The 1991 death of Pennsylvania’s bright and rising star, Senator John Heinz, gave rise to a feeling of despair among Pennsylvania Republicans -- that a person like Heinz rarely comes along more often than once in every few generations. His tragic death robbed Pennsylvanians of a source of pride, and trust in Senatorial leadership that was found missing in his replacement, Democrat Harris Wofford. As bright and vibrant as Heinz was, Wofford was cold, and lifeless.
Enter Rick Santorum. After twelve years in the Senate, Santorum has built a reputation of his own. No comparison to Heinz is valid…Santorum has set his own standards. He is young, energetic, and vibrant, with a marvelous intellect, and a track record that most candidates would be proud to run on, yet few have the outstanding record Santorum has. From Agriculture to Veterans, from Energy to Social Security, few have done as much to help Pennsylvania’s citizens, and families -- and that includes everyone from the oldest family member down to, and including the family pet!
Rick Santorum has demonstrated a quiet competency and is recognized for his leadership in the Senate…he leads by example. Rick Santorum does not need to be on all the evening news channels with sound bites every night…that’s a compulsion of the left. Instead, we see Senator Santorum leaving the White House after an advisory meeting with the President and Congressional leadership, or working on a western Pennsylvania construction project with his sleeves rolled up.
Rick Santorum is a family man with family values, the kind of compassionate family values that made “Red Counties” red in the last election. That’s the CENTRIST’s kind of values, too.
Rick Santorum is for low taxes, less government, farmland preservation, and has worked hard to make Pennsylvania agriculture important again. He believes it takes a family to raise a child, not a village.
Have you ever had your doctor’s prescription denied by your insurance company because they don’t think it’s the right drug for you? Some things really get the CENTRIST’s gears grinding and that is one of them. It is the height of hubris to overrule a physician’s treatment plan. Rick Santorum believes this is something that needs to be changed, in order to provide the kind of doctor-patient health care free from intrusion and interference.
Senator Rick Santorum has shown the kind of leadership that becomes, over time, the respected solid leadership of a national statesman. Senators come and go (unless they are from Massachusetts or the Carolinas), and we fervently hope that Senator Santorum will be around the Senate (or higher!) for a long time to come. He will help make Pennsylvanians safe, secure, prosperous and proud.
THE CENTRIST warmly and strongly endorses Senator Rick Santorum for reelection to the United States Senate! Vote Santorum for U.S. Senate in 2006!
