today's Birmingham News quoted in entirety:

DEES WARNS U.S. OF CITIZEN MILITIAS

The Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery says it is alarmed by the
growing number of "citizen militias" in the country and has asked the
Justice Department to be on the alert. 

Morris Dees, founder of the group, said in a letter to Attorney General
Janet Reno that there are "unauthorized militias" in 18 states, and it may
be as high as 30. He added that in six of the states - Montana, Colorado,
Nevada, Idaho, Florida, and Texas - the leadership of militia groups has
been built around known white supremecists. 

"The mixture of armed groups with those who hate is a recipe for
disaster", he wrote. 

Dees warned in his letter: "We have also received reports that the active
duty military personnel as well as National Guardsmen may be assisting
some of the newly formed militias." He said the groups developed rapidly
in recent months, apparently in response to laws restricting sales of some
firearms.

Wow, the Democratic News Media Machine is definitely in gear for the
elections. You see it everywhere. They are worried. The above is very
interesting: just alarming the Demos to get out and vote? pushing an
agenda? or real fear? (i don't think so.) 

VOTE!!   VOTE!!! VOTE!!! If you don't, then go hide in a hole for the rest
of your life (this message from my wife.)
Peace,

Don't tread on me.       Long live John Hiatt!
