Welcome to Draft Rick Santorum for President in 2012 website!
Following the 2010 election, my attention immediately turned to
2012.
Taking back the House of Representatives was not enough. It’s time to
take back this country by putting an end to Barack Obama’s radical
agenda. In order to do this, we need to elect a strong fiscal and
social conservative who can unify all factions of the party, including
the Tea Party. After considering all of the candidates, I believe Rick
Santorum is that candidate.
However, it is not enough to decide which candidate you prefer. You
need to take action! At DraftRickSantorum.com, we urge you to help
promote a Rick Santorum candidacy for President. In today’s digital
age, it is easier than ever before. Join Rick’s Facebook page. Follow
him on Twitter. Subscribe to his YouTube channel. Join his email list.
Learn about his vision for America and help spread the word.
...
At DraftRickSantorum.com, our goal is to build an online community that
will actively promote a Rick Santorum
presidential run. We need your help! We are looking for state
coordinators who will volunteer their time to help identify supporters
and spread this message in their state. Do you have time to contribute
to blogs (RedState, this one), and tweet for Rick? We will take
whatever time you are willing to give. This is a grassroots movement
driven by citizens like you.

College Student Launches DraftRickSantorum.com
Provo, Utah – January 18, 2010 – BYU student Tom Schultz launched a website this weekend, DraftRickSantorum.com, to help identify and mobilize supporters and volunteers in the early caucus and primary states who support former Senator Rick Santorum.
Schultz recently made headlines when he created a website to try and influence the election to replace Michael Steele as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Schultz also recently worked for his brother, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, on his campaign.
Tom Schultz wants to show that young voters want to be a part of the political process in the upcoming presidential election. “I want to prove that young voters can make a difference. I want to support a real fiscal and social conservative for President, and I think Rick Santorum is the candidate we need to take on Barack Obama and the liberals in this country,” said Schultz.
Former Senator Rick Santorum has recently considered running for
President and Schultz hopes this website will help encourage him to
seek the Republican nomination for the presidency.
Ed. Notes
>This was a modest three-month endeavor; after Santorum announced
his testing the waters committee, draftricksantorum.com directed people
to that site.
