GoFundMe for border wall raises more than $2M in just 3 days

A supporter of President Trump’s border wall proposal has started a GoFundMe to help pay for the project — and the fund skyrocketed to more than $2 million on Wednesday night after being live for just three days.
Brian Kolfage, a Trump voter and disabled Iraq War veteran with no connection to the administration, wrote that he set up the page because “President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.”
Trump campaigned on building a “great wall” on the southern border during the 2016 presidential election.
As the end of Trump’s second year in office comes to a close, his administration has not built the wall or secured funds for it — and a budget proposal passed Wednesday by the Senate did not fulfill Trump’s call to provide funds for it.
Kolfage wrote on his fundraising page that if every Trump voter donates $80 to his wall-building campaign, they will raise $5 billion needed to build the border wall.
“Even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this,” Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page.

“Not only that, but should we not demand that our tax dollars be used for a legitimate BASIC FUNCTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! “
right! how many of our precious tax dollars are wasted on the demoncrat propaganda organ known as PBS/NPR???
Yep... But even these characters are just pawns on leashes in the bigger game. There are world banking organizations including the FED who have had leashes and control over both sides for many decades now and used to getting what they want when they want it.
Then came Trump who is not on a leash and cannot be told what to do and they are in a panic to get that power and control back in anyway they can. What we are witnessing is one man against a whole world of control through financial power. It’s bigger than most realize and a very huge task.

This is history in the making, it will be another shot heard around the world.
6.25 MIL
The velocity is up to $750K/hr!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now if we could do this for Free Republic on a smaller scale, Freepathons will quickly be a thing of the past.
If we see the velocity up to $1M/hour then we are talking only 40 days to a Billion!!!
$7.25 MIL
Donated. I hope this continues to explode.
$10,635,620 of $1.0B goal
Raised by 174,505 people in 4 days
11 million... :)
Up over 11 million now, 185K+ folks contributing.
Reaching 1 billion is a steep climb, but it’s not just about the money...it is about people. I would love to see a million people contribute...even if it’s a buck. The amount of people speaks volumes in of itself.
KABOOM! $11.5MM this morning with 186,276 people donating!
Of course it is... But the symbolism and power of this statement is priceless. It has teeth and is scaring the hell out of everyone who opposes this. I honestly think this fund and the attention it got yesterday is what made Trump decide to change his mind yesterday and not sign the bill. Which in turn forced the house to regroup and pass the wall funding.
MONEY TALKS.
This fund has sent a huge message that if they are not going to listen then we have the power to just do it ourselves... And WILL if need be. And not just with the wall, it shows we will indeed rally the troops together and take care of business if and when needed.
We have just sat through quite a bit and let it happen so far. This was a line drawn in the sand and it got attention. This alone is priceless and a huge psychological realignment for the swamp. It is an offensive position rather than the normal defensive position they are used to. :)
Yep, And today is payday for most... :)
I believe you are right on the money. That and the comments from Rush Limbaugh / Ann Coulter.
I thought it was priceless to see Paul RINO Ryan reverse course and fund the wall. lol
