Triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage of Florida has decided that if the government isn’t going to do their job to keep America safe by securing the border, then he will.
But not alone, of course.
Kolfage has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the U.S.-Mexico border wall that President Trump promised to build during his presidential campaign, but unfortunately, has hit a snag with getting it funded.
What’s truly insane about all of this is how much money Kolfage has managed to raise in just three days. You ready for this? He’s raised $400,000. Yowza.
Kolfage created the campaign on Sunday, which is titled “We the People Will Fund the Wall.”
The crowdfunding goal is $1 billion to help fund President Donald Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall — one of the president’s original campaign tent poles and a point of contention on both sides of the aisle.
Kolfage page states that “[i]t’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.”
“If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall,” Kolfage continues. “That equates to roughly $5 billion, even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this.”
Kolfage adds that as a triple-amputee veteran with a family of his own, he feels it’s important to “ensure future generations have everything [U.S. citizens] have today.”
“As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today,” he writes. “Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society.”
Kolfage says that Democrats will stall the U.S-Mexico border wall “by every means possible” and will “play political games to ensure President Trump doesn’t get his victory.”
“They’d rather see President Trump fail than see America succeed,” he adds, calling the wall “our duty as citizens,” and compares it to the WWII generation raising war bonds.
“[If] we can fund a large portion of this wall, it will jumpstart things and will be less money Trump has to secure from our politicians.”
The crowdfunding page has now been shared on Facebook over 100,000 times as of the writing of the original source quoted above, and has been receiving donations by the minute. In fact, one donation alone was $5,000.
Now, what the left will want you to believe about this project is that, at it’s core, it’s racist. Folks want to keep out Mexicans because they hate the “brown man,” but that’s simply not true at all.
FWIW they're back on the GoFundMe home page's top fudraisers.
The SJWs will shit down gofundme.com.
Count on it.
Both are gorgeous !
Ah, but the real point is that every dollar donated is a vote against the Democrats open-border bull-bleep.
Brilliant!
How all government funding should work.
Almost 1 million a few hours ago.
What angers me is that we already had money taken from us by the government to build the wall.
btt
Trump needs to order the DoJ to direct that ALL drug seizure and human trafficking funds ,which have been already seized and which are sitting in vast warehouses ; BILLION Of U.S. cash $’s , be used for the Wall building projects . That he order that any and ALL legal challenges , appeals , or court ordered stays , or injunctions , be 100% annulled , with prejudice . Order that THOSE funds be immediately used .
Stop pussy-footing around .....Just DO IT
$1,023,693
Unfortunately the Constitution bars him from doing that...............
+++++++
Nice looking family.
You said it. Investigate. Someone needs to oversee this, totally irreproachably trustworthy.This profoundly disabled vet could not possibly handle it all. SO-—when news of this gets to Schumer, Pelosi and Co. I wonder what they’ll say? It would seem Trump has no option but to accept it. He will be tweeting soon if he hasn’t already. This whole thing puts the Dems between a rock and a hard place-—while they’re used to gobs of money flowing their way, THIS is a whole different animal, and they could feel it like the opening salvo in a New Civil War. Closing the border would choke off all the new “constituents” they are counting on to solidify the power they dearly hope will grow and keep growing. Actually, this being funded by the Trump voters always seemed to me to be the obvious way to do it.
Our military to the tune of billions wasted sits in the Middle East and protect Arabs...
While we’re suppose to have bake sales to raise money to protect our borders..
Donated.
An update says that they hope to be on Laura Ingraham’s show tonight.
Oh, that guy....
While we're suppose to have bake sales to raise money to protect our own borders..
Wow!
