The first item is today's news. The 2nd item is from July, when the previous head of this same chapter quit, citing racism. While the items say activities on the border are scheduled for October, they are actually commencing activities on September 16th, otherwise known as Diez y seis de septiembre, a major Mexican holiday, which the head claims to be TOTALLY a coincidence, a matter of his flight possibilities from Arizona. In a radio interview this Al GARZA also responded to a listener's question that he DOES conduct a census of members to determine who is a Nazi, who is a Skinhead, who is a regular 'murican----thus confirming that these a-holes ARE participating in this a-hole group.

The Goliad chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps of Texas will not conduct activities in this area as part of a major border observation event scheduled for October.
"There won't be anything here in the Goliad area specifically other than what we do just on a daily basis," said Kenneth Buelter, chapter president. Those daily activities amount to the vigilance maintained by any neighborhood watch, he said.
In October, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps of Texas plans to conduct a massive border observation effort along the U.S.-Mexico border, said Al Garza, president of the organization.

Minutemen head quits, cites racism in group National leaders say plans to patrol Houston still on
By EDWARD HEGSTROM

The head of the Texas Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has quit, saying he has been
unable to overcome racism among members in Goliad.
National leaders say the resignation of Bill Parmley won't have any effect on the planned actions targeting illegal immigrants in Houston and other Texas cities this October. ....
Parmley said he has become concerned that some of the Minuteman activists in his region have a vendetta against the Goliad County sheriff, who is Hispanic.
He asserted they also have made
comments about shooting illegal immigrants or letting them die from dehydration. ....
