Truckers Voice Support for Thompson CandidacyLast update: 9/4/2007 6:06:00 PMVolunteers launch website and plan rally to help bring Senator Thompson into the Presidential Race ATLANTA, Sept 04, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- When Fred Thompson announces his entry into the 2008 Presidential campaign, he'll have at least one group of hardworking Americans to help carry the message -- Truckers with Fred. The group, a movement of volunteers has been organizing quickly with two goals in mind: first, to convince Fred Thompson to enter the race and second, to help him win. Volunteers have posted a website and the group's named its first National Directors, with promises of more names to come. "This thing has really started to move," says Bob Fauls, who along with his wife Chris Fauls, have been named the first National Directors of TwF by the initial group of members. "It's a real labor of love. We knew, from talking with friends in the industry that a lot of truckers were interested in a Fred Thompson run. The more we talked about it, the more we realized it would be great if the industry could voice their support together." According to the Fauls, there is a growing list of drivers, company owners and others who want to be part of the Truckers with Fred movement. "We'll be announcing a 'Founders' group soon," says Chris. "Our biggest problem has been setting a cutoff. As one person says they want to be part of this, they almost always say -- but wait, I know a friend that might want their name in, too." Mrs. Fauls noted that anyone who would like to be counted among the first Founders group can use the contact page at . "If we get their e-mail in time, we'll gladly count them in." Whether a trucker signs up or not, the Fauls say they hope that folk will carry Truckers with Fred signs, in the blue green and blue lettering of the website, to various Fred Thompson rallies. "Fred Thompson supports what is strong and good about the heartland and heart of America," says Bob Fauls, "Truckers with Fred signs help show the heartland of America supports him."
