Patriots' Border Alliance

OPERATION: ICE STORM
THREE POINTS, ARIZONA
January 11th-13th, 2008

Being only 7 months old now, we are enjoying success beyond our imagination, and it is fully credited to the PBA Minuteman Volunteer. Without your support and dedication to our mission, our efforts would go without notice. Since being asked by many Minutemen this past Spring to form a border watch group, we have performed one weekend and one 30 Day Muster in Palominas Arizona and New Mexico. We have stood in protest and supported the ongoing events at Pruitts Furniture Store in Phoenix, and we continue to be active and help stop illegal immigration across the land.

Welcome to the first PBA border operation for 2008! PBA requests your participation to help observe and report to US Border Patrol, while standing new posts for PBA in the Three Points area. While the rest of the Nation is digging out of snow drifts, and deciding who to support for President; the Minutemen of PBA will be once again back on post.

AZ STATE LAND USE PERMIT:

PBA asks that its Minutemen Volunteers have in their possession an Arizona State Land Use Permit. The cost is $15 annually. You may obtain one by visiting http://www.land.state.az.us/programs/natural/recreation_permit.htm You will be responsible for having this document if the need arises, PBA will not inspect your Permit. Having an Arizona hunting or fishing license does not negate the need to have this Permit. Our operations will be on private AND other land.

WEAPONS:

Sidearms are allowed. No longarms will be permitted. All sidearms must remain holstered at all times. We do not ‘show and tell’ and we do not remove to clean. Arms are always holstered and remain so unless defense of life is required, per Arizona law. Violation of this will result in removal from the operation. Arizona allows for concealed carry of firearms. For those that have a Concealed Carry License recognized by Arizona, you are welcome to carry as such.

We hope that you will help PBA kick-off the New Year by taking a post! See you on the border!
