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
State Senator Randy Brogdon endorses Dr. Charles Thompson for Congress! The Thompson team greatly admires Sen. Brogdon's commitment and passion for the expansion of freedom. His endorsement is truly an honor!
Press Release: Dr. Charles Thompson Denied Debates: Dan Boren refuses to debate Dr. Thompson. This is not fair to the voters of the 2nd District. We need to be able to seriously compare the candidates---Boren knows his faults would be too obvious, so he denies us the chance to compare!
Statement from Chairman Pinnell: Matt Pinnell, chairman of the state Republican Party issued this statement about Boren's lack of cooperation regarding debates.
Billboards are up! And we are already getting positive feedback from them! If you drive past one, pull over & snap your picture in front of it. We'll post it on Facebook!
Look What We Did!
Dr. Thompson did 3 interviews. Watch the Muskogee Phoenix, Tulsa Today, & OKforTea for these articles & interviews.
We attended 6 community events in Wilburton, Durant, Tahlequah, McAlester, Broken Bow, Okmulgee, & Muskogee. Thank you, thank you to all the volunteers who made these events spectacular!
We continued to raise money! Special thanks go to Eddie Huff, Jerry & Jan Champion, and Jo Rainbolt for a successful fundraiser in Claremore!

Final Thought
We ask a lot of our volunteers and you have answered time and time again, "YES!" You are truly a heaven-sent blessing! You have given your time, your money, opened up your homes, and put miles on your cars. But the most important thing you have given us is your prayers. If someone could only do 1 thing for the campaign, we would ask them to pray. Prayer is the most effective and powerful weapon in this campaign, as it is in all of life. Please consider this newsletter to be a prayer list. Thank God for each person that has helped the campaign this past week. Pray for the people who are reading the news releases. Pray for each event listed. And of course pray for Charles and Aprill and their family as they give everything they've got to these final weeks. Pray, pray, PRAY!

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!

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.

Final Thought
Jim Martin posted this on the Facebook page. "I love our National Anthem. I love the shameless way tears appear in the eyes of our military as they mourn those who have made the supreme sacrifice. I still feel the burning tears and lump in my throat when we were awaken by the National Anthem being played by Okmulgee's High School Band on the morning after 9/11. Tears of pain for our country’s terrible loss, and yet tears of pride for what this country is all about. I love that I been able to visit nearly all 50 states, and learned that in spite of regional accents, there is one word that everyone says the same, GOD. I love my God and the teaching of my church. I love my country, wife and kids. I love those who wear an American Flag Pin with pride and honor, without worrying about offending some country or group who would in turn destroy us if given the chance. I love that there are men and women of faith with strong conservatives principles, who believe as we do. God Bless America, and my friend Major Thompson!"---Jim Martin
