Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to announce it has received the endorsement of singer, author, and conservative activist Pat Boone.
 
"I am excited to endorse Rick Santorum for President. I've known Rick for many years and Rick has been a consistent defender of conservatism and the values our great nation was founded upon.  I began supporting my friend, Ronald Reagan in the 1960's and I was a Reagan delegate at the 1976 convention because I saw in him a strong leader who would defend traditional America. I see many of those same qualities in Rick Santorum. He's experienced, honest, and deeply principled. Rick will make a brave and capable commander-in-chief, and I look forward to working with his campaign to retire Barack Obama this fall."
 
Rick Santorum said: "I am proud to receive Pat's endorsement today.  Pat has been a stalwart advocate for conservatism dating back to his days campaigning for Ronald Reagan in California.  I always enjoyed working with Pat during my time in the Senate and look forward to working with him moving forward as we look to restore core American principles to the Oval Office this November."
