Forget Something?

The Inquirer reports that an a "nationwide abstinence-only program that uses a silver ring to remind teens to remain sexually pure has lost federal funding with the settlement of a lawsuit alleging it used the money for Christian evangelization." See: Abstinence-only program loses aid.

What the article doesn't mention is that the "Silver Ring Thing" is a pet project of my "favorite" Senator, Rick Santorum. The Village Voice The Bush Beat, notes that Santorum assisted the Pittsburgh-based evangelist Christian group receive more than $1 Million in federal funds.

This is an election year for Santorum. I would think this information might be relevant for voters to consider.
