'Minuteman Project' reboots, recruits volunteers to patrol US-Mexico border

'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...' ~ Second Amendment

'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects...' ~ Fourth Amendment
HELL YES! About time...
Breitbart: The Minuteman Project, the "citizens' Neighborhood Watch on our border," began recruiting volunteers on Monday morning for "Operation Normandy," a new citizen effort to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border.

Jim Gilchrist, co-founder and president of the Minuteman Project, posted a message on the group's website outlining the operation, saying he expects "at least 3,500 non-militia volunteers to participate, plus uncounted groups of militias from all over the country." The message reads:
If you are familiar with the Normandy invasion of France in 1944, then you have an idea how large and logistically complicated this event will be. However, there is one difference. We are not going to the border to invade anyone. We are going there to stop an invasion.

Our federal, state, and community governments have failed to address and fix this calamity. In the spirit of our nation's Founding Fathers, it is once again time to bring unprecedented national awareness to the decades-long illegal alien crisis jeopardizing the United States.

(Original emphasis) Participation is open to everyone and there is only one rule: whatever you do, stay within the rule of law.
The ONLY unfortunate problem?
Gilchrist wrote in his message that the operation will require 10 months to organize, and he set a date of May 1, 2015, for the operation's start date.
Here's hoping that it happens A LOT sooner.
