Bundy Militiamen Gave Thousands To Conservative Causes

Bundy Militiamen Gave Thousands To Conservative Causes

The Bundy brothers are taking an extreme stand against the federal government, but they have opened up their wallets to federal politicians and conservative causes in the past, according to a new report by E and E publishing.

The outlet reported that the family of Ammon Bundy, the man believed to be leading the standoff in Oregon at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, donated $1,000 to Ron Paul in 2008 and and another $500 in 2012. According to the E and E report, his wife Lisa Bundy also gave $2,500 to Ron Paul in 2012 as well $5,000 to an anti-gay marriage ballot initiative in the state of Arizona.

Nobody wants to really shake the tree when it comes to Politics in Nevada or Utah as well as Arizona. If we had a real News Media,then you would see how corrupt the system is. And this can be changed if the Democratic Party would really do a get out to vote. Folks out side of this region have know idea how weak our position is when we go to get out the vote. We get a ton of photo Ops,and that is it. Phone banked in 2014,talk about zero support from the top Dem in our state.

our County Attorney has been marginalized by his Political Party and has given the Bundy's a get out of jail free card. Keep hearing the story this line from our County Sheriff,we are working on it and it is not done yet and those people will answer to us. Eighteen months of running of the mouths.
