Verona, PA - Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced today that he and his family will embark on a three week, "Courage to Fight for American Values" tour of Iowa, crisscrossing Iowa to meet with Iowans from all corners of the state as well as take part in many of the summer family traditions Iowa has to offer. The Santorum family will begin their journey on July 26th and will tour Iowa through the August 13th Ames Straw Poll.
"We are excited about the opportunity to spend our summer in Iowa," said Senator Santorum. "The reception I have received from the people of Iowa over the past year has been wonderful, and I cannot wait for my entire family to experience the many sites and sounds our heartland has to offer. This is a crucial time in our nation's history, and the people of Iowa play a key role in helping to put our nation back on track. We need to have the courage to fight for the values that made America the greatest nation in the history of the world and my entire family looks forward to continuing our dialogue about the issues facing our families, our communities, and our country."
