Oregon Standoff: Beaver State brothers raise over 26K in 'Go Home' Bundy campaign
Two Oregon brothers have already raised over $26,000 in a campaign to get the Bundy brothers and their fellow armed occupiers out of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where they have been camped out since January 2.
The brothers, Zach and Jake Klonoski, launched the 'Go Home' fundraising campaign on Sunday, with those opposing the occupiers set to benefit from the donations.
These beneficiaries include the gun control group Americans for Responsible Solutions; Friends of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge; the Southern Poverty Law Center; and the Burns Paiute Reservation, the Native American tribe who claim their ancestors were the original inhabitants of the land.
The campaign ‒ called G.O.H.O.M.E., short for Getting the Occupiers of Historic Oregon Malheur Evicted ‒ hopes that, by collecting money for organizations that represent the opposite to the Bundy brothers' beliefs, it will make the armed militia members leave.
People pledge per day and this amount increases every day of the occupation; so far the campaign has 649 pledges.
The total amount raised will be split between the four groups once the occupation ends, so the longer it continues, the more cash that will be raked in by the groups that the occupiers detest.
