Santorum Mails Pics of Leesburg Va Family to Pa. Contributers: The Morning Call Online

"Politics As Usual: November 20

SANTORUM vs. CASEY

Karen Santorum wants your family snapshots. Really.

The wife of U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum included a color photo of the couple and their six children in a recent fundraising letter that invited recipients to return the favor — along with an appropriate-sized check.

''Just include your picture in the pre-addressed envelope I've prepared,'' she wrote, ''along with your contribution of $25, $35, $50, $100 or even $1,000 to Santorum 2006 and return both to me today.''

She said the campaign needed to raise $22 million ''because we cannot afford to have our message filtered and distorted by the liberal media.''

The senator is running behind in the polls to Democrat Bob Casey Jr., so he's got to be pretty busy. But Santorum said she would make sure that ''Rick sees your photo and adds it to the pictures of other friends and families we've received over the years.''"
