Minutemen raise dough. Can't 'splain where it go.

Methinks they've got more than just dumbness going on. Although they've got plenty of THAT. After all, they were the numbskulls who got run out of a Vermont town while they pretended to patrol the NORTHERN border equally as the SOUTHERN one---with FOUR dudes in VT-------then they got LOST in the woods and became illegal aliens in Canada by refusing to ask directions.

AND they built a ten mile fence in AZ and appeared on Univision, whose camera panned over to a neatly piled stack of bags of concrete, each with the logo, "Mezcla Concreto Mexicano." What next, contracting out to illegal aliens to do the heavy lifting?

Minuteman group releases financial information

11/25/2006
Associated Press

An Arizona civilian border patrol group has released financial records to answer questions about how the nonprofit spends contributions, but some former Texas members said they still aren't sure where the money goes.

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps collected more than $54,000 in registration fees for background checks but spent only about $1,000 for that purpose last year, according to an IRS form and audit report released by group leader Chris Simcox.

The group raised more than $418,000, mostly through contributions, and spent nearly $450,000, including about $280,000 for "program services" and $145,000 on fundraising. ....

But questions about finances and other concerns have led some members to quit the group. Among those was Bill Parmley, the former head of the group's Texas chapter, who left in July 2005. ....

Kim Fromme, former director of operations for the group's Texas chapter, quit in February over concerns about where the money was going.

"It didn't go down to the border, that's for sure," Fromme said. ___
