We The People are taking this GoFundMe very seriously!
Since our lawmakers will never come to an agreement on border wall funding, Americans are doing it themselves. The “We The People Will Fund The Wall” campaign started just three days ago, but it has already amassed over $3.8 million! (As of 10:05 am ET.)
Awesome, right? I’m seeing donations of $50, $100, $20, $25, $5– it all counts!
Like Brian Kolfage said, if every single one of the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump donated $80, we’d have enough to build the wall.
I know many people have tons of questions. For those who have concerns about the money being directed to the right place, this is for you:
• How will we get the funds to the right place? We have contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all funds will go upon completion. When get this information secured we will update. We have many very high level contacts already helping.
• Republican Representative Steven Palazzo of Mississippi is introducing legislation to direct the Treasury Department to issue government savings bonds which would allow us to fund the wall this method. This is just one option, there are others on the table being discussed.
• 100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall. If for ANY reason we don’t reach our goal we will refund your donation.
• We are working with a law firm on a legal document that will bind the government to using the funds for the border wall itself, nothing else.
• We will hold all funds and not release a single penny until we have all legal aspects covered to ensure our money goes only to the wall.
• If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny.
They’ve created a Facebook page for more convenient updates. You can find that here.
I can’t wait to see what the numbers look like at the end of the day. We’ll post an update for sure.
