First-term state Representative Kim Pearson, a Republican from Pleasant Hill, has endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul’s bid for the GOP’s 2012 presidential nomination. Pearson is a home-school mom who has been engaged in the abortion debate in the legislature (she favors a ban on all abortions) and she is among the handful of House Republicans who co-sponsored resolutions that outlined articles of impeachment against four justices on the Iowa Supreme Court who joined the court’s 2009 ruling on gay marriage.

The principled first-termers should all be for Ron Paul. Herman Cain has never fought for our beliefs, though he talks a good game. Michele Bachmann does have some legit conservative chops. But as Ron Paul racks up the early endorsements, the MSM wants to talk about John Huntsman, and if Trump will STILL jump in? We want more Ron Paul!
