RICK SANTORUM-THE ULTIMATE TEA PARTY GUY
AUTHOR AND FLOOR MANAGER OF '96 WELFARE REFORM ACT
You want a better economy? Give it to Rick Santorum--he will fight for it and his record has shown he can move Washington DC to work for "We the People"--PUTTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO WORK!
Sen. Chuck Grassley explained to the Des Moines Register that he was unconvinced about welfare reform until Santorum paid him an office call and “took a lot of time to convince me of his point of view. . . . The sincerity and effort that he has to get his point across in the presidential campaign is almost a total reflection of how he operated as a United States senator.” Grassley yielded and voted for reform.
This is what happened because Rick Santorum authored and managed the passing of that landmark Welfare Reform:
Increased Employment
Since the mid-1990s, employment rate of single mothers increased dramatically. Again, contrary to conventional wisdom, employment increased most rapidly among the most disadvantaged, least employable groups:
* Employment of never-married mothers increased nearly 50 percent.
* Employment of single mothers who are high school dropouts rose by two-thirds.
* Employment of young single mothers (ages 18 to 24) nearly doubled.
Overall poverty, child poverty, black child poverty, poverty of single mothers, and child Hunger declined substantially. Employment of single mothers increased dramatically, and welfare rolls plummeted. The share of children living in single-mother families fell, and -- more important -- the share of children living in married-couple families grew, especially among black families.
He saw to it that Washington D.C. worked for "WE THE PEOPLE" -PUTTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO WORK! OPEN YOUR EYES AMERICA. See why Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, James Dobson, Phyllis Schlafly and other passionate true conservatives are praising Rick Santorum.
As one voter said"Santorum has shown to me by his record, not only does he believe that... but he has gotten it done"! MPR News 12-31-11.
