SPECIAL MESSAGE
As you know, American Values, my non-profit public policy organization, cannot endorse candidates for public office. However, I also run a political action committee, Campaign for Working Families (CWF). I am sending you this special message from CWF so I can inform you about a major announcement I made this weekend. — Gary
After careful consideration and prayer, I decided to publicly endorse Senator Rick Santorum yesterday in Greenville, South Carolina.
My intention had been to avoid an endorsement this cycle. But in recent days it has become obvious that conservative voters are deeply divided about who should carry the banner for our values into the 2012 election. I have been receiving an increasing number of questions from our grassroots supporters around the country seeking guidance on which candidate they should support. I feel it is imperative that I take the lead now.
As you know, I believe virtually all of these candidates are men who would be fantastic presidents. My endorsement of Rick Santorum is in no way meant to be critical of the others. But I believe Santorum can best articulate the Reagan conservatism that has defined my political life and holds the best hope for the future our children and grandchildren will inherit. Rick Santorum is unambiguously pro-life and pro-family.
The election of our next president in 2012 will be the most important election of my generation. Campaign for Working Families will continue to build a war chest to ensure our values prevail in November. I believe the candidate best able to do that is Rick Santorum. But let me assure you that we will deploy our resources for whoever is selected as the nominee.
Thank you for all you do to empower my work in Washington, D.C.
