Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and nearly 2,000 came from within Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100 ...

I’m guessing this will lead to the DOJ investigating donors and doling out punishment.

The People vs Obama and the Federal Government.

Sad thing is, as usual, we're paying for both sides of the fight.

Very telling indeed. Washington is so out of touch with the average American that it will be a bloodbath in November and they don’t even see it coming. The last two years has been a BIG wake up call. I can’t wait for the whole rotten bunch to get flushed with Obama and his filthy legion of traitors soon to follow.
