a mil in just 4 hours. I posted on 12/19/18 at 7:34 pm in another thread that the donations were at nearly 1.5 million with ~24-25K people donating. That averaged $60 per donation. I checked it just now, it's been a mere 4 hours and 10K more people have donated and it's at: $2,068,213.




Do all these gofundme campaigns grow this fast?

ETA for fast link to watch it grow: LINK

Post the "GoFundMe" link.

Not to the article but to the actual GoFundMe.

Let's get this puppy rolling along, shall we.

$5 bil in a gofundme is an insane amount, but it's not even a rounding error in the Federal black hole.





Watch them somehow tax this fundraisinh campaign for shits and giggles.

I am not trying to rain on this parade. Just asking a question.

The gofundme website has shadow banned this gofundme account. So the growth would be even faster than it already is!

My question is this. Is there a mechanism to get these funds to the right hands? Before I spend money on this I want to know if it will actually happen. And if not what happens to the money?

That’s nice, and I’m glad to see the people making a statement, but I feel like I’ve already contributed by paying my taxes.



I do hope, however, that maybe it’ll get big enough for it to gain some attention in Washington and let the GOP (and Trump) know that this is something worth fighting for. (If I knew the unused funds would go to worthwhile cause/charity then I’d throw in some money to help make the statement, but I know nothing about anyone involved with this account.)

I understand that. And you are right. It's such a shame that congress doesn't realize the will of the people.

Supposedly, if the campaign isn't successful then all funds are returned to those who donated. Yep, this is listed within his "story" section:

• If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny. We are working on a time frame to achieve.

There's some great comments from the facebook page. Here are a few:

quote:

Did you donate to the Trump Wall?

Shaun Peter Jeffrey Yes and I live in the uk
Jean Liguori Vaccaro Yes...under Rosey O'donnell's name cuz I know she loves the Pres as much as i do!

Sonya Ray I saw someone donated $100 under Nancy Pelosi!!

Charity Aldrich I'm absolutely filled with awe at this moment! Not because I support this wall project. Not because I support Trump. But because we are witnessing history right now! We are proving to ourselves and everyone else that we don't have to let the elected government make these decisions. We The People are the Government! We The People are the hope of this nation! We The People can put aside our differences and work together to create a better world for our children and grandchildren. We The People have a voice and we have The RIGHT to use it! Let this be the first step in re-creating the America we know and Love! I have never been more proud of my nation than I am right now!
And now I'm crying... Thank You America!
