Good point! And I hope people will get a little federal budget math lesson from this.
Currently the total at the GFM is nearly $5M. That's a huge response for 3 days. But it translates to only 0.5% of the $1B goal.
When Congress authorizes $10.5B to help the economies of Central America (rots o' ruck with THAT!) and doesn't cough up $5B for NATIONAL SECURITY, we can see how POORLY they represent the will of the people.
We are a sovereign Nation and the response to this GoFundMe effort has been overwhelming. Sure! the GFM is a long way from reaching the goal - but that's the math lesson.
It's not so much about the dollars raised though. It's more about the enthusiastic response (people actually giving money, not just blowing smoke) and the rapid growth of the fund. The rate of participation is accelerating. More and more people are making a CLEAR STATEMENT of their intent to protect the border - and their disappointment in the politician's failure to do so.
Please consider giving to this! (and pass the word!)
BINGO
