It has begun!

On September 6th Fred Thompson announced his candidacy for the White House.

What started as a “draft Fred” movement has exploded into an official Presidential campaign surging to the lead across the country. So many people all across Georgia have been working incredibly hard to make this happen.

On behalf of Senator Thompson, thank you for everything you have done.

Now it is time to get organized and go win this thing!

Today, it is my great pleasure to introduce two key leaders of our Georgia Team for Fred Thompson.

Grayson Daughters, known to the blogging community as Spacey Gracey, stopped by our announcement party at 5 Seasons Brewery to record another episode of Off the Bus, a feature she’s been working on with the Huffington Post.

Here is the video:

I’m the dork with the blinking bluetooth headset. And let me say in my defense, I was listening and waiting for the Senator to join the conference call while everyone else watched Fred’s announcement video.

Club for Growth weights in on Fred

The Club For Growth - http://www.clubforgrowth.org

“Fred Thompson’s eight-year record is generally pro-growth with an excellent record on entitlement reform and school choice and a very good record on taxes, regulation, and trade,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. “His belief in a limited federal government is demonstrated by his numerous votes against government intrusion in the private sector and increased federal spending. His fondness for Tennessee pork aside, Thompson consistently voted against increased spending and new government projects, at times, one of only a handful of senators to do so.”

Robert Novak is reporting on Human Events that Fred Thompson is planning on announcing his intentions for a White House bid through a video, followed by a barnstorming tour stopping at several cities. This strategy was advised to him by none other than Newt Gingrich, who has said he will support Fred Thompson if he runs.
