pportunity: The vice

presidency is an

untapped position in

the executive branch. The VP is

also the president of the Senate,

a power usually ignored. A

trusted VP could act as the

president's COO, using his

knowledge of Congress to

reform and trim the federal

government.

A CEO president

would shake things up with a

VP who is an experienced

legislator committed to hard

work in the administration.

Constitutionally, the vice-

president cannot be fired -- only

impeached by Congress;

therefore, a man of exceptional

integrity is essential.

Rick Santorum, a

veteran senator, has an energetic

national following. While in the

Senate, Santorum was a

reformer. At age 38, he wrote

the landmark 1996 Welfare

Reform law, the only federal

entitlement ever to be ended. He

is experienced in foreign affairs,

pro-life legislation, economic

policy, and military affairs.

A blue-collar

conservative with deep

legislative intelligence,

Santorum inspires hardworking

American families. With his

deep understanding of

constitutional principles and the

mechanics of legislation, he

would be a bold complement to

the President, working with him

to achieve an agenda for

freedom and prosperity.

Santorum, as vice

president, would steer the

President's agenda through the

legislature while also offering

the President advice on the

constitutional order so essential

to American freedom.

America is ready for a

President who is not, and never

has been, a politician. The

people want an effective,

principled, and energetic CEO.

With Vice President Santorum

on the team, President Trump

would have at his side an

experienced legislator who has

long navigated Washington

without becoming part of its

crony culture. This would be the

beginnings of an incredibly

powerful team to make America

great again.

America's founders and

her finest leaders understood

that protecting liberty requires

constant vigilance and a

continued renewal of our

founding spirit. Santorum would

be a strategic partner for

President Trump in restoring

America to the founding

principles of limited and

intelligent government that have

made this nation the last best

hope for mankind.

O

blue-collar

conservative with an

inspiring vision and a

loyal national following, Senator

Santorum has broad appeal in

current toss-up states, especially

Iowa, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

He is a master at the stump and

a tireless campaigner who

inspires people to believe in a

better America.

As vice president,

Santorum would serve as the

president’s COO, adeptly

navigating and negotiating in the

halls of Congress, where he was

an effective, principled, deal-

making politician. Legislatively,

Santorum wades into the weeds.

He knows the game

and he has the mental firepower

to deal with the minute details of

drafting laws. He knows our

nation’s founding documents

and understands what it takes for

liberty to flourish.

What The Critics Are Saying

Rupert Murdoch,

businessman: "Santorum is the

only candidate with genuine

big vision for the country."

David Brooks,

conservative political and

cultural commentator: “While

in Congress, Santorum was a

leader in nearly every… piece of

antipoverty legislation.”

Bono, entertainer and

social activist: “On our issues,

[Santorum] has been a defender

of the most vulnerable."

The Washington Post:

“Santorum was a tea party kind

of guy before there was a tea

party."

Maggie Gallagher,

conservative activist: “In these

days when politicians’

pronouncements are mostly the

focus-grouped blind hoping to

mislead the voting blind, Rick

Santorum dares to say things

that actually matter.”

Ed Schulz, liberal

commentator: “Having seen

Santorum on the stump, he is

as good as President Obama.

I mean, he is a good retail

politic guy. He gets in that

crowd and those people are

believing what he is saying.

He’s got a very unique quality

and he connects with people.”

Michael Tomasky, left

wing writer at the Daily Beast:

Santorum brings “a spark of

feeling in politics that goes

beyond ideology … into a place

where our political selves and

our real and full human selves

collide.”

A

othing speaks louder

than the facts. In his

tenure as a public

servant, the facts show that

Senator Rick Santorum is one

who has certainly served his

country well.

N

here are those who talk

and then there are those

who take action. Few in

elevated places of leadership

possess a track record of results

like Senator Rick Santorum. The

following points are a snapshot

of his overall accomplishments.

A Blue State Winner

+ Rick Santorum first ran for

Congress in 1990 against a 14-

year Democrat incumbent, in a

60% Democrat district, and

through his tireless efforts was

elected to Congress at age 32.

+ In 1992, Santorum was

redistricted – this time into a

70% Democrat district. Despite

President George H.W. Bush

winning just 29% of the vote in

his district, Santorum won with

61% of the vote.

+ After serving two-terms in the

House of Representatives,

Santorum was elected to the

United States Senate in 1994

after he defeated incumbent

Senator Harris Wofford, whose

campaign was led by chief

Clinton strategists James

Carville and Paul Begala.

+ Running for re-election to the

Senate in 2000, Santorum would

become the only incumbent

Senator to win his race in a state

lost by President George W.

Bush – defeating his opponent

52% to 46% despite President

Bush losing Pennsylvania by

more than 5%.

+ In his race for President in

2012, despite being outspent 5:1

by Governor Romney’s

campaign, Senator Santorum

went on to win 11 Republican

primaries and caucuses –

including the Iowa Caucus. His

eventual campaign exit would

still produce the most primary

and caucus wins by any

candidate not to become the

Republican nominee since

Ronald Reagan in 1976.

A Staunch Defender of the

American Worker

+ For his policy positions in

defense of American jobs and

wages, Senator Santorum was

the only Presidential candidate

to initially receive an ‘A’ grade

from the American worker-

protection group NumbersUSA.

+ Santorum believes that low

energy prices and proper

regulatory policies can spur an

American manufacturing

resurgence that will lead to

increased job opportunities for

all, but particularly for the 74%

of Americans without a college

degree.

+ Santorum will push back

against countries and domestic

T

interest groups that promote

trade policies that pressure

American wages and jobs.

While Rick voted for many trade

agreements while in the Senate,

he opposed NAFTA citing

Mexico’s currency manipulation

and its effect on American jobs

and wages.

+ Senator Santorum was a vocal

opponent of the Wall Street

bailouts and stimulus programs

instituted by both President

Bush and President Obama.

A Reformer Who Gets Results

+ Senator Santorum became one

of our nation’s leading

government reformers. During

his tenure in the House of

Representatives, he was a

member of the famous Gang of

7 that took on corruption in the

House Bank and House Post

Office – scandals that would

eventually send members of

both Parties to prison.

+ When he got to the United

States Senate, Rick Santorum

became the floor manager of the

most influential piece of

government reform legislation

since President Johnson’s Great

Society when he authored the

landmark 1996 Welfare Reform

bill. As a result, millions of

Americans left the welfare rolls

and entered the workforce. This

is the only major reform of an

entitlement program in our

nation’s history.

A Leader Ready on Day-One

to be Commander-in-Chief

+ Senator Santorum served 8-

years on the Senate Armed

Services Committee, where he

was chairman of the

subcommittee in charge of

reforming our military into a

post-Cold War fighting force.

+ Senator Santorum was the

author of the Syria

Accountability Act and the Iran

Freedom and Support Act that

imposed tough sanctions on

these rogue regimes over a

decade ago, before the majority

of politicians would even

publicly acknowledge or

understand the threat posed by

these nations and their radical

ideology.

+ Senator Santorum was the

primary Republican sponsor of

President Bush’s PEPFAR that

has delivered priceless

lifesaving aid to African nations

stricken by the AIDS epidemic.

+ After leaving the Senate, Rick

Santorum spent four years at a

think tank traveling the globe,

addressing the rising threat of

Radical Islam.

+ Senator Santorum is a strong

supporter of the state of Israel

and has been singled out for his

support by organizations like

Christians United for Israel and

AIPAC.

A Champion of Faith, Family

and Freedom

+ Rick Santorum and his wife

Karen have been married for 26

years and are the proud parents

of 7 children. Rick was raised by

two parents who worked for the

Veterans Administration,

primarily in Butler,

Pennsylvania. He graduated

from Penn State and obtained

his J.D from the Dickinson

School of Law and his MBA

from the U of Pittsburgh.

+ As a United States Senator,

Rick Santorum was a stalwart

fighter for our children and

families. He is the author of the

Partial Birth Abortion Act that

banned this heinous procedure,

the Unborn Victims of Violence

Act, the Born Alive Infant

Protection Act, and the

Combating Autism Act. In fact,

Santorum is the author of every

major pro-life law passed over

the past 20 years.

+ Senator Santorum authored

the ‘Workplace Religious

Freedom Act’ to ensure

individuals of all faiths would

not be discriminated against in

the workplace. He also founded

the Congressional Working

Group on Religious Freedom to

ensure that the principle of

Freedom of Religion would not

be infringed upon.

In His Own Words

October 2015: “It is time for a

President who will take a blow

torch to the tax code, end the

IRS..., and create a new tax

system for a new century -- a

single-rate system that is honest,

simple and fair."

October 2015: “If you

listen to Republicans, they never

talk about workers. They're

always talking about businesses.

They're always talking about

economic growth."

September 2015: “Our

campaign is really about trying

to help the American worker and

trying to create better jobs for

wage earners."

December 2015: “We

can go out and talk about how

we have to bail out Wall Street

and how we have to bail out

auto companies,” he said, “but

when it comes to providing

worker protection for the lowest

wage workers, we have to be

Adam Smith! No! We need to

say that we're on the side of the

American worker.”
