Report: Rick Santorum to form organization for social conservative causes
— -- Michael Falcone and Shushannah Walshe from ABC News report that former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum's "big announcement" on Friday will be the formation of a new group that will raise funds to promote the social conservative ideas he championed on the campaign trail:
On Tuesday, sources close to Santorum tell ABC News that the former presidential candidate will be announcing the formation of a 501 c(4) organization that he will use to pursue a set of issues he has fought for during much of his political career.
This first wave of issues is likely to focus on an agenda that includes anti-abortion and faith and family causes.
...
It's not clear yet where the new 501 c(4) will be operating out of, but last month the pro-Santorum super PAC, the Red, White, and Blue Fund, became a hybrid political action committee that will also work as a traditional leadership PAC to push Santorum's message, support his political travel, cover administrative costs and donate money to candidates he supports with similar views. This new issues-oriented push from Santorum could easily operate out of this leadership PAC
