Rick Santorum Sent Me An E-Mail

I belong on too many lists:

Dear Patriot,

Last night we came one step closer to taking our party and our country back! Last night, you showed America that you refuse to be deceived by negative ads, big money, and the left wing media.

Conservatives united and we won Alabama and Mississippi! On the heels of our overwhelming win in Kansas, we showed the establishment that their line of inevitability is not inevitable.

You proved them wrong. Again.

...For months, the media and the establishment have told conservatives like us that we don't have a choice – Mitt Romney will be our nominee, whether we like it or not. They want to silence our campaign, but most importantly they don't want your voice to be heard.

Well, I'm here to tell you that last night conservatives spoke out and turned the campaign upside down. We finally have the one on one race with Mitt Romney that we have wanted for months. It's a brand new ballgame.

Our victories last night proved that conservatives are not going to be told what to do by the media or the moderate establishment. Believer it or not, 2 out of every 3 ads that were run in these states were spent on Mitt Romney's behalf, and mostly against us. Romney had the entire moderate establishment behind him. The media said that his victory was inevitable.

But when the votes were counted, even with being outspent big time and all the power of the establishment working for Romney, the people of Mississippi and Alabama stood with the guy from Pennsylvania. They stood with the grandson of a coal miner, the candidate who understands the importance of faith and family – the candidate who understands the centrality of conservatism and freedom in our lives.

...With your help we will nominate a conservative, take the fight to Barack Obama, and get our country back on the right track. I hope you will join us.
