Santorum Campaign Press Release - Congressman Robert Aderholt Endorse Rick Santorum For President

Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to announce that it has received the endorsement of Congressman Robert Aderholt of Alabama.

Congressman Aderholt said: "In Rick Santorum we have a leader who reveres America's Founding Principles because they are his foundation, a leader who understands the importance of manufacturing to economic growth because it is his history, and a leader with proven front-line success standing for freedom, for fiscal integrity and against Washington corruption. Rick Santorum has never just talked-the-talk, but he has walked-the-walk - inside and outside the halls of Congress. Rick Santorum has never just fought for the 1%, the 95% or the 99% of Americans, Rick Santorum has fought for a better future for all Americans. I am proud to endorse Rick Santorum for President."

Rick Santorum said: "I am thrilled to receive Congressman Aderholt's endorsement today. He has been a strong leader and defender of our nation from cyber-attacks and for our diplomatic ties with Europe. I am looking forward to working with the Congressman as the contest in Alabama draws near. I am confident that with his help, our message of traditional values, free-markets, and a strong national defense will propel our campaign to victory in the weeks ahead."

The task force, a new panel for the 112^th Congress, is charged with examining current policies and laying the foundation to address the Nation's cybersecurity initiatives. He is also a member of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (also known as the Helsinki Commission).
