Breitbart: Brian Kolfage, the triple-amputee military veteran who has raised more than $17 million to pay for a wall on the U.S. southern border with Mexico through a GoFundMe campaign is telling supporters on social media that he will make a “huge announcement” next week.
“You all will be very happy to see what a little hard work can achieve and how we have it pulled off,” Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page where 294,661 people have donated and 2,984,722 have signed a petition that Kolfage added to his campaign.
In a series of tweets, Kolfage said the campaign is a success and that he would be making an announcement next week.
“We are funding the Wall! We Have it Done. Big Announcement Next Week!!! Donate,” Kolfage tweeted.
“There’s nothing better than being told we can’t do something and then coming out on top. We are funding the wall, and you are about to take part in a historic moment. Next week we release our full plan,” Kolfage tweeted. MORE HERE
The Announcement:
The U.S. Government has agreed to take the full $17 million which will be appropriately deposited for use by the Democrat controlled House of Representatives (who have the power of the purse for all government activities).
Oops.
Raising $17MM is no small feat. I bet he stirred up some influential people in the process. Further, 3MM signatures should have some weight. It might not be the end of the campaign, but more of a path to success, provided additional milestones are achieved. This could give the campaign legitimacy to continue to grow supporters.
If $5 Billion only builds 200 some miles, how much does $17 million buy? I hope to hell The President doesn’t settle for less or “make a deal” with dems. We always lose when “dealing” with dems.
$17MM / 294,661 contributors = $57.69 per contributor on average
Use the money to first craft an email stating the truth about southern border security, that the vast majority of the between 15 and 30 MILLION illegals in the country came through the southern border, how much they cost the country in terms of direct cost (health, housing, food, education) and indirect (Americans of all colors but especially blacks are squeezed out of the job market by illegals undercutting the wages everyplace they set up a hive), that at least 5% (probably much more) illegal drugs are smuggled through the southern border), the human sex slave traffic is run through the border (both ways) destroying countless lives etc etc. Make sure every point is truthful and defensible then rent the mailing list of all GOP party members, all Green Party Members, all Libertarian party members, all members of congress and the senate and if you ca swing it the mailing list of all Democratic Party Member. Include a few pics (but not too gruesome) of the damage caused by an unsecured border. Set up the lists, the email then press enter! Then sit back and watch the explosions
I hope his efforts are successful. I watched the fund grow and checked updates. The only thing that gives me pause, supposedly the funds cannot be used for the wall without specific legislation.
Now there is a bill, sponsored by a R congressman from OH, which “has to be passed in this Congress, i.e, Paul Ryan’s House.
NOTE: sponsored. Doesn’t have a co-sponsor, hasn’t been brought to the Floor, ergo, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.
Last update: “we will refund your money OR donate to a charity to which we all agree.
The way the Dems make it sound, that $17 million should be enough to secure the southern border “smartly” for about 5 years. You just gotta trust them dems, they are smart and extremely efficient with those smarts.

Why do I not trust the democrats and the 9th circuit court/mafia?
Democrats used to say the virtual wall was working…I’m going to pay virtual income taxes this year.
It is over $18 million now👍🏻
Ladies and Gentlemen.
What you have said applies to taxpayer funds, these are donations fpr a specific purpose. Congress has NO control of these funds.
I heard somewhere that the Democrats are introducing a bill that private money cannot be used to build the wall.
Yet democrats are all in favor of using private money to fund other projects, especially when the private money is taken from the owner by threat of force, and transformed into “government money”.
Or use the money to set up a PAC that will use the $17 million (probably a lot more when done) to target the primaries of the GOP Senators that will not vote for the wall financing. If it’s put that way the fund could grow incredibly and challenge Dem PACs built by billionaire crunts like Tom Steyer or George Soros.
