Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum was in Lee’s Summit on Friday night to rally his supporters for Tuesday’s Missouri Primary.
Many of those supporters brought their kids and praised Mr. Santorum’s socially conservative platform.
The former senator from Pennsylvania is counting on the passion of religious conservatives to win after three successive losses following his narrow victory in Iowa.
Mr. Santorum repeatedly praised former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s character while criticizing the former Massachusetts governor’s role in creating an expanded government-funded health care plan there.
He also appealed to his conservative religious base in his criticism of President Obama’s health care plan.
“Barack Obama talks about the right to health care,” Mr. Santorum told the crowd. “Who gives you rights?”
