Romney Scores Major Christian Endorsement

Tweet

Go here to read David Brody's (of the Christian Broadcasting Network) story. Brody starts out with this:

This is a big one folks. In a Brody File exclusive, we've found out that Paul Weyrich, the former co-founder of The Moral Majority has endorsed Mitt Romney for President. The Brody File has the press release. Read below:

Today, Paul Weyrich, Chairman and CEO of the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation, announced his support for Governor Mitt Romney and his campaign to be our country's next President. Paul Weyrich is one of the premier leaders in the conservative movement, having founded the Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Weyrich's own thoughts below:

"As he travels across the country, Governor Romney has outlined a blueprint to build a stronger America rooted in our common conservative principles. With a clear conservative vision to move America forward, he will strengthen our economy, our military and our families. More importantly, he already has an exceptional record of putting conservative values to work. Because of his experience, vision and values, I am proud to support Governor Romney," said Paul Weyrich.

Then, Brody continues with his story:

Where do I begin? Let me start by saying that Paul Weyrich is a huge name in the social conservative movement. If you know anything about the conservative movement in this country in the last 30 years or so, you know how big a deal this is. Read more about him here.

His claim to fame is that he was one of the co-founders of the Moral Majority. But besides that, his influence is felt in conservative circles from his founding of the conservative think tank "The Heritage Foundation" to the "Free Congress Foundation" to his social grassroots outreach today.

Very good news if you're a Mitt fan. Very bad news if you're a fan of anyone else.
