Sometimes his posts have violated DU TOS. I actually told him that once. I know he's got to vent, but this is not the place.

He's been posting about this for months and this is the first time he's asked for money. (To my knowledge) Like I said elsewhere, if he's a scammer he's a lousy one.

What's the logic for China demanding direct flights? LisaL Mar 2022 #19

Yes. Their "logic" is I could pick up COVID19 in an international terminal on a layover. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #20

I don't understand the picture on GFM sheshe2 Mar 2022 #21

Privacy and a stock photo alphafemale Mar 2022 #23

Anyone that visits his campaign site can see the picture. sheshe2 Mar 2022 #25

Yup. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #32

I hope he answers this question kcr Mar 2022 #24

Looks like GFM just has a stock photo. LisaL Mar 2022 #27

That was obvious kcr Mar 2022 #44

I hope so too. sheshe2 Mar 2022 #28

I just changed it. I did it at school. I just used stock until I got home to update. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #31

Why? BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #33

What do you mean? LisaL Mar 2022 #34

Ok. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #36

He has been posting about his situation for a long time. LisaL Mar 2022 #37

Read his answer again. Elessar Zappa Mar 2022 #35

Done. Totally Tunsie Mar 2022 #47

Thank you. I'm sorry. I didn't see your reply AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #111

I do not find your posts canetoad Mar 2022 #48

What do you think is dishonest ? JI7 Mar 2022 #50

Hard to say JI7 canetoad Mar 2022 #53

I'm still waiting for your apology. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #127

It is. betsuni Mar 2022 #54

How am I dishonest? Please tell me. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #128

Because you said your wife had a tourist visa and somehow tried to change her visa status betsuni Mar 2022 #130

No. She came the US on her tourist visa. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #131

But it seems, from what you've said, that she tried to change her visa at SEATAC, betsuni Mar 2022 #132

No. When she got to Tucson, we were going to submit that when we were together AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #136

You said "the CBP in SEATAC refused her entry because she couldn't prove she was married ... " betsuni Mar 2022 #137

Her international flight from Shanghai stopped in SEATAC, where she went through CBP AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #139

How did she get to Tucson if she was refused entry in Seattle? betsuni Mar 2022 #140

She didn't. If she did, we wouldn't have this discussion AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #141

But why would marriage even come up when someone's entering a country on a tourist visa? betsuni Mar 2022 #143

Because she presented them our marriage information and was honest to a fault, AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #144

Good questions. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #142

I agree with you, this is a scam. $5,000 to $9,000 for a flight to China is ridiculous. akbacchus_BC Mar 2022 #52

My understanding is for whatever reason LisaL Mar 2022 #71

Here you go AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #75

This gentleman has been discussing his situation for months on DU shrike3 Mar 2022 #96

This message was self-deleted by its author Celerity Mar 2022 #51

He did say Dorian Gray Mar 2022 #55

non stop from the US is ridiculous, my firm has people fly into HK and Shanghai all the time from Celerity Mar 2022 #56

Plenty of cheap flights. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #57

and the prices were way lower a month or so ago (thanks Putin!, fucking berk) Celerity Mar 2022 #58

No kidding. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #63

But those cheap tickets are useless to him if he has to fly directly from US. LisaL Mar 2022 #70

What OP is saying that he has to flight to China direct. LisaL Mar 2022 #66

He can't fly with a stop in another country per Chinese rules. LisaL Mar 2022 #69

I won't be issued my Green Code health pass at the airport unless it's a nonstop flight AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #86

that is a crazy rule Celerity Mar 2022 #87

He didn't make the rules but he has to follow them. LisaL Mar 2022 #88

I never said he made the rule nt Celerity Mar 2022 #91

My school in China has a teacher suck in Thailand because China also requires it done in your home AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #92

Businesses are under different rules. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #93

Why is that? I've never heard of such a requirement. yardwork Mar 2022 #59

Perhaps there is such a requirement, but I don't see it on any travel or US sites. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #60

China is having a covid outbreak right now and it has a zero covid policy. LisaL Mar 2022 #67

I haven't said anything about the poster making things up. yardwork Mar 2022 #89

He said he was looking at a month long quarantine anyway? BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #94

I understand why people are suspicious. LisaL Mar 2022 #98

Notice from the Chinese embassy. . .I expect apologies. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #84

I've read your post several times, as well as responses in the thread. yardwork Mar 2022 #61

No, Chinese government is concerned about covid spreading. LisaL Mar 2022 #68

Posts in this thread indicate otherwise. yardwork Mar 2022 #73

What good are the non-direct flights if China is requiring direct LisaL Mar 2022 #74

Wait. The OP wants a green card to China? yardwork Mar 2022 #77

Green pass or green code, not green card. LisaL Mar 2022 #85

Let me enlighten you, since you came into this discussion trying to prove something about me. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #90

Thank you. They changed the rules in February. I need a "green code." AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #82

Here you go. My posts about my wife, the direct flights to China AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #78

You want apologies for questions?! yardwork Mar 2022 #80

You are rude. Please don't speak to me. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #81

No, she isn't, she is a brick obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #134

Many of us have had the OP say the same to us. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #138

Yeah, it is really distressing to me tbh obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #149

You didn't notice that other DUers encouraged him to do? shrike3 Mar 2022 #99

It will be the last time too. I am tired of my honesty and integrity constantly being questioned AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #108

It's not my call, but maybe it'd be best to rely on those who are physically in your life shrike3 Mar 2022 #113

Seems like lots of members have questions concerning this? bluestarone Mar 2022 #64

Lol, don't open that particular can of worms! BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #65

I contacted Grijilva, Sinema, and Kelly. They all did nothing. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #72

Did they do nothing, or were they unable to give you what you wanted? yardwork Mar 2022 #76

I expect apologies. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #79

Notice from the Chinese embassy AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #83

To answer your question: AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #95

They did plenty obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #133

I agree kcr Mar 2022 #148

... obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #150

Am I the only one who noticed AZL created the GFM AFTER another DUer suggested he do so? shrike3 Mar 2022 #97

Yep. For whatever reason US government has deemed his paperwork regarding his Chinese wife to LisaL Mar 2022 #100

Thanks for that info. I confess I don't understand the hostility. shrike3 Mar 2022 #101

It may be the first time he's asked for funds for traveling to China, Totally Tunsie Mar 2022 #102

Yes, campaign fundraising. betsuni Mar 2022 #103

I am ending the campaign account and will donate the money to a local food bank AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #104

That's not even the issue for me. Totally Tunsie Mar 2022 #109

Do I need to disclose everything about my private life to everyone? AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #110

Let's just note that I have not called you a "fraud" or a "liar" Totally Tunsie Mar 2022 #112

I bought the trip to LA in January before all this happened AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #114

Oh, that's easy! You can totally get a refund, man obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #135

Things that make you go hmmm. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #147

I remember the screenplay post. Thought it must have something to do with that. shrike3 Mar 2022 #117

When did you suspend your account? Dorian Gray Mar 2022 #145

Sorry. I haven't yet. Been dealing with family issues and my wife AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #146

Trip to LA is paid out of my paycheck. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #105

Wow. Ok. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #107

He's posted at length about his personal situation. shrike3 Mar 2022 #115

It was the Children's Movie I have won nine awards for in the last twelve months AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #119

I remember. shrike3 Mar 2022 #120

The thought of a GFM wasn't even in my mind until it was suggested to me. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #106

Are you on social media? shrike3 Mar 2022 #116

I have a very limited social media. Only my closest friends and family AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #118

Make your GFM shareable and ask your family and friends to share it. shrike3 Mar 2022 #121

I'll do that. Thank you. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #122

Good luck! DUers are good people mvd Mar 2022 #123

Thank you. Don't put yourself in financial jeopardy. Take care of #1 first. AZLD4Candidate Mar 2022 #124
