Too bad, Kim-- you'll just have to rely on your fellow bigots to come up with the shekels without the help of GoFundMe.

COMMENTS:
*  Bottom line is if this woman wins, you might as well rip up the US constitution and install state-mandated christianity.
*  Hopefully the staff at the jail will find her actions against their religion and refuse to feed her.
    *  My religion requires me to talk bad about Kim Davis. She be butt ugly !
*  I'm sorry aren't republicans all about being proud to be American? Well this lady is being quintessentially anti-American. Forcing her religious views on others. yet since she's the same religion as them, it's ok. she's a hypocrite, and anyone who supports her, and says they support the constitution is also a hypocrite.
*  She's so nasty. A real christian hater, as I've known them all to be. Nasty bigots who somehow missed the entire point of all those old bible stories about jesus. He was a social justice crusader who told everyone that if people treated each other as they'd be treated, society would truly be civilized. I guess she'd have taxpayer-funded bureaucrats deny her basic permissions.
*   What a hypocrite she is! Married four times and pregnant by another man other than a husband! Tired of people using religion as an excuse! Let her rot in in jail!
     *  But let's not forget: she did all those "vile, wicked" things in the past and THEN she was BORN AGAIN!! YEA!!! Remember: Christians aren't perfect - they're just forgiven. Which is an AWFULLY lame excuse for behaving like an abject imbecile with the morals of a drunken rabbit for decades, and then, now that she's found Jeebish - that's all off the table! And now: y'all MUST live by HER definition of morality - and really, y'all must live by HER LAWS!

No, Kim Davis, You Can't Beg for Money on GoFundMe
By Keisha Hatchett, September 4, 2015

While Kentucky clerk Kim Davis sits in jail for being in contempt of court after refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, her lawyers are hard at work trying to clean up her mess and the judge is in a bind when it comes to hitting her where it hurts.

DailyKos reported that “Plaintiffs in the case had asked [District Court Judge David] Bunning to fine Davis, but they specifically requested that he not jail her. Bunning, though, said fines would not work because others might raise money to pay the penalty on her behalf.” Well, thanks to a pair of homophobic bakers, they won’t be able to do it on GoFundMe.

According to Salon.com, the crowdsourcing service nixed a fundraising campaign for Sweet Cakes by Melissa owners Aaron and Melissa Klein earlier this year. They were fined $135,000 for refusing to go through with a wedding cake request for a gay couple. In a statement, GoFundMe explained:
“After careful review by our team, we have found the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal. The subjects of the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled.”
Later on, its policy was changed to explicitly say that “GoFundMe will not allow campaigns that benefit individuals or groups facing formal charges or claims of serious violations of the law.” In order words, Kim Davis is out of luck.

However, she does have supporters in other anti-gay crusaders like Mike Huckabee, who is planning an “#ImWithKim Liberty Rally” on Tuesday. The National Organization for Marriage also stepped in, calling for “a massive mobilization of the grassroots and a ferocious public relations and advertising campaign.” They invite you to help raise $100,000 for the struggling clerk (who makes $80,000 per year) by Labor Day.

Yeah, good luck with that.
