It's official, Santorum Exposed is definitely making a difference.
How do you we know, you may ask? We know because Rick Santorum told us. Just days ago
Rick not only mentioned us by name, he LIED about us - TWICE.That's right, at a recent event, Rick mentioned the Lantern Project, the organization responsible for Santorum Exposed. He went on to talk about our TV ads -- which clearly annoy him -- and then he claimed that our "biggest donor" is Barbra Streisand.
That is a bald-faced lie.We're proud that Barbra Streisand chose to support our work, and that she was one of our earliest contributors, but her contribution is not even close to being our largest. We're pretty sure Rick already knows that her donation amounts to less than 0.2% of the total funds we have raised, and that our actual "biggest donor" is a union representing janitors and security officers, nurses, hospital and nursing home employees, home care and public service workers -- again, people we are proud to stand with and count among the supporters of our work. Like all 527 organizations, we disclose that information to the public and it is easy to find online. We're certain Rick has access to the Internet.
But one lie wasn't good enough for Rick. He went on to claim that we have a "radical left agenda." As you know from both our web site and our TV ads, there is absolutely nothing "radical" about our agenda. Our only agenda has always been to expose the extremism, hypocrisy and LIES of public officials like Rick Santorum. We never realized that Rick would make our job so easy by actually lying about us.
But why would Rick lie about us? Do you think it's because we're exposing the facts about him and his record? You'll notice he doesn't say anything to refute the facts in our ads or on SantorumExposed.com -- instead he misrepresents the facts about us and our organization. Perhaps that's because he can't refute the facts about his record, so he has chosen to try to smear us instead. Frankly, we're not surprised.
