Since 12:01 am last night, over 3000 donors have donated online via www.Fred08.com      

While the press has been quick to state that Fred Thompson’s campaign is lacking, the campaign’s political department, in concert with the eCampaign team, organized over 220 house parties, spread over 40 states.

Lastly, 16,000 new “Friends of Fred” have signed up to volunteer for Fred’s campaign.
