Following is the text of an email that just went out to all registered members of Ohio4Fred, Ohio FredHeads, and everyone else that matters in my address book. This will be a critical part of the campaign, and I ask that any visitors to this site also consider what is at stake and make a modest contribution to support a return to honest conservative leadership.
The contribution button in the sidebar to the right will take you to the donation page of Fred’s official site.
Thank you,
Tim McDonadl
Fellow Conservatives,
Most of the other contenders were campaigning in Iowa long before Fred even considered entering the race. But Fred Thompson defied the “experts” and finished third in Iowa after only three weeks of relentless campaigning in that state. Those same experts, pundits, and the main stream media were predicting that Fred would quit the race after the Iowa caucuses. However, Fred emphatically rejected that thinking when he declared, “It looks like somebody is going to need to carry a strong, consistent, conservative message and it looks like it ought to be me.” He made it very clear that he intends to continue the fight.
You can view the entire speech through this link.
http://fredfile.fred08.com/blog/2008/audio-ticket-to-the-next-dance/Fred Thompson gained much ground during his intensive three week bus tour of Iowa, and he wants to continue the momentum through New Hampshire, leading to a strong showing in South Carolina.
Fred has asked that we step up and help him to make a strong push through this leg of the campaign. He is asking that we help build the finances for the road ahead, and has challenged his supporters to donate $540,000 between now and January 11th. If Fred can get the message out, the votes will follow.
He is also asking that we help to add 50,000 new “Friends of Fred” over that period. He is asking that each of us send a personal email to 10 friends explaining why we support Fred Thompson for President, and ask that they visit Fred08.com and register as a “Friend of Fred”.
As part of this effort, we would like to send a special message to Fred. The Fred Thompson movement began nearly a year ago with just a few people looking for a true, consistent conservative to join the race for President. In a short time that idea grew into a true grassroots movement with thousands of ardent supporters, and convinced Fred Thompson to throw his hat in the ring. We want to send a message to Fred that the Grassroots spirit is alive and well, and we still have the energy to take on the long campaign. For those of us that have been here from early on, and those that have just joined the fight, lets send a grassroots message to Fred. I am asking you to make a modest donation to the campaign on Sunday night between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. local time in whatever time zone you are in. Donate to Fred
The campaign is aware of this challenge, so lets make sure that there is a noticeable bump in the contributions during that time. We want to show Fred that the grassroots supporters are ready to rally behind the only true, consistent, unwavering, unapologetic conservative in the running.
Please pass this message to everyone you know that may be interested in supporting a strong national defense; secure borders; a strong economy; adherence to the constitution; originalist Federal Judges; lower, simpler, fairer taxes; protection of the unborn; traditional marriage; the Federalist principles of smaller government; and many more conservative ideals. You will find the full package in only one candidate - Fred Dalton Thompson!
If you want, you can forward this email, but please include your personal note of why you support Fred Thompson.
Thanks,
Tim
