And that's an "American billion"--a "British billion" is a million Millions, 1000 times larger.

I'm about broke and a notorious tightwad, but I found $25 to put up. Sigmonkey vouched for the guy running it. What more do you need?

While it is a symbolic message at this point what are the methods and legalities this money being directly applied to the wall?

Right all this is doing is making money for GFM as they are making interest off the 17 million they are holding.

I would gladly donate $100 if I knew the money was applied to the wall and it was actually being built.

This pervasisve attitude is precicesly why the number of donations hasn't topped even half a million yet. The number of people donating would send a much more important message I believe than the actual dollar amount raised.

And you can mail your check directly to Brian should you not want GFM to see any profits. I don’t know how much Brian has received through the mail, he hasn’t mentioned that in his email updates to his contributors.
One good thing about the GFM page, is that people know right away how much is being raised by the minute, and how much is being contributed by individuals.

Update from Brian:


We are chuggin along everyone! We hit $17 MILLION yesterday and we're by far the largest GoFundme based off of donors.

I'am heading to DC today to meet with Lawmakers, Lawyers, have a few Fox News interviews and we are finalizing our game plan to allow the funds to be used on the wall directly. You all will be very happy to see what a little hard work can achieve and how we have it pulled off.

KEEP ON RAISING FUNDS! Be our mouth, we are going to get the wall and we are not stopping

Visit WeFundTheWall.com and SIGN our petition! Twitter is lying and saying it steals your password. Fox News will be exposing them tomorrow!

Keep up the good fight, we are making history! Help spread the word!

I'm going to send off a donation once I get home - if nothing else its a message about being fed up

as far as the ultimate us, I expect that it will end up as part of the wall

I am sure there will be some sort of place in the wall where the contributors will be recognized

I'd rather have my name on it as a patriot, than not

$17.378,000 plus. Pushing 300k people who have chosen to donate. Way to go America. Let’s keep this train rolling!

$17.6 million. Chugging along!

Come on, people of America, keep this thing going!! We need to show Pres. Trump that we back him, and his border wall!!

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is offering a Bill that would deny applying any non-government funds to building the Wall, among several other nefarious schemes. I predict it won't pass the Senate, and even if both houses passed it that President Trump would not sign it. Almost certain that a 2/3 veto override would not happen.

Sent a small amount as it is all I can afford. I’ll be sending more each week.

Almost to $18 million. Come on Americans!

$18,000,240.00

We need Hannady, Ingerham, and Tucker Carlson to get behind this on their nightly shows. The Hill News to do it also. We can pull this thing off, and it will put the DemoRats in a very bad light!!

Wait until after the new year and people refocus on this.

Update 13:

$18,166,000 and growing. Great job fellow patriots!

$18.2 million plus. Over 300k contributors. Awesome.

Ah, music to my ears!!!
