Minutemen Commence 10-Mile Fence Near Palominas, AZ - May 29, 2006

I and about 200 other Minutemen, along with press and keynote speakers Alan Keyes (presidential candidate - 1996), Don Goldwater (candidate for governor, Arizona), and Congressman Steve King (R- Iowa), amongst others commenced operations in the building of a 10-mile steel-rail and barbed wire fence near Palominas, AZ. This is the beginning of what is anticipated to be a 70-mile fence separating all of Cochise County from Mexico, and with our efforts, all 1952 miles of southern border.

The first-day mission included the building of a 150-foot-long steel rail fence, with posts about 15-feet high, and the keynote speakers and myself raising the first ceremonial pole while cementing in place and singing "God Bless America". There are now two of these fences separated by about 15 feet, where our cameras will be mounted in the middle facing along the fencing itself, and signals transmitted about 10 miles away to a house in Palominas. The fence also extended well over 1/4 mile to the east after the many volunteers were able to help construct 6-foot-high barbed wire fencing after about 2 hours work. We will return to Palominas in the next few weeks to demonstrate the cameras and possibly plant for permanent operation.

We invite you to visit BorderFenceProject.com as your help and donations are greatly appreciated in our drive to help meet our goals. Thank you for reading and being a part of our unprecedented mission.

Sincerely,

Jim Wood
