Thread by @FundThatWall

It's amazing.

Each night I sit down to write meaningful Tweets to get released around dinner time, eastern time and each night have been pulled into a bunch of different conversations that don't end until after midnight.

#FundTheWall is here to stay.

Some of these are just operational conversations with team members to plan for MOAR for example, or work on other initiatives but even more are getting introduced to people and meeting people who want to support our initiative.

There are a lot of you!

We've met over 4k new Twitter followers in the past week and a half or so and another 400 on Facebook.

Many have contacted us through the site. The number of hecklers has been far less than we expected, to be honest.

As most of you know by now. the place we got stuck has been on delivery of the donated money to DHS.

There have been several developments on that front in the past day, not all of which I can detail here yet but all of which are promising.

One in particular was Pres. Trump earlier today saying "when it comes to border security, I'll do anything". That's a veritable green light for a solution like this.

Make up some memes exploiting this quote, if you would. We will too.

We met a lot of you because of the petition that we've been circulating, which was just one method that we've been using to try bringing our project to Pres. Trump's attention.

🚨There are still 6 days left to go so please continue sharing! 🚨

But there are other ways too.

As we outlined earlier, there are other contacts that can be made in the Senate and House, and we've been working on both the public campaign and in private trying to get people's attention in Congress.

✅ It's working.

We knew that we could find people that were one or two degrees separated from Pres. Trump that would eventually see us and be willing to pass a message his way.

They don't always jump right out in front of you, but a few key emails or DM's here & there and...

✅ It's working.

We knew that having put the time into it to get it this far, the project's newsworthy. We've gotten some coverage and more is forthcoming. We knew we had to leverage THAT into national news coverage in order to be truly effective.

More will be revealed, but...

✅ It's working.

We guessed that there were a lot of people out there who believe, like us, that a secure border's more important than a few extra dollars in our pocket & so we invested our time and effort into getting this going. Told a few people, they told a few more, and...

✅ It's working.

So don't be too concerned that there are only a few thousand signatures on that petition at this point.

We knew that we would have to explain this idea a few times to people & it would take time to work our way to real reach + credibility.

Once that happens 100k sigs is easy.

Not to mention that if we get to President Trump for an answer prior to Sept. 11, well...the petition's unnecessary.

We can't bank on it, but things are looking good.

We made a plan, and so far thanks to your support,

✅It's working.

Soon we will be able to #FundTheWall!
