Dear Friends,

I message you today with a call to action. The United States is facing challenging times here at home and abroad. We are at a major fork in the history of our great nation. The Democratic Candidates for President want to take us down the path to a welfare state, where the people are dependent on the government to subsidize every aspect of their lives. Along with that comes a weak foreign policy. Ronald Reagan said, “Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us they have a Utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy “accommodation.” And they say if we’ll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he’ll forget his evil ways and learn to love us.” In those words, this is the exact same situation we are facing today. The left wants to accommodate, and says “If we just come home, they won’t hate us.” Conservatives across the country have again reached, “a time for choosing.”

I ask America this time, to make the right choice. Take the path that America has so long known to be the right path. The path of innovation, hard work, self-discipline, capitalism, free markets, and free people. The path were the government is dependent on the people, and not the other way around. And with this path comes a tough foreign policy; one where the United States stands up to its enemies, and will not back down to any man, any army, or any country that threatens freedom and liberty - no matter what corner of the world.

When one looks at the fog of candidates promising to take us down the path we know to be the one of destiny, it may not seem easy to choose. I ask you to look though, at one man. The man that towers over all men in this group, the man who favors small government and lower taxes, the man who believes in confronting our enemies, the man with a record of service to his country in several aspects of life, the man with a consistent conservative record, the man with substantive policy proposals, and most importantly the man who is willing to take a chance and tell the American people the truth. This man is Fred Dalton Thompson and he is running for President.

He needs our help. The Iowa caucuses are just 7 days away and Fred is running strong - but he has a spectacular new television ad that he wants to run statewide until January 3rd. The ad is called “Substance.”

Will you help get it on the air? Contribute here.

Now is the time, dear friends, to serve your country.
