You can help spread Fred's message by reading items posted on the blogs and commenting. When inaccurate information is posted on a blog, Fred Smith supporters can help set the record straight using the information available on the campaign website at JoinFred.com. Information on various issues is posted on the website under the topic headings such as immigration, spending, etc.
