You must be kidding. Who is Fred Smith?
The NRTL Committee is the largest and most powerful pro-life organization in America and one of the biggest conservative grassroots networks in the nation. All the candidates wanted this endorsement.
Fred Thompson getting the NRTL endorsement is a huge plus for his campaign and gives his him significant political advantage among conservative pro-lifers.
Next big endorsement will be from the NRA. I expect Fred will get that one too.
