Time to Bitch-Slap the ACLU

HT to BobG at Sweet Spirits of Ammonia for this one:


The American Civil Liberties Union will train volunteers to monitor the Minuteman project along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas and New Mexico, and document any abuses of human rights or violence, said Claudia Guevara, a coordinator for the ACLU's Legal Observers program in El Paso.

El Paso County Sheriff Leo Samaniego and other sheriff's officials met Friday with Minuteman organizers who requested the meeting, said Rick Glancey, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

"Sheriff Samaniego characterized the meeting as positive," Glancey said. He added that organizers were advised in writing of Texas laws they must observe, and were told to call 911 if they encounter situations that require law enforcement.

"The message they conveyed is that they believe the Border Patrol is doing a great job, but they don't have the resources they need to do what is required to secure the border," said Glancey, who did not know which Minuteman organization met with Samaniego.

TrekMedic's Musings:
Am I the only one who notices in the sidebar, there's only info on how to join the ACLU's watchdog group, or Vigilante Watch (their homepage is a bunch of laugh-inducing BS), but not how to contact the MMP?

Thanks for broadcasting this. In my rather lengthy post, I did mention the ACLU ad and left a link for the Minuteman site.
Anyway, the more we can put the spotlight on blatant bias like this the better chance we have of balanced reporting.
