On Monday, former Sen. Rick Santorum declared his intentions to run for president in 2012.

“We are ready to announce we’ll be in this race and we’ll be in it to win,” Santorum said on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Santorum’s campaign is holding a rally on Monday at the Somerset County Courthouse in Somerset, Pa.

Santorum was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990 at the age of 32. He served in the U.S. Senate from 1995 to 2007. His peers elected him to the position of Senate Republican Conference Chairman in 2000.

Along with John Boehner and Jim Nussle, Santorum was a member of the famous “Gang of Seven” that exposed the Congressional Banking and Congressional Post Office scandals. He was also an author and floor manager of the Welfare Reform Act that passed in 1996.


Santorum wrote legislation that outlawed the heinous procedure known as Partial Birth Abortion as well as the “Born Alive Infants Protection Act,” the “Unborn Victims of Violence Act,” and the “Combating Autism Act” because he believes each and every individual has value and the most vulnerable in our society need to be protected.
