When presented with a complex question Wednesday that can not be answered with a "yes" or "no," Fred Thompson said he wasn't going to play into the trickery of the Iowa debate moderator.

The moderator asked for a show of hands from candidates on how many of them believe "global climate change is a serious threat caused by human activity." While the rest of the candidates either raised thier hands or didn't like the lemmings ready to lead America off a cliff that they are, Fred Thompson was the true leader who pointed out that the question could not be answered so simply.

Thompson's response is one I would expect from a man who is ready and willing to lead the country through difficult choices and able to withstand political pressure to make the right decision. He is the right choice for this country. Take a look:

Oh, and which candidates did raise their hands to the affirmative? That's right, the media darling fake Republicans Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and John McCain. Real Americans should not even think twice about counting them out of the race.

Now Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul didn't raise their hands, but at least Fred Thompson took a stand to point out how ludicrous the question was to begin with. Fred Thompson was the only man on that stage who deserves a vote. Take a look:

Here's a related message from Fred's campaign:

Dear Friend of Fred,

In the 1980 campaign, I worked for Ronald Reagan. I was proud to be part of his team.

Now, I am just as proud to be part of Fred Thompson's team.

In 1980, the defining moment for President Reagan was in a New Hampshire debate when he refused to kowtow to a belligerent moderator.

Fred had a defining moment on Wednesday in the Iowa debate, when he refused the liberal moderator's demand to raise his hand to say yes or no to a complex question.

The similarities were incredible.

On Monday, Fred kicks off "The Clear Conservative Choice: Hands Down!" Bus Tour in Iowa. The tour will take Fred to 50 cities and towns across Iowa in the most aggressive retail campaigning of the whole campaign.

Just in time for the Iowa caucuses on January 3! In fact, Fred will be there virtually the entire time except Christmas until the vote.

We call it "The Clear Conservative Choice" tour because Fred is the only clear, consistent conservative in the race. He was conservative in the past, he is today and he will be so in the future. You can count on him.

We just added the "Hands Down" to commemorate his dominating performance in the Wednesday debate.

I believe this tour can make the difference in the Iowa caucuses. It will bring Fred in contact with thousands of caucus goers--it will build off the momentum of Fred's performance.

Fred is really energized...and he's already come out swinging.

But that's where you come in.

We need "air cover" in the form of media for our tour and our first rate ground game.

As you can imagine, Fred is the best on TV and his bold proposals have been highly praised by conservative publications and commentators.

But we need additional funding for our final media push.

Can you help?

I know things are tight this time of year, just before Christmas...BUT NOW IS WHEN WE NEED YOU THE MOST!

Please make your contribution today. I did.

Help Fred keep his bandwagon rolling--and the momentum increasing!

Thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,

William B. Lacy, Campaign Manager
