Thread: IRS Approves Tax-Exempt Status For An Organization That Plans To Crowd-Source Funding

What the appropriations bill said was that none of the MONEY APPROPRIATED TO DHS FROM CONGRESS could be used to fund construction, not that construction could not begin. The Secure Fence Act of 2006 is the mandate that DHS is operating under and nothing in appropriations can change that. They can only tell DHS what they may or may not do with the money in that particular bill. The process we've found bypasses that and gets the money straight to DHS with the condition that it can only be spent on construction.

Sorry to be a bit late to the game here, I'm the Quentin Kramer in the letter there and I'm happy to answer any other questions you all have about what we've been working on.

Thanks!

This idea of crowd sourcing could better serve programs like Planned Parenthood, welfare to illegal aliens, paying for schooling and legal defense of illegal aliens, funding for foreign aid, funding for specific medical treatment of easily preventable diseases and just about anything that benefits specific groups. Since the wall represents the nation, it should be limited to a government function.
