I'm no fan of any part of the anti-immigrant movement, but if they're prepared to clean house, I'll be glad to applaud them for doing it. Again, I'm posting a little more than the usual limit and hope the mods accept it:

Minuteman Project (ongoing fraud and destructive, unstable behavior)
Jim Gilchrist, Laguna Niguel, CA - A rogue, failed leader of his Minuteman Project. He has filed and lost numerous false lawsuits against anti-illegal immigration leaders and groups. Exiled and isolated by all mainstream Minuteman and Patriot groups nationwide in 2007. Gilchrist admitted in several media interviews in 2008 that some members of his small MMP group are racist, violent, and have criminal and questionable pasts. His border director Shawna Forde recently called for assualt rifles at the border in AZ where she claims that she is battling drug cartels. Here is an article published about her ongoing legal troubles in Everett, WA on 2-22-08:
http://www.alipac.us/ftopicp-853938.html#853938 . Gilchrist then published a statement on his website pledging full support for Forde. Minuteman Project is NOT affiliated with the mainstream Minuteman movement or any other Minuteman groups. MMP is mostly a fundraising group and does not conduct border operations or any other major events.
"Perry Emerson" - Alias used by Jim Gilchrist to attack other groups and Patriots. Gilchrist has released false press releases under this fake name, including a PR for Mike Huckabee when he was running for President.

Shawna Forde - MMP Border Director. Unstable, criminal past, non-cooperative with police investigations in Everett, WA. Spends much of her time on AZ border with her group Minuteman American Defense investigating and confronting drug smugglers. Extremely dangerous tactics. Stay away from her border operations.
