    Official Statement from Chris Simcox



    Shawna Forde registered to become a volunteer with MCDC in July of 2006.
    Never having cleared her probationary period, she was constantly found to be
    trouble; unbecoming behaviors included, deception, holding unauthorized
    meetings and promoting herself as a chapter director and spokesperson for
    the organization without authorization. She even convinced national leaders
    that she had been "drafted" by volunteers in her area to be the new
    Washington State Director. After less than 6 frustrating months she was
    terminated in February, 2007. Concerned with Forde's bizarre behaviors, our
    Washington and Arizona State leadership teams reported to and worked
    cooperatively with law enforcement in Washington and Arizona. The other
    individuals involved in the criminal incident were never registered
    volunteers of MCDC and had no affiliation with our organization.

    Forde formed her own small group and forged an alliance with Jim Gilchrist
    and the Minuteman Project.

    In the spring of 2008, Forde visited our MCDC headquarters camp in
    California unannounced and was given a "tour" by a caretaker who had no idea
    who she was. Forde then moved to Arizona and in October was doing a "media
    tour" near Three Points, Arizona and attempted to forge a new working
    relationship, we refused and she continued to infiltrate other groups
    including the Patriots Border Alliance another group of malcontents who were
    terminated from MCDC and formed their own group.

    Border Patrol and Pima County Sheriffs were notified and we shared our
    concerns about Forde and the PBA and other individuals who were working
    together in close proximity to MCDC operations. We shared our concerns with
    law enforcement that both groups were not operating under the same strict
    standard operating procedures employed by MCDC.

    MCDC leadership followed our pro law enforcement pledge and civic duty to
    reporting suspicious behaviors of all worrisome individuals to the proper
    authorities.



    PAC

    The Minuteman PAC, led by Executive Director Brett Farley is supported and
    endorsed by MCDC.

    I, Chris Simcox, founder of MCDC was the Minuteman PAC spokesperson. I had
    to give up that role after announcing as a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

    I personally have stumped for, campaigned for, recorded radio spots and robo
    calls for and filmed TV commercials for dozens of state and federal
    candidates that were endorsed and supported by the Minuteman PAC.

    The same is true for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps PAC.

    Gilchrist and Eichler, immediately after hearing of my senate campaign
    rushed out and started a Minuteman Freedom PAC.

    I contacted legal counsel and learned there is nothing I can do to stop them
    from promoting my campaign on their website nor can I stop them from
    fundraising using my name.

    All we can do is let folks know that this is a Gilchrist/Eichler ruse and a
    scam and tell folks not to donate to it. I seriously doubt I will ever see
    any funding from it - and would not accept any - and I never anticipate that
    they will use funds raised on independent expenditure campaigns to help me
    in any way.

    Hope that clears it up for you and please feel free to distribute this far
    and wide as my official statement.

    Message from Chris Simcox

    I want everyone to know I just got off the phone with Eric Johnson of the Simcox for Senate campaign. He apologized for the statement made by Simcox and assured me that it was done without the approval of any of the professional staff around him. He also thanked me for the very positive public statements made by Jim in regards to the Simcox campaign, as well as to the proactive positive things that some of us have already done for Simcox.

    I accepted his apology, thanked him for his comments, and we both agreed that it is the issue of border security and immigration reform that were of the utmost importance to America, not any past petty personal matters. Together we can all achieve more than we ever can apart.

    I hope we all now put this behind us, do not talk about it again, and move forward together.

    Sounds like politics alright,

    Sure glad I won't have to vote in this election. The players all seem to be amnesty tools thus far. Is there still time for another candidate to emerge?
