Santorum Rally 2-29-12, a set on Flickr.
We arrived just before 11:00 am - myself, my friend from church, Gene Earl, and my fellow NY ex-pat, Eddie Foley. When the doors opened, I was amazed that we were able to secure seats up front, Eddie and I with an intetion to photograph the event.
Beforehand, I met Kelly Jo Bates. She and her family are friends with the Duggars, and the Bates have 18 children. I went up to thank her for being a good role model of Christian motherhood, and to give my regards to Michelle Duggar. I have no issue with people having as many children as they want, when they are raising them without assistance.
Rick was NOT some "brinstone and hell fire" preahcer, telling us the Devil is a-foot in the United States. Instead, he was a rational speaker, advocating the return to "bottom up" growth in America, meaning limited government.
He also talked about a moral composition of America - we became great when we did not ask what we wanted to do . . . but what we ought to do. Like it or not, you have a moral responsibility to work to make this country great . . . again.
I got to meet him and said to him, "Thanks, Rick, for defending Mother Church." He looked at me and said, "Everyday!"
Santorum in 2012!
