I wouldn't worry about Hillary. She's getting old and she's not in good health anyway.

She should be worrying more about Judgment Day than cash. Same for Wild Willie.

"The Iceman Cometh." Even for Hill and Bill.

ABSOLUTELY. Been preaching this ten years. This is how the Dems are winning. They target organized funds in mass at one important item at a time no matter where it might be and overwhelm the opposition. We should have been doing the same years ago. Look at how easy that actually was.

If it gets the attention of the politicians, it’s done it’s job. It also gets people involved in the fight.

Yep... And there are those who fear this concept and how fast it happened. This has teeth, there is power in this, money talks.

Brian Kolfage himself says on his GoFundMe page:

• If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny. We are working on a time frame to achieve.

Trump just donated his salary to restoring national cemeteries. A man donated 12 million to restore Wash. monument. There are ways.

Subject to biased reporting, Goodlatte needs to be hit up side the head to change his attitude - he should be working on how to accept and use this money, not how it is a problem.

The land is not an issue and hasn’t been since the Bush presidency. It’s just a mater of USING IT FOR THE PURPOSE IT WAS ALLOCATED

“Obviously, we can’t let citizens raise money and say, ‘The government will spend my money on this purpose.’ ” Why not?

Goodlatte has forgotten about, “of the people, by the people, for the people.”

Boy, the Establishment nixed this. The rate of funds coming in has slowed down a lot. Good job Establishment.

We have no power, no self rule. no say on governance. We are living in tyranny.

if goodlatte is correct, that private citizens can’t donate to federal projects without congressional authorization, then i want my wwii memorial donation back, with interest. maybe he could pay me personally from his own pocket. that would make me a believer in what he is saying.

i watched goodlatte at some of the committee hearings this past year and he seemed well-intentioned, but feeble and forgetful.

Instead of asking fir 5 billion, they should ask for 5 million and allow private funds to fund it perhaps by a bond raising program

Let the Democrats shut down the government over that proposal then since they can,t hide behind it’s a waste of tax payers money BS

But Congress can take your money at gunpoint and use it to pay for abortions and all sorts of immoral shenanigans. Pay off mistresses. Pay off abused congressional staffers. Etc.
