Rick Santorum, a
native of Pennsylvania, was a candidate for the Republican nomination for
president of the United States in 2012 and became known as a voice for
conservatives who didn’t feel they were being represented. In June 2012 he
launched Patriot Voices, a grassroots and online community of Americans committed
to promoting faith, family, freedom, and opportunity. Prior to running for president,
Santorum served in the House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995, and in the Senate
from 1995 to 2007, where he was known as one of the most successful government
reformers in our history. An accomplished author, Santorum penned the 2005 New York Times bestseller It Takes a Family.
