This Florida voter will vote for Rick, and I know many more who have in the last 24hrs decided to do the same.
A letter I sent to Senator Santorum tonight:
Dear Honorable Senator Santorum:
I am writing as a conservative voter concerned about the race in Florida this coming week.
I have appreciated your career serving our nation since the early 90’s, especially as I was a worker in the pro-life movement, volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center in southeast Alabama for several years. I was a military wife, and spent countless hours working there and observing your stance and strong pro-life advocacy as a conservative representative. I have always admired your courage
in leading on this issue, and know that the pro-life, as well as the conservative cause have been greatly served by your efforts. In short, I have been a fan of yours for a very long time.
I have also enjoyed your participation in this primary process very much. I was heartened by your win in Iowa, and had hopes that your momentum would continue into the following primaries.
However, it is clear to us, as voters, that this momentum has not continued. Polls clearly show Speaker Gingrich has had the solid lead next to Governor Romney in this race going forward.
While I realize Speaker Gingrich is a flawed candidate, I still believe he will successfully articulate the conservative message and beat President Obama in the general election. I strongly feel that if
Governor Romney wins the nomination, he will go down in solid defeat against Obama.
I urge you, for the good of this country, which faces a dire future under continued democratic leadership, for the good of the conservative cause, and most of all, for the good of the unborn, to resign from the Florida race and remove your name from the ballot before the vote on Tuesday. I also urge you to THEN take in the lead
in refuting the actions of the Republican establishment, and use your leadership skills to rally these and other voters behind the candidacy of Speaker Gingrich. At THIS moment in our history, you are in the prime position to do this.
If Governor Romney wins, it is clear he will have the strongest momentum throughout the primary and will win the nomination. As he is not a reliable pro-life candidate, his win will be a death knell to millions more unborn children yet to come. If Speaker Gingrich wins, you, I, and others will remain in this fight to promote the pro-life
cause, as well as conservative leadership and values for years to come.
I do believe sometimes we have to lose a few battles to remain in the fight. I want to remain in the fight for the unborn, and for conservative principles to return this country to greatness. I believe
your name should be at the top of the list for the vice presidential nomination, or that you should perhaps return once again during the next election to run again, as have many winning candidates before. I do hope you will do this for our country. I will remain forever grateful to you, and you will have my unrelenting respect if you do
so. My own husband sacrificed for this country by serving in Iraq for two tours, and a tour in Korea, and so we are not strangers to sacrifice. I can tell you that in doing so, you will gain much more than if you decide to continue with other ambitions.

What exactly made you change your mind since you made that post? You really think Santorum can win the nom?
