Atlanta, GA - Rev. Donald E. Wildmon,
founder
and chairman of American Family Association and American Family Radio,
announced his endorsement today of Newt Gingrich for President of
the
United States.
"Newt Gingrich recognizes the threat to our
country posed by judges and lawyers imposing values upon the country
inconsistent with our religious heritage, and has proposed
constitutional steps to bring the courts back in balance under the
constitution,” Wildmon said today.
He added, “We need someone
in the White House who can balance the budget and get the economy
moving again. Newt has done it before and I believe he can do it
again. I am proud to endorse Newt Gingrich for president.”
Wildmon
is the Founder and Chairman Emeritus of American Family Association
(AFA) and American Family Radio (AFR). AFA is recognized as “one
of
the largest and most effective pro-family organizations in the
country.” AFR has 190 radio stations in 20 states, six of which are in
Iowa, including Burlington, Dubuque, Mason City, Ottumwa, Sioux City
and Waverly.
“Don Wildmon has been one of the most important
leaders in the country in the battle to uphold our founding
principles. I am humbled and honored to have his endorsement,”
said
Gingrich.
Wildmon lives in Tupelo, Mississippi, where AFA and AFR headquarters
are located. He will stump for Newt Gingrich in Iowa in advance of the
Iowa Caucus on January 3rd.
