Fred Thompson Campaign Staffing

The staffing of Fred Thompson's campaign organization continues to clarify with each passing day. Tom Collamore who originally set up Thompson's headquarters was temporarily replaced by Randy Enwright several weeks ago. Spencer Abraham was added to the staff in an advisory capacity a couple of weeks ago and now serves as Campaign Ambassador to "official" Washington. Abraham's inside knowledge of Washington as well as his strong pro-life stance will serve well in that position. Today, Thompson announced the addition of "Bill Lacy, a former strategist for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and Republican National Committee" as his day-to-day campaign manager. I am certain we will continue to see new names come into the fold in an advisory capacity as Thompson continues to "gear-up" for an official announcement which is expected sometime next month.

I'm With Fred

Fred Thompson has re-vamped the campaign site and has some new widgets over there. It is time for everyone to get geared up. We want to be certain to create as much momentum for Fred as possible as he nears a formal announcement that is likely to occur next month. Visit the I'mWithFred site to keep up to speed on his positions, speeches and news on his campaign. I am certain he would appreciate any donations that you wish to make. You can donate from this site by clicking on the widget on my sidebar or by going to the I'mWithFred website.

Fred Thompson is Our Best Chance

The Right is abuzz
All because
They didn't like Fred's choice
To manage the race.

I think if they look
They'll see he threw out the book
And he's running his own
Campaign.

If you consider that Fred
Is already ahead
And hasn't yet
Even declared

And how the left wing
Has started to sing
All the sins of his past
On the air

You might stop and think,
"Would they raise all this stink
If they didn't think he
Was a threat?"

The left-leaning press
Just stirs up the mess
In an effort to
Split up the right.

They press all the hot spots
Tryin' to tie up in knots
The strength of Fred's
Fast growing base.

We should give it some time,
It will all work out fine
For our candidate's
Shrewd like a fox.

He's got the appeal
That can seal up the deal
If we'll trust him
To do what is right.

I know that's a bit tough
Because we've all had enough
Of the Washington
Inside elite.

If we want him to win
We'll just have to give in
And let him do this
His own way.

He's the best that we've got
Because a Democrat is not
Who we want to win
The big race.

Fred has the best chance
Of leading the dance
For a Republican
Victory in oh-eight!

Fred, if you or your staff happen to see this, you ought to give serious consideration to Kay Bailey Hutchinson as a running mate!

One Step Closer

We've been waiting for this...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Fred Thompson took the first formal step toward a widely expected bid for the presidency, establishing a preliminary campaign committee on Friday.
The "testing the waters" committee allows Thompson—a former Tennessee senator and actor best known for his film and television roles, including as a prosecutor on NBC's "Law & Order"—to raise money, hire staff and gauge support without officially committing to a White House bid and without having to publicly disclose donations or expenditures.
The "Friends of Fred Thompson" committee was incorporated in papers filed with the state in Nashville, Tenn....(view complete article here)

Senator Thompson
It's about time!
We're happy that in accordance with LAW
You're getting the campaign in ORDER.
We like what we've heard about your position
Concerning our sovereign border.

Keep speaking plainly
We like that just fine!
Don't get caught in political speak
But tell right out what your platforms are
On the various issues at hand
Such as abortion, immigration and war.

We're tired of the way
This country has been run!
It's time for you to step forward
And lead with all of your skills.
Perhaps you can bring to an end
All of the pork barrel deals.

Please don't fall
Into political speak!
Let us know what your true values are
The people will think that it's great!
A refreshing campaign that's not stuck in the mud
Will get you elected in oh-eight!
