Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish that every one of you had been with Fred4Prez and me this morning to have breakfast with Fred.
It was a packed house at The Barn Door as everyone grabbed a plate for the $100 buffet and headed for the best seats to wait for Fred.
Many prominent citizens and local notables were there, including the mother of Sen. Cornyn, District Attorney Susan Reed, and Mrs. Fred Thompson, who worked the room before Fred's arrival. She was beautiful and poised, shaking everyone's hand and making sure she checked your nametag and called you by name.
And then there was Fred. Taller and more slender in person, he is a man who commands attention and knows how to enter a room.
He connected right away, referring to his hometown of Lewisburg, TN, where Davy Crockett's quote is on the courthouse wall: "Make sure you're right, then go ahead."
He said he followed Crockett to the Alamo and has many fond memories here since his daughter Betsy lived in New Braunfels, 30 mi. north of SA. He and Jeri were up early to speak with their 4-year-old daughter and check on their 11-month-old son.
This, he said, is the reason for his decision to run for President. What are we leaving behind for our children and grandchildren? This is the greatest country in the world and we're in danger of losing that. It's their legacy and we have to protect it; defend it.
That's when he told us the one objective we must have for this war: that everyone should know, friend or foe, that we will not back down and we will not be divided.
He noted that budget deficits are causing big problems and mentioned China, in particular. That the Social Security surplus will be gone, probably in about 10 years.
He touched on his history as an attorney and prosecutor, that he entered the movies playing himself. He spoke of being involved in Watergate. He said if he 'wanted' to be POTUS he'd have done it a long time ago!
He is convinced that to fix these things it will take a monumental group effort and that he's the man to see that it happens. That when government does 'everything for you' it can just as easily take 'everything from you.'

Here’s a short snippet from today’s visit to San Antonio. You have to watch a 15 sec. commercial first though...
Wish I could have been there but had to be here at home in Kerrville today...
Go Fred!
This is impossible. Dick Morris said he was taking the week off...
It must be some CFR plot or something...
Right?
LOL! Well, I’m glad he’s not under the weather. :)
It must be next week he is taking off...
You live in Kerrville? Then you could just call F.R.E.E.)The Free Press), or drive there, to get “Who Controls America”, “U.S. Sovereignty Surrendered to Globalist Elite”. Only $2 for one, $10 for ten.
There is another thread, with video on this same event. Posted recently.

After you have meet Fred, do you feel that he is the right man to be our next POTUS ? and having him at the helm when things get nasty ?
Fred4prez said that he got to meet Jeri, on the thread he posted.
“ripley, you’re spot-on about Hitlery Clinton.
heil hillary!!!
We both did, she came right to our table and shook hands!
Oh, so now I find this thread! ;-) Yesterday was tons of fun, wasn’t it? Can’t wait to see what the next few months will hold.
I’ll join the others in saying that I’m jealous. And proud that you got to go!
Thank you! I hope we get to meet sometime! You’re not that far away...
This is the same feeling that I came away with from seeing him here in Iowa...The man ‘Gets It”.
We’ll probably run into each other at the other end of the State. (Speaking of which, are you going to the TFRW convention?)
“Thats why they call it acting.”
TFRW = ? and where and when?
