Redirected my $80 to keep it trying to get the wall built.
That one pained me to include but it was too perfect not to include (how many times have we heard that dismissive put-down?). Actually, Ronald Reagan might not have had the background to suggest that he could have successful in the wall project but I wouldn't have bet against him if he set his mind on it.
Already redirected my $200 to their new venture...
Ditto here. It was very easy to do.
Actually, I like the idea if sections of wall NOT government owned
Me too. For one thing it will show how private enterprise can build a wall for a whole lot less than what the government will spend on a wall.
Nothing like a little competition to keep our monopoly government honest.
You're wrong.
People -- regular Americans including a hella lot of Freepers -- put $20M skin in the game. In a month+. Without fear. Trusting in this Warrior.
At the bare azz minimum, that took away a key talking point from Speaker Skeletor: "I (***inhale through wine-rotted teeth***) just don't see where Americans are that concerned..."
Instead Pres. Trump could immediately pivot past "are Americans concerned" to "how do we break ground on this and survive Federal court challenges".
National Emergency is the way to go, and unironically, satisfies your concerns.
But as a #Narrative tackle, this Warrior delivered a total stuff on the Democrat quarterback.
The “attractive nuisance” doctrine compels the government to build the wall.
It must be reined in and bought to its knees serving us not the corporate interests or some fat cats pocketbook.
Ours went to the wall...plus we did another $500...
Barnum was right.
Ours was a little smaller, but we directed as well.
Suggest all copy/ edit.forward the info in this Post (you should have got something via email) to anyone you can on and off FR, as many people might ignore GoFund Me followups thinking they are just pitches for more $.
The government can later nationalize it under Eminent Domain, and take responsibility for maintaining and patrolling it. It’s beautiful that citizens are pitching in. I wish I had some money to donate.
Article headline: Those Who Donated To The Border Wall GoFundMe Campaign Are Being Refunded. Here’s Why.
First sentence of the article: The GoFundMe campaign that generated $20 million in private donations is being shutdown and those who donated are being refunded their money unless they decide to donate it to a newly-established 501(c)4.
‘Unless” is a pretty important word, huh?
Seems to me the headline is a lie. The money is being refunded only under certain circumstances. The headline makes it sound like ALL the money is being refunded.
WADR you should ask the Admin Mods to amend your title (semi barf alert).
The headline makes it look like a failure. Many people don’t read past the headline and won’t see that over 90% of donors have clicked on the option to move their donation to the new 501c.
HOW much $$$$$ was raised by the Liberals for the crazy ‘professor’ lying bout Kavanaugh?
I would MUCH rather see citizens step up with small donations to hammer home the fact that WE want THE WALL.
