HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — The second largest donation to a GoFundMe page to fund President Donald Trump’s border wall comes from a Holland company.

The “We the People Will Fund the Wall” GoFundMe page has a goal of raising $1 billion dollars to help pay for the border wall. The veteran who started the page says if every person who voted for Trump donates $80, the wall would be paid for.

Holland-based Fortress Stabilization Systems donated $12,000 to the fundraising page, second only to an anonymous donor’s contribution of $50,000.

“It’s a legitimate cause,” said Ed Wheatley, who owns Fortress Stabilization Systems....

Remember the microscopic inspection of donors to the GoFundMe page for Christine Blasey Ford? Neither do I.

The thugs in DC and their boys in the press give passes to liberals... 'cause they're biased unfair and total jerks.

I don’t participate in #GoFundMe. Do they normally list who the donors are?

pointless exercise ... there is no way to get this money to build a wall or any thing else because it is not specifically earmarked ... it will just go to the general fund and be used to pay down US debt.

Has symbolic value only.

West Michigan is awesome like that.

And Ottawa county is more conservative than Utah.

I may do a 2nd donation myself in support.

How ‘bout the money goes to form a citizens posse group to patrol the border and publicly badger state, local and fed agencies with complaints about illegals.

Not really. If there is a rancher or some other private citizen who wants a wall on their land that borders the border, that money can be used there.

I hope everyone here can match or beat our $100 in the next 24 hours as an amputee veteran.

Ottawa county is/was the most heavily voter ID’d Republican county in the USA last time I checked. I was the Ottawa county Donald Trump for President campaign chairman in 2016. It was a pleasure trouncing Hildabeast.

• How will we get the funds to the right place? We have contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all the funds will go upon completion. When we get this information secured we will update. We have many very high level contacts already helping.

• Republican Representative Representative Warren Davidson has bill on the table right now HR 7207 that if passed with Gov Funding bill we can give the funds towards the wall, and with our contractual guarantee to only be used on the wall.

• Rep Andy Harris Introduced the Border Wall Bonds Act of 2018, if passed with the Gov Funding bill it will allow us to donate towards the wall.
this Act funds only for the construction of the wall, nothing else.

• 100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall.

• 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.

Nice idea but you guys should have looked into the whole how do we get it there problem in the first place ... not well thought out.

If your House bill does not get passed before the 7th its dead. If it passes before the 7th, its dead in the Senate.

You will be either giving the money to the General Fund to buy down the national debt or refunding it entirely. It cannot go to the Wall in any way shape or form. That would be against Federal law and the Dems would stop in in any case. Please be more realistic it what will happen.

Had you crossed your tees and dotted your eyes to begin with, you likely would have had far more money by now.
