<snip>
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has told supporters he is contemplating a run for president.

In a letter Friday to America's Foundation, his political action committee, Santorum wrote, "I am considering putting my name in for the 2012 presidential race," CNN first reported.

The conservative Republican wrote he is "concerned about the direction Barack Obama is taking our country."

"I'm convinced that conservatives need a candidate who will not only stand up for our views, but who can articulate a conservative vision for our country's future," Santorum wrote. "And right now, I just don't see anyone stepping up to the plate."

After Senator Ensign refused the revised settlement offer, Mr. Hampton decided to take the matter to the media. Mr. Hampton wrote a letter to Megyn Kelly at Fox News on June 11, 2009 in which he disclosed the affair and sought a meeting with the television station. On June 15, 2009, Mr. Hampton forwarded a copy of the letter in an email to former Senator Rick Santorum, and asked Senator Santorum for help with the matter. Senator Santorum forwarded Mr. Hampton s email and the letter to Senator Ensign at his Gmail address that evening at
approximately 10:20 p.m.
