Campaign Update

Hi Fellow SWOhio Fred Heads:

I want to take this opportunity to give you an update on the Fred '08 campaign.

I hope you all had the opportunity to see the debate last week. I thought Fred did a GREAT job and I am really fired up about the upcoming primary...YES it is coming up WAAAY to fast--- March 4, 2008 in Ohio!

To give you all an update, there has been movement on the campaign front. As all of you who had signed up to receive my Fred e-mails, the hunt for delegates has been underway. Thank you to all who have expressed an interest. There are only so many possible spots, so not everyone who has applied will have the opportunity to be a delegate. However, please know other types of leadership opportunities will come up and the campaign does notice that you all have stepped up to the plate early.

I have been in regular contact with the state coordinator and the other volunteer campaign coordinators throughout the state and the state coordinator is in contact with the Thompson Campaign. Many of these folks working on Fred's campaign statewide worked with me statewide during the Bush '04 campaign. The fact that these same people are working just as hard for Fred already gives me a lot of confidence. I have told them what a great group of people we have here in SW Ohio and how motivated you all are to help Fred. I know you will all continue to step forward for the various leadership roles as they come together.

If you have any particular "Interest Group" that you would like to get involved with and/or be the Captain for your particular community, please let me know. You have come into the campaign at its infancy. What a cool thing to say that you were part of Team Thompson from the start. It is also great to say the YOU recruited lots of other FredHeads, so please continue with getting others to sign up to help Fred here in SW Ohio.

Feel free to pass this on. Also, encourage others to visit this blog below to sign up as a FredHead. We have a great start at volunteers, but a Presidential Race as important as this one we truly need all the people we can get so that Fred Thompson wins the Presidency in 2008!

GO FRED!
