Build The Wall GoFundMe

[sc281]

Has raised over $3 million in 3 days. It's a legit campaign for a legit triple amputee veteran with a verified Facebook.

More info on it in the link

I put in $100, and will do a lot more if Trump tweets about it.

Even if this goes nowhere, it makes a statement.

If people care about something, in this case immigration and the wall, enough that they are willing to raise many millions of dollars of their own money for it - and their government representatives STILL choose to ignore them - how long after that until We The People revoke our consent to be governed?

In the long run, I almost think it would be better if they did ignore it and us. It could turn out to be the establishment's "Let them eat frijoles" moment.

Even if we raised 30 billion dollars through this GoFundMe the government cannot legally accept the money and build a wall with it.

He addresses that in the description if you read.

It's been done before with private donations for public works, such as the restoration of the Washington Monument.

He says 100% of the money will go towards the wall... how much does GoFundMe keep?
