14. GoFundMe not an option, but a very connected fundy site--Samaritan's Purse--

run by Billy Graham's nasty son--Franklin Graham--has a dedicated fundraising
portion of its site for...wait for it...Persecuted Christians--USA.

http://www.samaritanspurse.org/donation-items/persecuted-christians-usa/

I kid you not. I found it when I was checking on the amount raised by someone who
put up a specific fundraising page for Kim Davis hosted by the Samaritan's Purse site.

I have forward the info to Americans United for Separation of Church and State--which
is following the Kim Davis thing pretty closely--because neither Franklin Graham nor
the Samaritan's Purse site is listed on AU as one of the right wing groups they routinely monitor.
So, I don't know if this "Persecuted Christians-USA" is something new or whether AU is aware
of it. Samaritan's Purse has a separate section for raising funds for Christians Persecuted International
(presumably in countries where some other religion is dominant and protected by law).

Good grief. These people are really bat shit nuts to think Christians are persecuted in this country
just because they aren't allowed to discriminate against anybody they don't like because of some
peculiar notion they hold.
