As Conservatives sit back and take a deep breath following the battle over the Senate/White House Immigration Reform Act, I'd like to ask you, if you aren't already, to spend a few minutes contemplating the primaries and Presidential election coming up next year. After all, this latest misguided attempt at immigration reform can be laid in part at the feet of the man who currently occupies the Oval Office. The man (or woman) who we put in that office next November will have a large part in determining the course that our nation takes in dealing with criminal immigration. Not to mention the myriad other important issues that face our country: the global War on Terror, Iraq, taxes and the economy, international diplomacy (Russia, China) and possible warfare (Iran, N. Korea), Supreme Court appointments, moral issues like abortion and gay "rights"-- the list could go on and on. Do you want a socialist like Hillary dealing with these issues? A lukewarm Republican like McCain? Or do you want a real Conservative? Now, I realize that it is very early in the race, but both parties have already have had three of ten scheduled primary debates, and it is time that voters start taking a serious look at the current field of candidates if they have not already.
I understand that many voters would rather take a wait-and-see approach to the primaries, trying to see which candidates can maintain their poll numbers and fundraising, but I would ask that you not do this. First, who says that the "crowd" six months down the road will be going in the right direction? I would much rather play a role in directing, by early and active involvement, the rest of the "crowd." Second, I want Republican voters to strongly consider throwing their support behind a certain candidate for the nomination. I believe that Senator Fred Thompson is the candidate who will be the best leader for our nation while we face the great issues of our time. Senator Thompson will be announcing his candidacy in early July, and is currently in the exploratory committee stage. Now, you may think, "What! You want me to support someone who hasn't even announced yet?" That's right! First of all, I'm not asking you to support some third-tier, maybe-he'll-announce-in-a-few-months candidate. Fred Thompson is almost guaranteed to announce on or around July 4th, and despite the fact that he is not an official candidate, he is running in third place or better in many poles! Second, Fred is a candidate who merits the support of the conservative base. He is a strong, consistent conservative who believes in the values foundational to America. I want you, the Republican who truly cares about the future of America, to support Fred Thompson for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
Don't take my word for it! I am not able to fully document Fred Thompson in this blog, but I will give a list of websites and blogs to allow you research him and his views. The most important of these is
the exploratory committee website. PLEASE go here to sign up as a friend of Fred, donate, and tell others about his candidacy.
These sites are contain large amounts of information about about Senator Thompson:
Maine for Fred Thompson -- informative, regularly updated Maine site. Includes voting record as well as an extensive blogroll.
Fred Thompson News -- Up-to-date news and articles on Fred's campaign.
The Fred Thompson Report -- Has archives of the transcripts of Fred's ABC radio commentaries.
I will also be regularly posting either my own thoughts or links to other articles that deal with Senator Thompson and his campaign.
