About the Program
From 2005, then-Sen. Rick Santorum explains his belief that the values of conservatism creates an appreciation for the civic bonds that unite communities. He elaborates on other ways social conservatism can influence public policy in his new book, "It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good." He also argues that strengthening family ties in American society should take a higher priority over the "village" of the federal government promoted in a previous book by former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
