Santorum to speak at Hillsdale Monday evening
When Rick Santorum speaks at Hillsdale College Monday night, it will not be about foreign policy, trade wars, or even abortion. He will speak about the Constitution of the United States of America.
Students at Hillsdale College invited GOP hopefuls Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul to speak at the college about the Constitution in a nationally broadcasted symposium.
Breathe a sigh of relief now – this is not another debate. Each candidate will have 15 minutes to speak about the Constitution, have a few minutes for questions, and leave the stage to the next candidate.

Several well-know pro-lifers spoke before Santorum arrived, including Mike Huckabee and Andrew Breitbart. And though they were well received by the crowd, Santorum’s arrival brought enthusiasm that eclipsed the rest.

Jim Jordan’s positivity at CPAC 2012
Jim Jordan, R-OH, told conservatives at CPAC today to “be positive” in this season of trial for America. The upbeat attitude of the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee reinforced his motivational call to get back in the game of politics.
