George P. Bush, a nephew of President Bush who recently joined the Navy Reserve, has contributed to the prospective presidential campaign of Fred Thompson and signed an e-mail asking friends and associates to do the same, The Politico has learned.
"In a field of candidates without a clear favorite among our fellow Republicans, my sincere hope is that you consider joining us in this effort to encourage Fred to run," the e-mail says.

He “signed an email”?
Do you believe in chain letters?
That bothers me.
LOL! Either this is disinformation worthy of the KGB, or Thompson isn’t our guy. No middle ground.
That’s not a good sign.
‘Key Bush supporters’?
So Fred Thompson just picked up the last remaining six, huh?
It sorta bothers me too. Unless George P has become as staunch on immigration as Fred has, then it worries me greatly.
First month was good and then they reverted to type.
What is wrong with a nephew of the president supporting Fred Thompson????
Would you rather he supported Giuliani?
What if the president ends up supporting him?
How distant a relative of GW must one be before they’ll be allowed to support Fred Thompson?
Please read the whole article. Most of the “Bush backers” are not the pro-amnesty, pro-PLO crowd we have now.
George P. is half Hispanic and lives in Florida. He's one of what Poppy refers to as "his little brown children." Where do you think his empathy lies?
It could be "factually true", but not necessarily desired by Thompson. IOW, an attempt at sabotage.
Advisers say the head of economic policy for Thompson's fledgling team will be Lawrence B. Lindsey, who was President Bush's first economic policy adviser and an architect of his tax cuts. Lindsey was chief economic adviser to Bush's first presidential campaign and is a former member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Lindsey will also have a hand in the campaign's broader policy formulation, sources say.
The head of domestic policy is to be David M. McIntosh, a lawyer and former congressman from Indiana who was an official in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, according to the sources. The chief foreign policy adviser will be chosen soon, the sources say.
Adding to the Bush-Cheney ties, the campaign has said that the chief operating officer will be Thomas J. Collamore, a former aide to the older Bush when he was vice president and also an official in the Reagan administration.
And Michael Turk, e-campaign director for George W. Bush's reelection campaign, will take a leave of absence from his current job with the National Cable & Telecommunications Association to assist in getting the Thompson website off the ground. He may continue in a webmaster capacity for the campaign.
George P. Bush, the chief operating officer of a real estate development firm in Fort Worth, Texas, sent the appeal Friday afternoon along with Timothy P. Berry, the firm's president. The e-mail closes "Devotedly," then has both of their signatures.
FWIW, I’m not on the Thompson bandwagon until I hear him FULLY articlate his illegal immigration stance.
Perhaps his mother emigrated here legally and as a lawyer he supports law and order?
-he recently stated his opposition to this immigration bill
I hope all it is, is a chain letter by George P, because the last thing Thompson needs is to be associated with the Bush family.
That would be a refreshing change of pace for the Bush family, seeing as how his uncle is pushing this travesty of an immigration bill like there's no tomorrow, and his father is, at a minimum, playing coy.
