TOMBSTONE - At least 50 people were expected, but only a handful of would-be-militia volunteers showed up for the first organizational meeting of the fledgling Civil Homeland Defense here yesterday.

The low turnout did not disappoint or deter the group's principal organizer, Tombstone Tumbleweed editor and publisher Chris Simcox, who used the meeting to lambaste the federal government for failing to control what he termed an "invasion" of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. from Mexico through Southern Arizona.

He was particularly critical of members of the Arizona congressional delegation who took a helicopter tour of the border last week, but ignored his request for a meeting.

Simcox said a number of people opted not to attend the meeting because they did not want to expose themselves to ridicule and slander on the part of the media.

He said the organization has 43 core members who have participated in patrol operations, and that about 50 more have provided contact information.

He said the community service organization will operate in a manner consistent with President Bush's ongoing call for citizen volunteers to aid the national defense effort.
