PRESS RELEASE from Newt 2012
March 24, 2012
 
"Rick Santorum deserves credit for coming in first in Louisiana. I am very grateful for the thousands of Louisianians who voted for me tonight; the theme of $2.50 per gallon of gasoline or less, and an American energy policy that ensures no American President will ever again bow to a Saudi king were clearly popular with the people in Louisiana. This is clearly still an open race. So, on behalf of the more than 176,000 Americans who have donated to Newt 2012, I will carry our solution oriented campaign to Tampa.
