My friends, Senator Fred Thompson's campaign for President is now over, but our work is far from complete. We encourage all FredHeads and other grassroots conservative activists to continue their critical efforts to bring the Republican Party back to its conservative roots.

To that end, the leadership and many members of DraftFredThompson, FredHeads, and volunteers for other conservative candidates have come together to form an alliance under the banner "The Reagan Coalition." The Reagan Coalition is a network of grassroots conservative activists formed to promote and defend the conservative principles articulated by Ronald Reagan.

The traditional Reagan Coalition is far from dead. Going forward, the Reagan Coalition will be working to influence state and local elections across the country to establish a solid foundation and a track record to show for it. This Coalition will involve grassroots ground troops working under a nationwide web network to share our challenges, lessons learned and successes.

If you share the goals of the Reagan Coalition, you are encouraged to JOIN HERE.

I want to congratulate Fred Thompson on his recent second-place finish in the latest caucuses.

You may not be aware of Fred's second place finish, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Fred Thompson is now one of only two candidates in the race to finish in the top three in two states (Iowa and Wyoming).

Fred now sets his sights on South Carolina, and he needs our help. A win for Fred in South Carolina will require the ability to make the media buys to get his consistent conservative message out to the voters.

To that end, Randall asked that we get out the following message:

DraftFredThompson is doing a fund drive to fill up Fred's truck from 6:00 to 10:00 tonight:

If you have already given, thank you very much. But I have to ask, can you give another $5, $25 or $100 tonight? If you can just give $5 it is very much appreciated - it will get the Red Truck a few more miles down the road.

Fred is talking about South Carolina and beyond Super Tuesday. He has set his sights on the goal and is fighting the good fight. Now it is up to us. Will we sacrificially support him to the finish line or sacrifice the future of our children and their children?

Fred Thompson refuses to raise his hand for a question on whether "...global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity."

the genuine moderate as opposed to conservative aspects of three of the top-tier, four of the top-tier candidates were on full-fledged display last night. There was one candidate who did not display any moderateness or liberalism or have any of his past forays into those areas displayed, and that candidate was Fred Thompson. %u2026 %u2026we have a campaign now where most of the candidates are not genuine conservatives. They may be saying they are, but in their past they have done some things that are not conservative in any way, shape, manner, or form %u2014 and I think a lot of those things are being overlooked even by friends of mine in the conservative media because the obsession is Hillary. [%u2026]

While everybody is talking about Fred Thompson, %u201CHe%u2019s too lazy. He%u2019s too lackadaisical. He doesn%u2019t seem to have whole lot of energy.%u201D Fine and dandy. I%u2019m not going to argue with people about your perceptions of attitudes and so forth. I will say this. I don%u2019t think anybody would get into this mess running for the presidency, the media and all of these things. You can%u2019t imagine what these people go through. You wouldn%u2019t want to go through it, and I can%u2019t imagine somebody put themselves through it if they really don%u2019t want it. You know, one of the arguments about Fred Thompson is, %u201CWell, I can%u2019t see the fire in his belly.%u201D Well, he%u2019s got a different personality than the others. We%u2019ll just have to see how all this shakes out. But those are the high points that I took.
