HP:

I raised just over $40,000 for Fred Thompson in the short time he was in the running. You do what most people would never dream of doing: You ask for the money. In the old days (1980s) I would use the book Who’s Who in _____ (fill in the blank) calling everyone identified as a Republican or Independent. Today, most campaigns have a fundraising gizmo that you can put on you website(s), blog(s) and use on social networking sites, comments on news articles, etc. That’s mostly how I was able to bundle so much for Fred. The gizmo was personalized to my account at Fred’s site, so it knew that I was the one that raised that $$ for the candidate... Another thing to do is have a fundraiser at your home, at tea parties, events, etc... if allowed. I would also contact veterans, conservative organizations, women’s groups, etc...

Very interesting -- thank you.

Has anybody yet set up a website called, "MySarahPalin.com" ??

I remember being so appalled when I first heard about that official, "mybarackobama.com" -- LOL, but it would be kind of amusing to COPY the O-bots if alot of money could be raised.

You are a great American and a doer.
