Update on Fred Head 9/6/08 Luncheon

Hi Fellow Fred Heads!

I wanted to give you all an update on our Fred Head Luncheon we had yesterday at Frisch's. It was great to see so many enthusiastic people in support of Fred Thompson and great that we could all finally say that he is in the race.

We discussed the reasons we all support Fred and some common threads 1. We agree with him on 99% of his issues-- except that evil McCain-Feingold thing.-- I hope he has a mea culpa on that one.
2. He is for less federal government and has been to his core consistently
3. He is a conservative that the base can get behind
4. He has a real chance of winning this thing
5. He seems like a genuine person
6. He seems to be the closest thing to Ronald Reagan that we have seen for a long while.
7. and more.

As we did the introductions, we noticed that we come from different backgrounds and past political involvement (from never having participated before, to being very involved in political campaigns) and we all have different talents & skills that are valuable. It was great to see some newcomers to the political arena understand the dire importance of this election in our country's history.

We also discussed the importance of getting a large volunteer database together because the more people, the lighter the load. When people sign up to volunteer, some will only want to put a sign in their yard, which is great. Others will take a leadership role in their community to get volunteers. All are important.

On that note, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recruit at least 5 people to sign up on this website to Be A Fred Head.

You can also send them to www.ohio4fred.conservablogs.com to get even more information and connections with Tim with the Ohio 4 Fred site. If you havent done so already, please sign up on both. Each of us, though we coordinate efforts, may have our own opportunities.

Last thing I will bring up now is, if you would like to make a monetary contribution to Fred, I have a link on this website to donate. The reason that is important is that it is tracked from this site and it will give SW Ohio credit as a place that Fred should come-- the more support we give him the better. '

I hope this sums it up pretty well. I heard from a lot of you that were not able to make the meeting, but we will be having more in the future. Feel free to host your own party as well with family and friends or you too can open it up to SWOhio Fred Heads. It is a great way to meet like-minded individuals and get fired up.

Also, visit the Official Fred 08 Website for more good information on Fred.

GO FRED!
