Another suggestion is, organize Freeper Volunteers for FRED, across the Freepers in each State. I am trying to organize a meeting in Orlando Florida.

[Disturbin]

How soon is the announcement coming?

[Sir Hailstone]

$100 here at the ready as soon as FRed is legal.

[JHBowden]

Hell, if the Dems could raise buckets of money for MadHow, we can certainly raise money for FDT.

[samtheman]

five million isn’t much, but it’s a start

[mnehring]

I’ll add an extra 0 to the end of that if he jumps in... In light of all the immigration crap, I’ve been holding my donations to reward candidates who are on the right side of the issue..

[MaxMax]

I'll be holding fund raisers for Fred Thompson at my beach house
once he throws his hat into the ring.

I'm waiting for Fred.

[TatieBug]

Awaiting his jump into the race. Had planned to go to an event featuring Rudy but decided to hold off and give my money to Fred...count me in! Anybody from Alabama will get my look-see! Sure miss the South.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I hope someone asks Fred about his position on the FairTax.This would do him a world of good as more people get on board this issue.The main issue of course is shutting down the leaking borders.

[MarkeyD]

I’m sending at least $1K

[Greystoke]

He will get a lot more than $100 from me in different installments throughout his campaign.

[no dems]

If a mere 50,000 of us do it?

I don’t think there are that many Freepers; are there?

[MitchellC]

This is a great idea. He’s got my $100.

Starting things off with an avalanche of donations could get him a lot of attention all by itself. It might also be enough to clear the field of some lesser knowns and knock a RINO or two on their butts.

Excuse the cut and paste-- I recently cobbled this together:

Fred is the only one I give enough of a damn about to vote for. And walk the streets for. Make of this what you will. I'm not going to argue with people around here, but until he popped up, I had decided to stay home election day 2008.

Yes, all the others were that bad, in my sight. Gawd-awful...

Here's a sampling of Fred- enough for everyone to make up their own minds:
