Many considerations.

This vet started it and should lead it. How dare you describe him as unable to handle it. His strength is obvious and I’m sure he can get guidance if ever needed from Gary Sinise.

You should have given your $80 to me to make you some ammo. At least it would have gone to something substantive. As it is, your $80 will do NOTHING for security of the US border. You do realize a private entity can’t build on US government land without a contract?

Kolfage created the campaign on Sunday, which is titled “We the People Will Fund the Wall.”

The liberal courts will never let the people do this.

“Many considerations.”

True, but I’ve pi$$ed away thousands over the years. I figure 50 bucks for even a chance to help this worthy project is worth the risk.

Perhaps our justice department needs to do a better job criminally prosecuting those that would enable the criminal Invaders to remain in the country and commit violent crimes and murder. Help build the case against Sanctuary cities and local governments that allowed this.

I think you are wrong, lots of monuments have been built on government land using private funds. But even if you are right, then nothing lost. The page says the money will be fully refunded if not used 100% to build the wall. So I am ether contributing to a cause I believe in, or I am helping to make a powerful political statement that cost me nothing. If you want the wall, put your money where your mouth is and donate. You have nothing to lose.

I would assume with these fund raising sites that they write a cheque to the vet. He, in turn, can donate the money to the feds to be deposited to the account they are currently using. It’s a large amount of money, but it doesn’t seem a difficult job. It’s not like he has to become the contractor.

There is a lot of land that is privately owned.

Even if it doesn’t go directly to wall building, every little bit of support helps. The funds may eventually be transferred to conservative candidates who could primary the leftover RINOs in 2020.

As some one who built over 200 million on State and Federal Property, there are lots of ways this can happen. As the guy posts on his website, half the restoration cost of the Washington Monument was paid by a private citizen and that was certainly tied up with legislative issues.

Does it though? I am pretty sure the seized funds are directed into the law enforcement agencies that seized them and I’m betting that the language of the statute is vague enough to define the wall as law enforcement activity.

It might be perfectly constitutional.

Very well said. It sounds like grassroots growing to me. Organic. Populism par excellence. Right up my alley.

There’s a page for the “Go Fund Me” Wall on Facebook.

Funny comment there:

“I donated $80 in my name then donated another $20 in Chuck Schumer’s name LOL”
