Summary of Minuteman Activities
in California for 2006

[COMMENT: Speaks for itself.... E. Fox]

Dear Fellow Patriot:

2006 is behind us and we have much to be thankful for. Let's take a look at the year in review.

We fielded more than 1,000 people here in CA throughout the year and did so without one single person being harmed or injured on either side of the border as a result of our efforts. In fact, more than two dozen received humanitarian aid. Congratulations!

800+ illegal aliens were spotted and reported to Border Patrol. Many untold thousands couldn't cross because we were there.

Our CA membership almost tripled to nearly 2,000 registered and vetted Minuteman Patriots

Our twice per year musters grew to a muster every month for 11 months of the year totaling 87 days of border coverage in 2006

We founded Camp Vigilance, our home away from home and established radio communications throughout our assigned area.

We added 3rd generation night vision, thermal imaging equipment and infra red spotlights to our border watch efforts.

Two new CA Chapters were organized. The NORCAL Minutemen in NAPA and the EASTBAY Minutemen in Walnut Creek.

We have been credited by the DEA with decreasing illegal drug traffic across the border 20%

The Border Patrol now looks to us as a strategic resource in the field and treats us as such

The CA Chapter erected two 1/4 mile long fences closing off Jewel Valley to illegal border crossers

The National Organization constructed miles of fence in AZ.

We got the President to send in the National Guard

We forced our politicians to sign landmark border security legislation (which unfortunately now appears to be in danger with a newly elected Democratic Congress).

All this and more in just 1 year. I remember freezing our butts off last January at the campgrounds wondering if we were going to be able to pull off the monthly musters; wondering if 6 months from then we would even still be around. Look at us now. You should all be congratulated and take a deep sense of pride in knowing what you have accomplished.

2007 promises to be a banner year for our movement. Amnesty is once again rearing it's ugly head championed by none other than El Presidente Bush. It saddens me to think that this one man has done more to destabilize our great nation than nearly any who have preceded him. Most of this occuring in the last two years.

In 2007 We have to stop Amnesty in its tracks.

We have to ensure the SPP project and the unification of North America is derailed permanently

We must secure our borders with a fence and sophisticated electronics equipment even if our government refuses to.

We must expand our coverage of the border to include new areas here in CA and at a minimum double our presence on the border itself through an assertive campaign.

New Chapters throughout CA are needed. Chapter Leaders needed.

Continue to build out and make Camp Vigilance a safe and comfortable home for our membership.

We must put the pressure on our do nothing politicians and let them know that pandering to illegal special interest groups will get them FIRED.

Expanding our Coverage

Interested in going to the border but can't make a Muster Weekend? We are putting together a plan to allow willing Minutemen the opportunity to use Camp Vigilance and secure the border on the other 27 days of the month. If you are interested in participating in this, send an email to reservations@campvigilance.com with the dates you would like to come down. We'll try to pair you up with other MM interested in the same dates. This type of effort will do a great deal to short circuit the smuggling, both people and drugs, that occurs when we are traditionally not at the border.

This is an ongoing effort. We are now nearly two years old and have accomplished more than any of us could have imagined. Our work is not done though, until the borders are secured and the illegals currently in our country are repatriated to their own. Your participation at the border and by continually contacting your elected representatives and telling them NO AMNESTY-SECURE OUR BORDERS is desperately needed. Let's make 2007 the year that we get our country back and stop the invasion. For good.

Semper Vigilans (always vigilant),

"We are Minutemen. Like the Patriots that stood before us at Lexington and Concord, ours is a struggle for the heart and soul of this great Republic. This is the playing field of Franklin, Adams and Jefferson.

It is not a burden...but a privilege."
