Dear Gilchrist for Congress Supporters:
?
Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath are revealing to our fellow Americans, and indeed to the whole world, human greatness yoked to terrible weaknesses and moral decay within our great nation. Along with the inspiring and extraordinary acts of heroism, personal courage and sacrifice we are witnessing by many of our fellow citizens, we are also tragically watching our country?s political institutions, our people?s moral fiber, and most vividly, our allegiance to the principle of the rule of law?clearly beginning to fray and rend under the terrible stress of Katrina?s devastation.

But we have known for some time that our national capacity for goodness and greatness as a people has been under assault. Now we see how insufficient has been our national response to the political and moral crisis that has been building for years.
?
We need new citizen commitment to keep America strong and decent. We need new leadership that is not afraid of polls, not afraid of mainstream media ridicule, not afraid to stand in the gap against tides?even masses and mobs?of humanity who have lost respect for the duties of citizenship and civilization.
?
Now is the hour for Patriots, for loyal and patriotic Americans to step forward. America is a nation of laws, not of men. Lawlessness?or casual regard for human worth and the institutions of society?will not prevail.
?
Please find below an important message from my fellow Minutemen at Minuteman HQ. They have a crucial security border alert for you in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

I ask you sincerely to take a few moments to read this very important message, and reflect not only on the heart-breaking situation we must relieve in the hurricane zone, but the challenge before our nation to respond for the future, so that we the people of the United States NEVER AGAIN find ourselves so weak and inadequate to a great crisis. I pray that you will help our Minutemen, and that you will continue to help my campaign for Congress, in these hours of America?s need.
?
Thank you, and God Bless America.

SPECIAL DISASTER ALERT: The Minutemen Civil Defense Corps has started our “Secure Our Borders” operation EARLY to aid Border Patrol helping with Katrina relief… which means we need YOUR help NOW. CLICK HERE to Contribute!
?
According to the Department of Homeland Security, more than 100 U.S. Border Patrol Agents have been reassigned from Arizona and New Mexico to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Already, CBP agents are en route to the affected area to provide security and law enforcement support during the evacuation of the Super Dome.
?
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps deployed volunteers to the border today in order to fill gaps in border security as the U.S. Border Patrol was reassigned to disaster relief duty.
?
Due to the mounting crisis, U.S. Border Patrol officers are being shifted away from their posts guarding the US-Mexico border to aid in the Hurricane Katrina disaster, leaving our country vulnerable to increased trafficking by illegal aliens and terrorists attempting to enter the U.S.
?
Martial Law has been declared in the disaster stricken areas, and the Border Patrol along with thousands of National Guard personnel have been mobilized to enforce the rule of law. As a result, we’ve decided to push up our launch date of our “Secure Our Borders” operation, which had been scheduled to begin in October, so that Minuteman volunteers can be immediately deployed to the southern border with Mexico to assist with border security.
?
According to a report from Homeland Security, the Bush administration ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the federal agency charged with securing the border, to provide manpower, assets, and humanitarian support to Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, which understandably has some border state residents nervous about the lack of border security.
?
We’ve requested that Minuteman volunteers and supporters aid in the effort by donating to worthy relief agencies, but we’ve also told volunteers to only travel to the area with authorized disaster assistance organizations to assist with any search and rescue or law enforcement duties. We’re mobilizing volunteers RIGHT NOW to stand in the breach along our border?a breach that has now opened wider, due to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
?
While the federal government is responding to the natural disaster and its aftermath of lawlessness and human suffering, we will assist by sending Minuteman volunteers to protect and defend our Border line in assistance to an already understaffed and embattled U.S. Border Patrol.
?
Our nation needs our help now more than ever, and we are prepared to serve honorably during a time of crisis.
?
WILL YOU HELP? While we certainly encourage donations to worthy relief organizations, NOW is the time when we need help in order to “pick up the slack” as more than 100 U.S. Border Patrol Agents have been reassigned from Arizona and New Mexico to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

?
We weren’t expecting this sudden need. There’s no way to plan for such a time as this?but nevertheless, we MUST take action now. We can’t leave our borders unprotected?but having to start our operation early means we’re having to start without having all of the funds in place that we planned for.
?
The Border Patrol Agents are headed for New Orleans, so we’re headed for the Border. Can you help us in our efforts to “Secure Our Borders”? We need you NOW. Thank you.
?
Sincerely,
??
Chris Simcox, Founder
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps

Go to the right and donate to the Red Cross.
I got that email, too. That’s what’s important to Keyes?
As I said in the Blog Saint Louis side, Habitat for Humanity and The Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundationwould be better choices for donations.
Gov. Blanco created The Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation in response to the Feds pressuring her to cede control of the recovery to the Feds. Unfortunately, the American Red Cross is essentially under federal control.
Sorry I can’t find any links right now.
