her commentary was first posted on FR but she doesn't know it's current status. To pull or not to pull? :wink: She says her comments have also been posted on a blog but she doesn't have the URL. Rather than posting those negative commentaries from the news media pundits, we can just turn to our "resident" commentator, AuntB! :lol:
-I KNOW WHY AMERICA IS GREAT- THE MINUTEMAN PROJECT ... by AuntB
April 4, 2005 - Tombstone, Arizona
Terry Anderson was on fire last night on his weekly radio show (KDWN, Las Vegas, LA- www.theterryandersonshow.com ) with reports from participants in the MinuteManProject in Tombstone, Arizona.
First Mark Edwards, host of Wake Up America ( www.wakeupamericafoundation.com ) had just returned to Las Vegas saying that all was quiet except the protesters protesting the minutemen. As Terry Anderson said, “They’re against ANYTHING we want to do, but have nothing to offer [to solve the problem of illegal immigration,] “
It seems human smuggling and crossings have greatly decreased from this most often infiltrated part of the border. (The MMP has proven what they set out to --- guarding the border will keep the crossings down!) Unfortunately these illegals will enter at unprotected points now.
Edwards also stated there was a 2 hour press conference Sunday with Jim Gilchrest, Congressman Tom Tancredo (wearing a MMP hat and “undocumented border patrol� T-shirt) and others and that the journalists actually asked good, intelligent questions. I have witnessed this phenomenon among reporters when they actually see a situation first hand rather than their own prejudices in the visions of their mind.
Luca Zanna ( http://www.unitedstates.fm/ ) was also in Tombstone over the weekend with several hundred patriotic Americans to show his support for the MMP. Luca, a recent immigrant with only a few days left until full USA citizenship, called Terry to report on the activities. I will end this with the email, with his permission, that I received from him this morning. Get a kleenex!
I wanted to let you know that I' am just back from 3 days in the Arizona
border with the Minute man project... the most beautiful and heart breaking
experience I've ever had in my life... I've had to hold my tears when I saw
the sacrifice and the determination of the american people that have joined
this historical event: seniors men and women, young kids, invalid on the
wheelchair... average joe and jane from every state... normal people that
sacrificing their time and money, with extreme love and determination came to Tombstone to protest to keep America safe! I've seen them under the sun of the Arizona desert, and in the dark of the nights, risking their lives and leaving their homes and comfortable habits to make a stand... !!!
I know why America is great... it is not just because of the financial and
industrial strength, not because of going to Mars of to the moon... it is
because of the American people and their determination to fight for their
rights... and the Constitution is our tool that will permit us to find the
answers... this weekend I've seen the Constitution and the bill of rights in
real action...
I am so proud to have been there with my fellows Americans... it has been
the most beautiful experience I've ever had
PS
I've have received in the mail from Homeland security the date of my
official oath 29th of April...
I will send you a photo
ciao
Luca

Watchman, or some moderator, should this be in the "News stories" section? Is there something I'm not doing when posting to put it in a particular area?
Thanks!
