To: George W. Bush

It is a small county in one state, but the numbers are beautiful. Fred is well deserving to be president.

I don’t know why so many people are just waiting in the wings for former Senator/Actor Fred Thompson to announce his candidacy for President. He may look presidential, but for crying out loud, he is an actor, he is trained to ‘look the part’.

I have some information concerning Fred Thompson that you ought to be aware of.

First off, Fred Thompson has hired Spencer Abraham as his campaign manager.

For many of you who don’t remember, Spencer Abraham was a senator from Michigan who was defeated because of a bill he wrote, that passed, which raised the number of H1B visas from 115,000 to 195,000. This ad was used in the campaign to get rid of Mr. Abraham.

Now why would Fred Thompson hire a man of this character to run his campaign if he truly was a conservative and wanted to stand up for the people of this country, not the illegal aliens and the corporate interests that need them

Maybe some of Fred Thompsons voting history from when he held office might explain this.

Thompson’s voting record on H-1B speaks for itself. Americans for Better Immigration gave him a grade of F. Here are just a few reasons Thompson
earned a failing grade:

1998: Voted for S.1723, nearly doubling hi-tech visas

1998: Voted against protecting American workers by putting safeguards into the H-1B law.

1998: S.1723, Voted to allow American workers to be fired and replaced with a foreign worker.

1996: Voted in committee for the Abraham amendment to S.1664. The Abraham amendment to S.1664 stripped all legal reforms from the bill. This vote
shows how closely tied Thompson and Abraham are.

2000: Voted for S.2045, a foreign worker bill with no worker protections. Sen. Thompson voted for the Abraham foreign worker bill to nearly triple
the number of foreign high-tech workers. This is another crucial piece of evidence to their close ties.

The media is playing up to Thompson like he is the outsider who will save the GOP. The people are drooling all over him like he is some sort of a modern day Ronald Reagan.

For cryin out loud people, wake up and do some research on your own and find out the facts about the candidates before you buy into the propaganda being spewed out at you on your televisions! Fred Thompson is just the same mess on a different day, that we have had offered to us for years, a phony conservative, beholden to corporate interests who could give a rats hind end about the welfare of the American people.
