Fred Thompson

So, I’ve got a bit of a dilema.

For the last few months I’ve been positioning myself for a decent slot with Fred’s campaign. My contact there has been rather helpful and its been exciting to watch his candidacy grow. Well, today I got my call. They asked me to send my resume in and let them know what I wanted to help with. Of course, being a candidate, they are also looking for money (and I have no problem raising money) but they also asked if I could attend an upcoming fundraiser this month.

For $2000.

And it comes the week before our summer vacation and the day before my son’s first tuition check is due.

I’m torn. I will certainly give him that amount - and raise much more - but I am hesitant to decline to give at this point even though I know I can’t afford it. He doesn’t have any other fundraisers scheduled, but maybe if I decline now and offer to help host (ie: fundraise) for another . . . .

  1. I’m in.

    I don’t have much to give, but put up one of those paypal donation boxes and I’ll put in what I can. I’m sure others will as well.

    If it will help Fred, I’m all for it. I wish I had the resume and wherewithal to get more involved. As it is, this is what I can do.

    “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.”
    – Edward Everett Hale

    Put up the donation box and I challenge any other reader or blogger out there who backs Fred Thompson to put their money where there mouth is and Help Countertop Help Fred.
