Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum Sign 'The Marriage Vow'

I must applaud Bachmann and Santorum for their convictions. Although I don't agree with them all, they have taken a stand. This pledge has some things in it that I agree with.

Republican presidential contenders Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum have lined up behind a new pledge focused on social issues put forth by Bob Vander Plaats, a former candidate for governor who now reigns as a conservative kingmaker in the Hawkeye State.
