Key Florida Leader Supports Thompson
MCLEAN, Virginia, Dec. 13 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Fred Thompson campaign today announced the endorsement of Dr. Gary Cass.
"It is my distinct pleasure to give my personal endorsement to Senator Fred Thompson for President of the United States," said Dr. Cass. "Fred Thompson's natural style and consistently conservative voting record will distinguish him from the others. This powerful combination has gained him the support of the largest pro-life organization in America, the National Right to Life Committee PAC. In an increasingly dangerous world, our nation needs a proven, conservative leader who will stand strong for America and our way of life. Fred Thompson is that leader."
Dr. Gary Cass is the former Executive Director of the late Dr. D. James Kennedy's Center for Reclaiming America. As an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church of America, Dr. Cass is currently Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. Dr. Cass has been an entrenched pro-life activist for many years. In 2002, Gary received the California Life Coalition's Pro-Life Service Award for demonstrated excellence in his commitment to protecting life.
"I am blessed and deeply grateful for the endorsement of Dr. Cass, who is held in high regard by conservative Evangelical Christians across the country," said Senator Thompson. "I appreciate the confidence that Dr. Cass has placed in me and the ideas I have for our country. As the campaign heats up, his prayers for me and my family offer us great comfort and strength."
Ping!
Yes. And aren’t you clever for diggin out this piece of information?
TWO BIG ONES IN ONE DAY! Earlier, he received the endorsement of the Vermont Right-To-Life Committee.
She died of heart failure in New York City in 1999 at the age of 74 at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. She is survived by her husband, Eugene Feeney. They had no children.
She was very talented, as I recall.
There is no excuse to endorse Huckabee when Fred Thompson is in the race.
Founders-
Fred was absolutely spot-on at yesterday's Des Moines Register debate in Iowa. I hope you had the opportunity to see him in action. The pundits are all saying how energized Fred is and how this will give us a critical boost. David Yepsen, the preeminent observer of the Iowa caucuses, wrote that Fred "did himself the most good" in the debate.
For those of you that have stated that you wanted to see his energy and passion for the pursuit of the Presidency, I think yesterday provided us all with the first hand view of what audiences in Iowa, South Carolina and the other states have been seeing in person. Fred is energized, he's focused, and he is ready to take this campaign charging hard into the Iowa caucuses.
Starting on Monday, Senator Thompson begins another bus tour through the state, spending 15 days on the ground and visiting over 50 towns. This race is still extremely fluid, and Fred is taking his message directly to the people who will determine its outcome. He is in an outstanding position politically and organizationally. We need your help to ensure that our financial position is strong as well.
I know that raising money during the holidays is difficult, but Fred needs you. We need to raise another million dollars this month to keep the momentum going and continue reaching the voters of Iowa with his consistent conservative message. With your help, we can do it. With just $4,600 more from each of you we will be in a position to do exactly what we need.
Thank you for all of your support. Your efforts have brought us this far...we just need another push to get us over the line. Please let me know if there is any information or materials that you need from us. If there are folks you have that need a call or a push or information from headquarters, please let me know. We will do all we can to answer their questions or give them what they need.
Happy Holidays,
Dorinda Moss

You've got that right. Worth repeating.
T'would be nice, but I suspect a lot of Iowans sat up and took notice after yesterday's debate. And Fred is in the state all month, so he'll be able to meet with lots of folks and keep that buzz going!
I agree, except there's no reason to endorse Huckabee period, IMHO.
bump!
