From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: APRIL 3, 1993 Today, in Waco, about two
hundred people appeared as the unarmed militia to show
support for the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. The
initially assembled at the 340 Loop and FM 2491, which is
the main checkpoint and the only access to the media
center (Satellite City). About 12:30 PM an exodus to a
dirt road near Elk, which is about 2 miles east of the
Church complex, resulted in over one hundred people who
eventually strung themselves out over nearly a mile and
caused, perhaps, 60 BATF, FBI, Sheriff's Deputies, State
Troopers, Texas Rangers and even Waco police to maintain
a barrier of armed manpower against the unarmed peace and
justice seekers. There would have been more peace seekers
had the State Troopers not barricaded the road in to the
area in which this effort was made. Many were turned
back, but the: event was, perhaps, the most demonstrative
of the feelings of many that we have seen to date.
Attached to this release is an agreement. I had hoped
that David Koresh would be able to execute this on his
own behalf, however the FBI has refused me access to him
since March 9, when he first assigned the Power of
Attorney and requested that I be allowed to enter the
complex to meet with him.
The agreement is the first part of a two part solution
to the Waco siege. The FBI continues to deny me access to
Mr. Koresh. Therefore, the second part to the peaceful
solution will have to wait until the FBI realizes that
until somebody who understands life the way David does
will be able to communicate with him, and, that the FBI,
in their dictatorial and arbitrary manner, will never
accomplish the task by peaceful means (perhaps they don't
want that).
I hope that all recipients of the attached agreement
will provide support by fax transmission to APFN at (702)
369-8101) as soon as possible. Daily retransmission will
be made to appropriate authorities to indicate the will
of the people in this matter.
If there are any that feel that the agreement, as
presented, is not fair to all parties, we would
appreciate your comments via the same route.
The BATF is coming under attack in Washington for the
administration of this debacle. Perhaps this armed tax
collection agency has created its own demise. We can only
hope that this is the beginning of a reformation to the
noble experiment that was begun 217 years ago. When this
mess at Waco is over we must not just sit back
complacently and assume that we can let our guard down.
There is more to be done, but, the task is begun, and
will continue until those original Freedoms and Liberties
are again our birthright.
