PRESS RELEASE from Iowa

BREAKING: Iowa FFC Statement on GOP Presidential Endorsement
November
30, 2011
You
may have seen recent news reports ( http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2011/11/27/iowas-social-conservatives-mull-unified-endorsement/
) about the efforts by conservative leaders in Iowa
to come to some general consensus about the who should be the GOP
nominee to face off against President Obama next November. I was
invited to attend an initial meeting and did
so because our greatest hope is to restore America’s greatness and founding principles and
we believe that changing the occupant of the White House is a major
step towards setting our country back on the path towards conservative
values.
Soon
after that meeting, I told Jason Noble of the Des Moines Register that
the Iowa Faith &
Freedom Coalition would not endorse a candidate. I believe that it is
the role of our members and supporters to
endorse the candidate of their choice. There are many strong
conservative candidates running and
while none of them are perfect, our October 22nd Banquet highlighted
for me just how blessed we are to have so many strong pro-life, pro-family, pro-national security and
pro-freedom candidates running for the GOP nomination.
I
will continue to reach out to and encourage
all of the campaigns to speak a bold conservative message that unites
values voters, economic conservatives and
national security hawks.

Scheffler, President, Iowa Faith
