Tired of the armed militia occupying the Malheur National Wildlife refuge, two Oregon brothers have launched a fundraiser to raise money for foes of the occupiers, including a gun control group and a Native American tribe whose members claim the refuge as their ancestral land.
According to OregonLive, Eugene natives Zach and Jake Klonoski launched an online campaign Sunday morning that they will maintain until the occupiers abandon their illegal seizure of the refuge.
Using the acronym G.O.H.O.M.E. (Getting the Occupiers of Historic Oregon Malheur Evicted), the brothers stated that funds raised on the website will go to groups antithetical to the militia movement.
"The more pledges we get, the more pressure there is for them to leave," said Zach Klonoski, who works for Portland Mayor Charlie Hales.
"Otherwise, we're going to continue funding groups that they despise."
Planned recipients of the fund include a gun control campaign, a local group that supports the wildlife refuge the occupiers want to take back for "the people," an organization that has called Bundy and his armed followers "extremists," and the Native American tribe claiming the land as home to their ancestors.
As of Monday morning, more than $24,000 has been pledged.
