[Thompson's] tech acumen showed up again last week when -- after months in an unofficial shadow campaign -- Thompson announced he would kick off his official run for the White House with a webcast this Thursday. "By announcing via webcast, Fred is able to take his consistently mainstream conservative message directly to the voters who are already responding to that message with a strong upwelling of grassroots support," Bill Lacy, Thompson's campaign manager, said in a statement....Thompson's highest-profile tech legacy in his congressional record is the establishment of an information-sharing and security infrastructure across the federal government. Thompson was the prime Senate sponsor of a bill called GISRA (Government Information Security Act), signed into law in 2000. It forced government agencies to conduct annual security audits and report the -- usually embarrassing -- bottom line results to the public.
