Hogan Gidley, Rick Santorum National Communications Director Statement On Winning The Louisiana Republican Presidential Primary

LOUISIANA SHAKES UP THE REPUBLICAN RACE ONCE AGAIN
Bayou Blowout Sends A Clear Message That This Two Man Race Is Just Beginning
 
Verona, PA - In today's Louisiana Republican Presidential Primary, Republican voters overwhelmingly chose Rick Santorum to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States.

Hogan Gidley, National Communications Director, said: "There is no other way to interpret tonight's results but as vindication for Rick Santorum's consistent, conservative message of strengthening our nation based on our founding values.  Louisiana voters overwhelmingly rejected Mitt Romney's push to press the reset button, because they know that we need a clear contrast to President Obama's disastrous policies.  The entire Santorum campaign, and the conservative movement, is excited by tonight's results, that stand in the face of the media's and the establishment's declaration that we must fall in line with a moderate from Massachusetts.  We thank the voters of Louisiana and look forward to bringing our campaign's message of returning to our founding principles to the people."

Rick Santorum Responds to the Claim he Would Vote for President Obama

SANTORUM RESPONDS TO CLAIM HE WOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA
 
Verona, PA - Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum made the following comment in reaction to the claim he would vote for President Obama.

Rick Santorum said: "I would never vote for Barack Obama over any Republican and to suggest otherwise is preposterous. This is just another attempt by the Romney Campaign to distort and distract the media and voters from the unshakeable fact that many of Romney's policies mirror Barack Obama's.  I was simply making the point that there is a huge enthusiasm gap around Mitt Romney and it's easy to see why - Romney has sided with Obama on healthcare mandates, cap-and-trade, and the Wall Street bailouts.  Voters have to be excited enough to actually go vote, and my campaign's movement to restore freedom is exciting this nation.  If this election is about Obama versus the Obama-Lite candidate, we have a tough time rallying this nation.  It's time for bold vision, bold reforms and bold contrasts. This election is about more than Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, or Rick Santorum - this campaign is about freedom and I will fight to restore your freedoms."

Rick Santorum To Celebrate "Land Of Lincoln" Primary Where Lincoln Articulated Our Nation's Greatest Sacrifice For Freedom

SANTORUM TO CELEBRATE "LAND OF LINCOLN" PRIMARY WHERE LINCOLN ARTICULATED OUR NATION'S GREATEST SACRIFICE FOR FREEDOM
 
Verona, PA - Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum will hold an election night party in Gettysburg, PA - site of the largest battle ever held in the Western Hemisphere and where President Abraham Lincoln gave his most poignant and passionate defense of our Founder's vision of freedom.

Hogan Gidley, National Communications Director, said: "Tomorrow marks the Republican Primary in the 'Land of Lincoln.' Rick Santorum has chosen to celebrate the evening at the very place President Lincoln gave his most poignant and passionate defense of freedom and the American spirit - Gettysburg, PA.   This week marks the two year anniversary of the passage of ObamaCare - and we are again fighting for freedom. But this time we are not asking the American people to put on the uniform of their country, but stand up as citizens - to stand up to the freedom infringement of this Administration and for a candidate and a message focused on empowering the American people. This night will mark an important turn toward the second half of this primary season, with a renewed focus on freedom, empowerment, and nominating a candidate who can draw clear contrasts with President Obama. Rick Santorum is the one candidate who can do that and he will proudly make that declaration of freedom in the tiny Pennsylvania town where so many gave their 'last full measure' in defense of those freedoms."
