Iowans Deserve Answers From Vilsack on “Iowa Press”

Posted: 08 Jun 2012 09:00 AM PDT

(AMES, IA) – The King for Congress campaign today called for answers from 4^th Congressional District candidate Christie Vilsack as she prepares to appear on Iowa Public Television's "Iowa Press."

Iowans deserve answers to the following issues that Christie Vilsack consistently ducks:

Do you support government-run healthcare, ObamaCare, that has cost Iowans in the 4^thCongressional District their jobs, cuts Medicare by $500 billion and puts seniors' health in the hands of 15 unelected bureaucrats?
In an August 24, 1994 column in the Mount Pleasant News, you wrote, "The time has come to make English the official language of this country." Do you still believe English should be the official language of America?
You have criticized Congressman King's vote against the Economic Stimulus Package.Would you have voted in favor of the stimulus package that was filled with pork barrel spending and special interest giveaways that stimulated nothing but the size of the federal government?
Why did you think it was necessary to violate the campaign pledge you and your husband made regarding not accepting money from organizations that lobby the USDA? Does violating this pledge lead to a conflict of interest?
Would you support a bi-partisan Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that ties spending to GDP and requires a super majority vote to raise taxes?
In 2003 you told the Des Moines Register, "Keeping our home and our ties with our hometown (Mount Pleasant) is one of the most important decisions we've made, because it has kept us grounded in what's really important in life – friends, family and community." Why did you decide to move to the 4^th District to run in a district you have never lived in?
Do you support sex-selection abortions (PRENDA)?
Would you agree with President Bill Clinton, who headlined a ritzy New York fundraiser for you, in supporting the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts? Do you want to pass a $494 billion tax hike on to businesses that are trying to create jobs?
Pro-abortion groups such as Emily's List and Planned Parenthood have donated over $100,000 to your campaign. Liberal icons David Axelrod, Bill Daley and Nancy Pelosi have contributed to your campaign. Do you share their values or Iowans' values?

Iowans of the 4^th Congressional District deserve answers. It's time for Christie Vilsack to stop ducking the questions, ditch the vague, head-scratching answers and tell Iowans where she stands on the issues.

Santorum Launches Patriot Voices

Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:43 AM PDT

Chicago, IL – Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum announced today the launch of a new organization, Patriot Voices, which will mobilize one million conservatives around this country who are committed to promoting faith, family, freedom and opportunity.

As a candidate for President, Rick Santorum earned the support of millions of conservatives and energized countless Americans who felt no one was representing their views. Senator Santorum’s 11-state victory reminded voters that conservative values are alive and well all across America.

Patriot Voices, with the goal of recruiting one million members, is a grassroots and online community of Americans from across the country who stand together to affect change that otherwise could not be accomplished alone.

Former Senator Santorum said, “Patriot Voices is committed to promoting faith, family, freedom and opportunity. We believe that we’re one nation under God and all we do must be consistent with the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights. We support candidates who share our convictions and hold those accountable that serve us in elected office. The defeat of Barack Obama, and those who support his policies, will be our first priority.”

“Patriot Voices believes that family is the foundation for a healthy society and a strong economy. We believe in freedom and American exceptionalism; entrepreneurship and opportunity; and personal responsibility. We are also a voice for those who often cannot fight for themselves – the unborn, the disabled, the elderly, and those struggling economically in these difficult times,” Santorum continued.

“With a goal of 1 million voices united, Patriot Voices will transform the political landscape of our country, and we will defeat President Obama this November,” Santorum concluded.

Patriot Voices will also work closely with the Red White and Blue fund to offer financial and other political support to candidates who will stand up for conservative values.

Patriot Voices will focus on the following core issue areas:

We stand for the defeat of Barack Obama and those who support his radical agenda. We cannot afford four more years of his disastrous policies.
We stand for healthy families and a healthy economy. We want to expand opportunities for all Americans by advocating policies that encourage traditional marriage, support children and free enterprise. Healthy families help produce a healthy economy.
We stand for freedom and its defenders. We stand with our military and veterans.We stand with Israel and against the threats and values of Radical Islam, and we believe that the Iranian Regime can never obtain nuclear weapons. We believe in a strong national defense including a missile defense system, which give us the ability to defend ourselves and our allies.
We stand for the repeal of Obamacare and other government dependency programs that infringe on our freedoms, including religious freedom. The overreach of government under President Obama will continue to erode the freedoms that our country was founded on if not stopped.
We stand for renewing America as an economic power by protecting our innovative spirit, restarting our manufacturing capabilities and unleashing America’s domestic energy potential through pro-growth tax and regulatory reforms that also strengthen working families, struggling communities, and our national security.
We will always stand up for the most vulnerable among us- the unborn, the disabled, the elderly and the poor. We believe in the dignity of each and every human life and we will support policies that ensure the value of each person.
