The Marxist DemocRATs in Congress are trying to stop the American people from helping fund The Wall. Please help get this information out.

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=144465

“The Democrats are so worried that the American people will fund the border wall, that they just took steps to make sure it doesn’t happen.

The Gofundme.com to fund the border wall started by a triple amputee veteran and has raised over $16 million dollars.

Like a majority of those American citizens who voted to elect President Donald J Trump, we voted for him to Make America Great Again. 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...”

“Democrats are going to stall this project by every means possible and play political games to ensure President Trump doesn’t get his victory. They’d rather see President Trump fail, than see America succeed...”

From townhall.com

“Ever since Conservatives rallied around a GoFundMe campaign to fund the border wall, Democrats have tried to figure out stop it in its tracks. Currently, the campaign has raised more than $16 million of its 1 billion goal.

Now, Democrats are attempting to pass legislation that would block the federal government from accepting the citizen-raised funds.

Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Wednesday introduced House Resolution 7332, which would “prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to build a wall between Mexico and the United States, and for other purposes.”

Currently, there are four co-sponsors: Reps. Karen Bass (D-CA), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Marcia Fudge (D-OH) and Joaquin Castro (D-TX).

The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee...”

There is a similar lonely pine tree in Alabama on I-10 east between Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida. Every year it gets decorated for Christmas. I’m not sure if it is a memorial tree, but it might be.

I think President Trump will veto any such resolution. Furthermore, what is to stop the people of this country from purchasing land all along the border, wherever it can be bought, and building the wall? As I see it, the democrats are basically claiming that building the wall is squandering taxpayer money. What business is it of congress we the people, raise the money, buy the land, and build the wall. Seems to me this renders the federal govt pretty useless, if we have to go outside the govt to get things done. We HAVE to do something about voter fraud, NOW!!!!!! These people do not represent us, and furthermore they are usurpers, cheats, and traitors. They were not elected by us.

" Democrats are attempting to pass legislation that would block the federal government from accepting the citizen-raised funds."

Every penny the Government gets id raised by the citizens. So they're gong to make it illegal to pay you taxes?

And everybody becomes a felon so they'll have to build a wall to keep us in?

How many Marxist RATs were elected during the 2018 midterms via “voter fraud?” How do We The People demand an investigation into the 2018 November 6th midterm voter fraud? How do we remove those elected corruptly? Start with California, New York, and Illinois then move into every state. This has to be done before 2020.

Trump won’t sign it & it also may not pass the Senate.

A move of desperation on the part of Democrats & they cannot stop spitting into the faces of the American citizens.

WHY HASN’T A REPUBLICAN INTRODUCED A BILL THAT SAYS THAT EACH OF THESE DEMS WHO OPPOSE BUILDING THIS WALL AND SUPPORTS THIS PROPOSED BILL FORBIDDING PUBLIC FUNDING OF THE BORDER WALL WILL PERSONALLY REIMBURSE THE U.S. TREASURY FOR THE COST OF SUPPORTING EVERY ILLEGAL THAT ENTERS THIS COUNTRY? WATCH HOW QUICKLY THEIR SUPPORT EVAPORATES. [pardon my capitalization]

That would be a bill of attainder, which is unconstitutional.

We need to remember every waking minute what scum these Democrats are!

Democrats are anti-American!

If a person votes for a Democrat, he/she is voting AGAINST America!
