WE CAN GIVE THE FUNDS TO THE GOVT!! we need HR 7207 lumped in with Gov Funding Bill! CONTACT YOUR REPS NOW INFORM EVERYONE
I spoke to Rep Warren Davidson and the bill is ready but will only work if passed now with funding bill before Dems take control.

H.R. 7207 - To allow the Secretary of the Treasury to accept public donations to fund the construction of a barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico and for other purposes.
PPPPPPP. How is it that something like this is only brought forward at the last minute?
” Introduced: 2018-11-30 “
Why not make this a blanket to cover anything approved already?
Raised by 213,823 people in 4 days
Why not 2017?
“H.R. 7207 - To allow the Secretary of the Treasury to accept public donations to fund the construction of a barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico and for other purposes.”
Yep. Congress authorization needed. If not approved by Congress then no dice.
It is a bit late to be modifying the bill that the house already passed. If you modify the bill then the house would have to vote again.
Trump needs to support this bill and make this about the shutdown.......
if he would agree to reduce the tax payer expense for the wall form 5 billion to something lower in exchange for this bill
The Dims will no longer have cover to say its a waste of tax payer money...since a chunk of it wold be funded by private donations
agree to HR7207 or shut down it down
some form of a spending bill will likely go back to the house anyway before this is over
Why not Nov. 5, 2014 ?
it will be interesting to hear Flake’s rationale for voting against this bill.
I know liberals whose Christmas gifts to their family members is a donation to their favorite leftist charity in the name of the family member.
In the spirit of Christmas what is stopping us from making a $5.00 donation to Build The Wall in the name of our leftie family members?
The GoFundMe people say that they will refund any such donations done in other peoples’ names. It’s their policy.............
This Gofundme always struck me as weird.
You can give the government money to build a wall. That doesn’t mean they’ll do it.
They don’t want to do it.
All three of my reps are libs:(
““H.R. 7207 - To allow the Secretary of the Treasury to accept public donations to fund the construction of a barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico and for other purposes.” The Democrats will not pass this but any money raised can be used to support the private companies doing the work as they precede. It can be used to build temporary housing for workers. It can be used to fund security services to guard the safety of the workers, prevent theft and stop sabotage. I’m sure there are other uses as well. We can just step around the problem.
ALLOW SECRETARY OF TREASURER TO ACCEPT THE MONEY DONATED FOR A WALL????
WILL GO TO GENERAL FUND AND LIBERALS WILL SPEND IT...
RETURN THE MONEY TO THE ONES WHO DONATED...ENOUGH SAID.
