Newt Gingrich Gets the Backing of Religious Conservative Leader

On Tuesday, Republican presidential hopeful former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is still doing well in national polls but sinking in Iowa, unveiled the endorsement of Rev. Donald Wildmon, the founder and chairman of the American Family Association and American Family Radio. There are 190 AFR stations across the country.

Don Wildmon has been one of the most important leaders in the country in the battle to uphold our founding principles, Gingrich said.I am humbled and honored to have his endorsement.

"Newt Gingrich recognizes the threat to our country posed by judges and lawyers imposing values upon the country inconsistent with our religious heritage, and has proposed constitutional steps to bring the courts back in balance under the Constitution, Wildmon said. We need someone in the White House who can balance the budget and get the economy moving again. Newt has done it before and I believe he can do it again. I am proud to endorse Newt Gingrich for president.
