"Rally Against the Minutemen!
Disrupt the Minutemen's Rally!

On the steps of the State Capitol, Sacramento, California
The Bay Area Coalition to Fight the Minutemen is mobilizing an action to
oppose the Minuteman Project's rally to gather public support for their
attempts to harass poor, undocumented border-crossers and to announce
their support of a new initiative that would establish a state border
police in addition to the existing federal border patrol. This rally will
take place in Sacramento on the Capitol steps on October 29th from 10am
to 12:30pm. It will feature the founder of the Minuteman Project, Jim
Gilchrist, and the legislative sponsors of the California Border Police
Initiative, amongst others. Governor Schwarzenegger has also been invited
to speak.
The Minuteman Project is seeking legitimization from the public and state lawmakers to give them authority to patrol the border with guns and they want taxpayers to pay for it. We at BACFM are outraged at the Minuteman Project's attempts to push their trigger-happy, racist ideologies that deny people their human rights to dignity, food, water, security and freedom of movement because of their class and skin color/nationality. We believe the Minuteman Project is a symptom of the problem of having borders between nations.
BACFM is calling on all groups opposed to the Minuteman Project and the Governor's support of the Minutemen to gather at the Capitol Steps to tell them that their vigilanteism will not be tolerated on the state border or in the state legislature "...
To correct this post:
The Minuteman, are a legitimate group of patriotic citizens, authorized and called forth by the US Constitution, to fullfill the duties of the failings governments.
The Minuteman, do not need for lawmakers to give them authority to patrol the border with guns,but if
taxpayers want to pay for it, they are not discouraged from donating or participation.
The Minuteman, are not trigger-happy or racist, and their ideologies come from belief in the US Constitution.
Would you please prove this in a court of law: "The Minuteman, deny people their human rights to dignity, food, water, security and
freedom of movement because of their class and skin color/nationality."
I believe the presence of unemployed men, some lacking proper documents for employment, congregating in our streets, is a symptom of the problem of having open-borders between nations, and governments failure to control immigration. These poor, undocumented border crossers, you mention, have to find food, water, money and sex, from some source, at sometime, so I guess you wouldn't mind accomodating them with yours.
