Fred Thompson that is, the Law and Order guy.

"Over about two decades of lobbying (during which he also acted and practiced law), Thompson made nearly $1.3 million and represented clients including a British reinsurance company facing billions of dollars in asbestos claims, Canadian-owned cable companies, and deposed Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, according to government documents and media accounts from his first run for the Senate in 1994.

The Daily Flipper: Cabinet Full O' Problems Edition

You can help fund this research with the purpose of digging through old records as the Republicans have done for many years, for the purpose of having on the ground camera crews in early primary states.

The Democratic Party needs to support that kind of diligent reporting in the new election cycle -- with video crews permanently on the ground in early primary states, for example. What did John McCain say in New Hampshire? Who did Rudy Giuliani visit in Iowa? What did Mitt Romney do in South Carolina? The DNC needs to know the answers to these questions every time a Republican makes a campaign stop, and we have to be ready to take the proper course of action. Let's set up a state-of-the-art operation to bypass the media and take the story of their lies, flip-flops, and out-of-whack priorities directly to you.

The Republican presidential hopefuls all have decades of documents, speeches, and video archives that my team is going through -- finding discrepancies in their speeches, holding them accountable for their shameless pandering, fact checking their statements, and establishing a larger narrative to frame our opponents. We need your help to make sure we have the resources to get the job done right.
