Did You Know...

-Rick Santorum believes our nation's security must be our foremost priority. As a U.S. Senator, Rick worked to defend our role as a global leader in the 
fight to preserve democracy and human rights. He has 
stood up to foreign dictators, authoring the "Syria 
Accountability Act" and the "Iran Freedom and Support 
Act" to impose sanctions on these rogue nations and 
promote democracy around the globe.

-Rick recognizes that free market principles are the 
most effective way to remedy our ailing economy, 
and that we must reduce the size of government by 
cutting taxes and keeping our fiscal house in order. 
While in Congress, Rick Santorum fought to maintain 
fiscal sanity in a city spiraling toward national 
bankruptcy, fighting for a balanced budget and a line 
item veto. He spearheaded the tax cuts in 2001 and 
2003 that helped to rebound our economy following 
the September 11th attacks.

-Rick believes that we must protect those who are 
the most vulnerable. And he's fought tirelessly for 
those who can't fight for themselves. It was his 
legislation that outlawed the heinous procedure 
known as Partial Birth Abortion. He also championed 
the successful fight to pass the "Born Alive Infants 
Protection Act," the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," 
and the "Combating Autism Act." Rick was also a 
leader in the effort to pass the landmark 1996 Welfare 
Reform Act that has empowered millions of Americans 
to leave the welfare rolls and enter the workforce.

-Rick is a Senior Fellow at The Ethics and Public 
Policy Genter, the Friday host of Bill Bennett's 
"Morning in America" nationally-syndicated radio 
program, a contributor on the Fox News Channel 
and a columnist with The Philadelphia Inquirer. But 
of all his accomplishments, Rick is most proud of his 
role as a husband and father. Rick and his wife Karen 
are the parents of seven wonderful children: Elizabeth, John, Daniel, Sarah, Maria, Peter, Patrick and Isabella.
