Rick Santorum's Voting Record

This is a series of articles which gives voting record information about 2012 presidential candidates.  Most of the references given are from thomas.loc.gov, an official government website which is part of the Library of Congress.  Hopefully, this information will help you to make a decision about who you are going to vote for.  Also included is a brief biography and information about endorsements made by the candidate.  Today's candidate is Rick Santorum.  Click here to read part 1.

Rick Santorum served in the U.S. House from 1990-1994 and Senate from 1994-2006.  He was a Republican Deputy Whip.  Santorum is Catholic.

Abortion

Santorum voted for the partial birth abortion ban. [1] 

He voted for the Hyde Amendment to prevent most abortions from being federally funded. [2]  But he voted [3-5] for at least three Department of Health and Human Services appropriations bills which allowed taxpayer money to be used to pay for some abortions (for example, in cases of rape and incest).  These bills contained no provision that abortion providers (such as Planned Parenthood) could not also obtain these funds also for other purposes. [6-8]

Santorum did not cosponsor the Right to Life to Act [9-10] or the Life at Conception Act [11] or any other bill protecting or recognizing the personhood of the unborn from conception.

He has consistently declined to support the National Right to Work Act which would prevent workers from being forced to join a union. [1-4]

Education

Santorum voted to prohibit foreign students on F-1 visas from obtaining free public elementary or secondary education. [1] He voted to establish a pilot program to collect information relating to nonimmigrant foreign students. [2]

But Santorum voted for the blatantly unconstitutional No Child Left Behind Act, which increased federal funding and control over the public school system. [3]

He voted for the Goals 2000: Educate America Act (more unconstitutional federal meddling in the education system), “A bill to improve learning and teaching by providing a national framework for education reform; to promote the research, consensus building, and systemic changes needed to ensure equitable educational opportunities and high levels of educational achievement for all American students; to provide a framework for reauthorization of all Federal education programs; to promote the development and adoption of a voluntary national system of skill standards and certifications, and for other purposes.” [4]

Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech

Santorum did not cosponsor the Veterans' Memorials, Boy Scouts, Public Seals, and Other Public Expressions of Religion Protection Act of 2006, which would have prevented the ACLU and other similar groups from receiving lawyer’s fees from the taxpayers when they win cases having to do with supposed violations of the “Separation of Church and State”.

Santorum’s (Worst) Endorsements

Rick Santorum endorsed and campaigned for Arlen Specter [1], one of the most God-hating Senators we have ever had.  Pro-abortion [2], pro-gay rights [3] Specter spearheaded the effort to kill the nomination of strict constructionist Robert Bork to the Supreme Court when Reagan was President.  [1] “He's with us on the issues that matter," said Santorum.  [4]  Specter has always been openly in favor of abortion funding (for example, he voted “no” on restricting UN funding for population control policies [2]).  After Specter switched parties, he voted for Obamacare. [5]

Santorum has also endorsed and campaigned for partial birth abortion supporter Christie Todd Whitman. [6]

Santorum was also a campaign volunteer for Senator John Heinz. [7] Heinz was a liberal. He supported normalizing relations with Cuba during the Nixon administration. He also criticized the deployment new weapons as a tactic in arms limitations talks with the Soviet Union. He was also a supporter of many socialist programs in education, human welfare, health care and housing.  He got caught accepting $6,000 in illegal corporate campaign money from Gulf Oil during his successful campaign for the U.S. Senate.  [8] After Senator Heinz died, his wife Teresa, heiress of the H.J. Heinz (the catsup company) fortune married the Senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry. [9]

Did you know 400K people took part in Monday’s D.C. Pro-Life March for Life?

I saw very little coverage of this growing annual event in the main stream media. However, I did watch online and saw a huge turnout. The weather was cold and rainy. The commitment of the Pro-Life supporters is phenomenal. The dying old mainstream media refuses to present honest accounts of any Pro-Life or Pro-Conservative cause(s). There is a distinct bias in the media against the right. In fact, the media is one of the chief campaigners for the current occupier of the White House.

NewsBusted: NBC – The Big Bias Broadcaster!

Hopefully, Tonight Will Be President Obama’s Last SOTU Address!

I googled this question, “Is this President Obama’s Last State of the Union Address?” The first response that I received was an RT.com article, “Obama's last State of the Union?” In part the answer I received embedded in that article was, “

Pending the outcome of the presidential election in November, Tuesday night’s State of the Union address could very well be Barack Obama’s last.

Will President Obama bring up the federal budget tonight? This is really one of the key failure that the President shares with his fellow Democrats in the Senate. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), made the following key criticism in his op ed, “Obama needs fiscal 'courage'” in the 1/24/2012 edition of the U.S.A. Today.

The President ignores the scandal plaguing the Democrat Senate. His State of the Union actually marks a milestone:  1,000 days since we last saw a budget plan form the Senate’s Democrat majority.

On their website the U.S. House Republican Study Committee (RSC) posted this video:

My congressman, who is the Chairman of the RSC , Jim Jordan suggested that Americans will be looking for answers to three big questions when listening to President Obama's SOTU and revved up campaign stump speech tonight:

1.   Where are the jobs?

2.   Why aren’t we using all the energy resources we have available?

3.   How can we stop this crazy spending and borrowing?

I, along with Representative Jordan and many other Americans, especially conservatives, think that the President is more interested in campaigning against House Republicans than in any bipartisan problem-solving. Will we merely hear more campaign rhetoric and empty, flimsy promises? Will there be anything substantive in the President’s TelePrompTed words? Will Valarie Jarrett and his speech writer give us anything for the good of the nation as a whole, or continue to provide assurances to the Democrat Party’s and President’s radical base and to giving sole support for his re-election effort?

Roe v. Wade 39th Anniversary: TooManyAborted.com

Hat tip goes to the RadianceFoundation.org which produced the video below. This is certainly timely in light of the recent 39th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

Crowning Rewards

The most important part of human life is the Lord Jesus Christ.  With Him we have eternal life.  Without Him there is only eternal death, permanent separation from God.  As John the Apostle has written:

And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (I John 5:11-13).

With Jesus we can do good works which glorify God.  Paul wrote that God has before ordained works for us to do. 

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

One day we shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ (Romans 4:10c). For it is written:

As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14:11-12).

For the good works we do we shall receive rewards.  Among these are crowns:

1.       The Crown of Righteousness  II Timothy 4:8

2.      The Crown  of Life Revelation 2:10; James 1:12

3.      The Crown of Glory I Peter 5:4

4.      The Crown of Rejoicing I Thessalonians 2:19

Would you like a Crown?  First, you need to receive Jesus into your heart.  Then, we are to live in obedience to Him.  A sample prayer to receive Jesus is, “Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sin and come into my heart.”

The Tawdry ‘Religious’ Left

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, here comes the irreligious left to  ‘celebrate’ of all things the heinous Roe v. Wade SCOTUS decision, touting the joys and wonders of murdering innocent babies!

76 people or organizations donated to place a banner ad (see below) on Cleveland.com website this morning. They have scheduled to place additional ads in major newspapers in Ohio including the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cincinnati Inquirer, and Columbus Dispatch in ‘honor’ of the 39th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade! That is downright despicable!

These so-called ‘religious’ people would fit in well in wartime Germany, wouldn’t they? Just yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the infamous Vannsee Conference.  Vannsee in Berlin, Germany is where in 1942 the infamous meeting of Nazi officials was held which decided upon the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” According to the Anti-Defamation League website “Many religious people in Germany at that time either stood aside while their fellow human beings were being murdered for no other reason than they were unwanted and despised and inconvenient or they participated in this tragedy.”  You can read about that Conference here:

30 years after the vile Vannsee Conference in Germany was held, our own black-robed grim reapers in a courthouse in Washington, D.C. issued a capital punishing sentence to 54+ million innocent babies, black, white, Hispanics, Native Americans, female and male. These babies, too, were condemned to death for being unwanted, despised, and inconvenient.  And much of the American church and ‘religious’ people not only stand by, but support and encourage this legalized genocide.

This ad is disgraceful, shameful and not at all representative of the tenets of most faiths, especially that of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Notice their wicked message, which is written with the blood of slaughtered millions of innocents. Hitler and the secular humanist religious of his day would have agreed. But I bet the babies wouldn't agree!

"We Believe Reproductive Freedom is a vital part of Religious Liberty and Human Dignity."

A picture perfect finish for South Carolina GOP Primary

Rick Santorum  –  31%

Newt Gingrich  –  29%

Ron Paul  –  21%

Romney  –  19%

Wouldn’t a finish like the one imagined above in today's South Carolina Republican Primary just frost the Left, the Main Stream Media, Organizing for America, and the GOP establishment?

After Romney's poor performance in Monday's Fox News debate, and with strong performances by both Gingrich and Santorum and the typical steady Paul performance, in Thursday's CNN debate, the above scenario is very possible. South Carolina is a very conservative state and hopefully the conservatives will all show up today and vote. However, above result is not the outcome that the Media and the Obama Campaign has orchestrated, but it is realistic.

With Santorum and Gingrich finishing one-two in South Carolina, along with Paul all finishing ahead of Romney, it would really put conservatives in a great position going into the Florida Primary. It would be an especially big blow to the moneyed candidacies of Willard Mitt Romney and Dr. Ron Paul. Most of America does not want Romney, who is perceived to be weak and wishy-washy, just another John McCain, or worse. My top choice of the candidates that remain are: Santorum or a CTBNL (a conservative-to-be-named-later). Gingrich, Paul, and especially Romney and Obama are all unacceptable candidates for one reason or another.

America wants and needs a conservative in 2012 if she has any hope to change our slide toward total European socialism and eventual oblivion. This South Carolina GOP Primary could be a turning point, a real trend-setter.

First Vannsee in Germany, then Roe v. Wade in America!

Twin Evils: The Jewish Holocaust (L) and the American Holocaust (R)

The Jewish Holocaust

Dr. Juergen Buehler, Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), wrote the following item, which I read this morning in the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners daily briefing that I received.

11 million. That was the number of Jews sentenced to death (during) a brief 90-minute lunch meeting at a beautiful lakeside villa near Berlin 70 years ago. Over the course of the next two days the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem will be hosting a high-ranking delegation of German and Austrian Christian leaders for a series of events marking the 70th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, the infamous meeting of Nazi officials which decided upon the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question."

Held on January 20, 1942 and attended by 15 high-ranking Nazi bureaucrats, the Wannsee Conference set in motion the implementation of a plan to for the systematic, industrial murder of all the Jews within Germany's reach in Europe and north-west Africa.

The fate of 11 million Jews, followed by a glass of Cognac.

It is important that we remember that the Nazi officials who deliberated at Villa Wannsee over their ghastly plans for exterminating European Jewry were all well-educated, with at least half of them holding doctorate degrees. Some were also the sons of Protestant ministers, yet not one of them raised any moral objections to this heinous plot…

German Christian leaders have come to Jerusalem to deliver a critical message to the world that the abhorrent evil of Nazism represented by the Wannsee Conference must never be allowed to rise again…

For more information read the more extensive article by David Parsons, who is also of the ICEJ, in the article, ”German Christians mark the 70th Anniversary of the 'Final Solution' at Yad Vashem.”

The American Holocaust

Isn’t it ironic that the Jewish Holocaust of 70 years ago was launched almost exactly 30 years before America’s own on-going Holocaust? One was started by an elite group of Nazi officials and bureaucrats in Germany. The other, more recent genocide was decreed in black-robed grim reapers in a courtroom in Washington, D.C. 30 years later.

As evil and heinous as the original Jewish holocaust was, in terms of numbers, the murder of 11 million persons the Jewish Holocaust, it pales by comparison to the bloody American Atrocity of aborted lives (54 million or 5 times as many casualties as the Jewish Holocaust). In America, one of our key founding documents clearly states that all persons have been endowed by the Creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, we stand by while 54 million innocent babies (and counting) are viciously murdered. This bloodshed is the a direct result of the wicked, unethical, unnatural, inhumane ‘legalizing of abortion’ decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton made by the so-called U.S. Supreme Court!   

So during this weekend, it is good take time to remember and to contemplate the great evil that man is capable of doing. It is also a good time to review what steps one can take to reverse this perverse situation.

Personal Plan of Action

We can join in on any of the planned March for Life or memorial services taking place this weekend across the nation.

We can join in on Family Research Council’s Pro Life Con on Monday January 23, 2012 in Washington, D.C. or on the Internet.

We can educate ourselves of this critical issue.

We can offer financial or volunteer support to Pro-Life organizations such as:

·         Abortion No Center for Bioethical Reform

·         Americans United for Life

·         Care-Net

·         Created Equal

·         Concerned Women for America

·         Heartbeat International

·         Ohio ProLife Action

·         Life Dynamics

·         Life Legal Defense Fund

·         Missionaries to the Preborn

·         National Pro Life Alliance

·         Personhood USA

·         Personhood Ohio

·         Pro Life Ohio

·         Students for Life

We can pray for an end of abortion in the USA by individually repenting of our apathy and/or direct participation in this sinful practice.

We can work for, support elect 100% Pro-Life candidates this spring and this fall. Pro-life advocates and representatives such as:

·         Rick Santorum for President

Roe v. Wade, 39 Years Later

Every year, since the 1973 SCOTUS decision to legalize the murder of innocent children, there has been some formal recognition of this tradegy. Pro-Life proponents have conducted annual March for Life events ever since 1973. Many churches will be participating in National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, where special messages will be presented recognizing the great evil of abortion that has been allowed to grow and fester in this nation.

This Sunday, January 22, 2012 is the 39^th Anniversary of the infamous Roe versus Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision. I saw the embedded video below today and was impressed with its timely and informative message.

The video captures Allan Parker’s, attorney and President of The Justice Foundation, reflections on the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and the Word of God. He discusses the history of Operation Outcry and his foundational scripture. He discusses the three major court cases influenced by Operation Outcry women's testimony. He also discusses the future of Roe and where he thinks the Pro-Life Movement will be in 2013.
