Citizen Tom

Oops!  Someone observed that Keith Fimian forgot to have an official campaign kickoff.  Well, better late than never.  I guess that is what the Republican Party gets for running a businessman instead of a professional politician. 

Leif Erickson and Christopher Columbus both discovered the New World. The reason why we get Monday off in September for Columbus Day and that there is no “Erickson Day” is that Leif didn’t make a big deal about what he found. Columbus made a splash when he got back to Spain, wrote up his experiences and went on a “book tour” through Europe. He created a buzz about what he found and the rest is history.

Well I’ve been running since November, and I’ve made no secret about our campaign for Congress, but we’ve never publicly launched the campaign. We are not going to repeat Leif’s mistake, and are officially kicking off the campaign with a big “To-Do” on May 17th at the Firehouse in Fairfax.

Senator John Warner, Congressman Tom Davis and other local leaders will be there to celebrate the public beginning of our campaign. I hope you can make it too.

We’ve already made our own buzz about the campaign. FoxNews.com did a story that included our campaign just last week, and the articles about the fight on the Democrat side always include the fact that the Fimian campaign is waiting for the survivor of that contest.

Two other things I’d like to bring to your attention. We have opened a headquarters. The campaign is working out of 10540 Warwick Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22030. Our HQ is a little house with plenty of parking. Please feel free to stop by anytime you’d like for any reason. You can’t miss it since it is painted, a pleasant shade of yellow. We’ll be having a “Grand Opening” at some point in the near future and you’ll be invited.

The final note is to mention two folks who are our Volunteers of the Month. Mike Melillo and Tim Barnes deserve special recognition for being outstanding volunteers this month, in the office 3-4 days every week, making telephone calls and many other grassroots duties. That’s a tough job, and I really appreciate it.

I am constantly humbled by the efforts of our volunteers. I know I can never say “thanks” enough for everything people like you and others have done for me and my campaign, but I want you to know that I will never forget all that you do.

Thank you.

Keith
