Statement from US Senator Jim DeMint –

“Today, Governor Romney demonstrated an understanding of America’s religious heritage and a vision for America’s future that make him the best candidate for President of the United States.

No President should promote a particular religion, but every President must understand the importance of faith in America and protect our freedom to worship the Creator as we choose.  Governor Romney has shown that he clearly understands that faith is foundational to freedom.  As the Governor so eloquently said, “Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.”

Governor Romney’s speech was presidential in both substance and delivery, and I believe it will be remembered as the key speech of this election.”
