Rally Against the Minutemen!
Disrupt the Minutemen's Rally!
Saturday, October 29th, at 10am on the steps of the State Capitol, Sacramento, California
The Bay Area Coalition to Fight the Minutemen is mobilizing an action to oppose the Minutemen 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 Minutemen 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 tax payers 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 Minutemen 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.
NO RACISTS! NO BORDERS!

Minutemen are nothing but racist, fascist filth. They have a few vendidos and Uncle Toms in their ranks to say 'hey, we have minorities, too," but the group is controlled by racist white scum. The Minutemen are supported by racists like Michael Savage and Mark Williams, who regularly call Arabs and Muslims "sub-humans."
In fact, radio talk show host Mark Williams, who the Sacramento Branch of the NAACP and host of other groups have called for the firing of, is the MC of this event! Any person of color who supports the Minutemen should be ashamed of themselves - they are willing participants in a white supremistic xenophobic organization and should be exposed for the lowlifes that they are!
We should deport Minutemen and the Bush-ites, not undocumented workers! The Minutemen and their supporters are not welcome in Sacramento!

HELLO! DID WE FORGET ABOUT THE HOMELESS? DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO SIT AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CROSS THE BORDER SO YOU CAN RUN AND CRY TO THE BORDER PATROL THAT SOMEONE IS COMING OVER THE BORDER TO DO A JOB THAT YOU PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY CAN'T AND WON'T DO BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO BUSY SITTING YOUR LAZY ASSES ON THE BORDER BEING LITTLE SNICHES (AND YOU KNOW WHAT SNICHES GET). DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL IMMAGRANTS AND THAT THIS LAND ACCTUALLY BELONGS TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOURSELF AND DO SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH YOU LIVES INSTEAD OF TRYING TO RUIN OTHER LIVES WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO HELP! I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE RACISTS IF YOU WERE NOT THEN YOU SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT BE FEELING SO STRONGLY ABOUT CLOSING THE BORDER. IF ANY OF YOU PEOPLE HAD A FAMILY TO FEED AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT WAS TO CROSS THE BORDER I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD LET YOUR FAMILY DIE (OR WOULD YOU)? THESE PEOPLE WORK THEIR ASSES OFF!!!! UNLIKE YOU STUPID ASS PEOPLE WHO WASTE YOUR DAYS SITTING WITH YOUR LAWN CHAIR ON THE BORDER SIPPING YOU LEMONADE! YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK! GROW THE FUCK UP!!!!!
As a hispanic born in the USA, I see the Minutemen as a symptom of the absolutely powerless INS and Washington administration to do anything what so ever to deal with illegal immigration.
Are they wrong? I don't think so. Our systems are now so overburdened with illigal immigrants that they may be irrepairable. How many billions of dollars are sent to other countries to facilitate life for people who don't even contribute to the system here?
What has happened to entire neighborhoods when live and let live has been allowed, they become festering areas of crime, gangs, and urban blight.
Perhaps those that are so willing to condemn the Minutemen should each take in an illigal immigrant family to feed, house, and otherwise take care of, that way, the government doesn't have to do it.
The unbelieveable naivety of some people is laughable.

IMMIGRANTS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE NOT CRIMINALS! AND AS I MAY REMIND YOU THE SOUTHWEST USED TO BELONG TO MEXICO, AND AS I WELL REMEMBER ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE ARE IMMIGRANTS AS WELL AT LEAST MEXICANS CROSS A RIVER NOT AN OCEAN! SO BEFORE YOU START CRITIZIZING I'D CHECK WHERE YOU CAME FOM YOU LITTLE RACIST OVERFED WHITE ASS
