Don’t miss the most exciting political event ever held in Iowa’s presidential caucus history! The Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition is hosting its Eleventh Annual Spring Kick Off on Monday, March 7th, at the Point of Grace Church in Waukee. This year the event has garnered wide national and international media interest. CSPAN will be broadcasting the candidate’s speeches live! Please join hundreds of other fellow Iowan’s for this historic event!

Five potential presidential candidates will be speaking – former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza Herman Cain, former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and 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!

Other distinguished guests expected to attend the event include Congressman Steve King, Governor Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, other statewide elected officials, state legislators and the president of the national Faith & Freedom Coalition and Fox News contributor Ralph Reed. […]
