Campaign News
We have purchased our traditional media advertising. We will have TV and radio spots! The cable advertising was more than we had expected. Praise God, we dis have enough, but it took some of the money budgeted for newspaper and Facebook ads. If you can, please give again and designate it for either Facebook or newspaper ads.
The big signs are here! We have them divided by county. Contact either your Republican county chair or Charley Williams if you have a high traffic spot that needs some Thompson decor.
Halloween is just a week away. We would like to encourage you to hand out Thompson push cards with your candy to trick-r-treaters. Let us know if you need more materials. Also, if you dress up as Boren, Obama, or Pelosi, please send us a picture. ;)
Look What We Did!
Dr. Thompson was on the radio twice!
We attended 6 different campaing events, including fundraisers, candidate forums, and caravans all over the state including Monkey Island, Claremore, Ft. Gibson, Tahlequah, McAlester, Muskogee, Holdenville, Proctor, & Eufalua.
Letters-to-the-editor about this race were published in Tahlequah, Tulsa World, Muskogee Phoenix, and from there blasted over the big world of the internet. Thank you so much for writing those!
And a lot of other stuff. Good things are happening at such a pace that they're hard to keep track of--praise God!

Final Thought
Tina Gross' letter to the Muskogee Phoenix said: "Constituents of the 2nd District of Oklahoma have a choice for a strong constitutional conservative this year and that man is Dr. Charles Thompson, retired major and DVM from Hulbert.
Charles is a lifelong Oklahoman who will be a true citizen legislator and not a pawn of Nancy Pelosi.
Charles has been a small businessman in Fort Gibson who knows hard work, retiring a major with the Army after 25 years of service.
He strongly supports securing our borders, no more out of control spending that jepordizes our future and believes our Constitution has the “final say on government for the people, “not making the rules up as they go” ... Dan Boren, we want a man who will not miss over 100 votes this last term, who will lead and represent us on the floor of the House not follow Pelosi more than 80 percent of the time and then turn around and say that means he’s listening to us!
Dr. Thompson has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn and will bring that same conservative voice to the U.S. Congress!
He’s not politically correct, he’s PATRIOTically correct for Oklahoma!"

Campaign News
Senator Coburn endorses Dr. Charles Thompson for 2nd Congressional District! We are so excited about this endorsement! Come January there will be a Dr. No in the Senate and a Dr. No in the House!
Michael Bates wrote a blog about the District 2 race. That photo editing is pretty sharp!
We gained our 100th fan on Facebook! Chase Kime gets a gold star! Since then we've added 15 more fans. Go team!
Precinct walking is in full swing! Reply to this email with your precinct number and we will get you materials and a list. Despite all our technological advances, this is still the most effective method of campaigning!
Campaign HQ has its own phone number now. 918-577-6915 Write it down, save it in your phone, and call us for anything you need!
Look What We Did!
We had 2 meet & greets: Thank you Claremore (Jo Rainbolt, Joyce Dermody, Julie Dermody, Ted & Dee Jones, Anna Bavido, & Bill Flanagan!), Coalgate (Kim Strong), and Salina (Charlie and Jo Williams) supporters! Pictures here.
We were at 4 different community events on Saturday alone! We were at the Holdenville Fall Festival, Deer Festival in Antlers, Chickasaw parade in Tishimingo, and Settler's Day in Muldrow.
Throughout the week we did another 4 community events! Which included Ducks Unlimited in Poteau, GOP meeting in Miami, a visit at New Life Ranch, and A Chocolate Affair in Claremore.
We used up 10,000 push cards! That's just Aprill's estimate from how many boxes she emptied supplying supporters and at events she attended. So, that is the smallest, most conservative estimate. Keep handing them out---we'll get more as we need them!
Dr. Thompson was on the radio twice! 1240 AM out of Okmulgee and 1170 AM out of Tulsa.
I missed out on a lot of volunteer names this week. Please, please send me pictures and names after each event you go to! If you or your event was omitted it was from ignorance, not indifference!

Also, look for an interview with Dr. Thompson in Tulsa Today and a press release on Boren's refusal to debate. You can always check thecalender on the website for more events.
Final Thought
This is Anna Bavido's recollection/paraphrase of something Dr. Thompson said in Claremore on Monday.
Our most powerful weapon, our most effective tool is our mouths. Word of mouth, face-to-face contact is more effective than advertising or being in the media. We HAVE to talk about this race everywhere we go. We have to break through our mental barriers and comfort zone and tell people that they have a choice in District 2. This is the only way to beat Dan Boren's name recognition.

Senator Tom Coburn Endorses Dr. Charles Thompson
(Muskogee, OK) October 3rd, 2010---Senator Tom Coburn announced today his endorsement of Dr. Charles Thompson in Oklahoma’s 2nd District Congressional race. The senator said of Dr. Thompson that "As a proud military veteran with years of dedicated service to our country, a small business owner, and a veterinarian, he possesses valuable, real world experience outside of professional politics so desperately needed to change the way Washington works.”
The 2nd Congressional seat was held by Coburn from 1994 until he fulfilled his promise of self-imposed term limits in 2000. He earned high approval ratings both then as a representative and now as a senator from the 2nd District.
Dr. Thompson said he was honored by the announcement. “Senator Coburn's record speaks for itself. He is clearly one of the most constitutionally conservative Senators in the Congress today. I am grateful for his endorsement which clearly shows my conservatism and the fact that the incumbent democrat is vulnerable. I look forward to being Senator Coburn's counterpart in the House of Representatives and serving the people of the 2nd District.”
Senator Coburn also faces a general election battle, but already looks forward to the session starting in January. “Charles recognizes the serious problems we face as a nation and he will be an ally in the House of Representatives when it comes to upholding the Constitution, fighting wasteful spending, and holding career politicians accountable to the American people. His conservative values will best represent us in Congress… Please join me in voting for Dr. Charles Thompson for Congress on Election Day.”
2nd District voters will be able to cast their votes both for Senator Coburn and Dr. Thompson on November 2nd. They must be registered by October 8th in order to vote.
