Judge Hendren:                                                           February 20, 2007

I am taking the liberty of faxing you some of my research on the BATFE.  Perhaps you are aware of this particular data; however it would be my hope that you are not; since this organization is irreversibly criminally corrupt and employs measures which are reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Please pay particular note to paragraph 11 of the article.

It has become more than obvious that the Federal Justice Department is a product of instability and obfuscation and this indeed is unsettling to say the least.  This is the case when an innocent American citizen is at the butt end of a federal assault.

If Hollis Wayne Fincher was in fact guilty of any crime, would not a simple knock on the door and a discussion or legal debate solve the concerns of the Feds since he had a one on one relationship with local and county law enforcement officers?  At the same time would have eliminated the brutality that the Fincher’s were and are undergoing.  Not to mention the taxpayers’ money and the eight agencies involved in this witch hunt.

Do you not think that the above mentioned resources could not have been better utilized in rounding up gang members of MS-13, Los Zetas, etc., etc., etc….illegals and those who employ them?  Bentonville Police Chief Allen “didn’t think his city had a gang problem until recently”.  Just how out of touch are these law enforcement agencies, or are they?

Why was Fincher ensnared under the $500,000 Project Safe Neighborhoods program when there is an obvious criminal gang problem?

I met Hollis Wayne Fincher only once, on a Friday evening in August of ’06 at the Militia Headquarters on Black Oak Road at Fincher’s request to tell them of my time spent on the border last year in the Minuteman Project. I found him to be a kind, interesting, articulate, patriotic human being and we share the same serious concerns pertaining to the direction this Republic is headed, i.e. to a Constitutional abyss.

Judge, who are the real enemies of this Republic? Do you really believe the Washington County Militia is a threat to society?

Hopefully you will utilize this information in your decision making process.
