***For Immediate Release***

February 28th, 2011

Despite the slow start to the 2012 presidential caucus season in the state, the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition seems to be cutting through the fog with their annual Spring Kickoff event. The event has already begun to garner national media interest for its role in the 2012 Iowa Caucuses and expected turnout is on the rise.

As a result, the group has added an additional name to their line-up of speakers as they close in on Monday, March 7th event. The event is now set to feature five individuals that have been billed as potential presidential candidates heading into the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. Those candidates are former CEO of Godfathers Pizza Herman Cain, former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and the recent addition of former Speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich. This collection of speakers marks the first event of its kind in the 2012 race with multiple potential candidates sharing the same stage. A similar event is not likely to be seen this spring.

Other distinguished guests expected to attend the event include conservative Congressman Steve King, Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds and the president of the national Faith & Freedom coalition and Fox News contributor Ralph Reed.

The event is set to be held at Point of Grace Church in Waukee. Light refreshments will be served from 5:30 to 6:15 in the atrium. The program will start promptly at 6:15 in the church sanctuary. Point of Grace is a superb facility that will accommodate a large crowd. There is seating for up to 800 people. This is the Iowa must-attend political spring event in Iowa! This will be an exciting, patriotic event that you won’t want to miss! There will be candidate and issue-oriented literature tables for you to browse. There will be opportunities for you to interact with the candidates. In addition, we expect to have many state legislators on hand—take the opportunity to tell them that you are proud of the job they are doing on the “hill.”

We expect to have media from all over the state, nation, and even foreign press who will be covering this exciting event!

Where else could this opportunity come about—only in Iowa—the site of the first presidential caucus of 2012! As the most viable and effective multi-issue pro-family organization in Iowa, we are proud and honored to host this event.

Come join us for this truly exciting event—our 2012 Spring Kick Off. Invite your family and friends and let’s pack the place out—Monday, March 7th!
