Here’s the full press release from the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition:

Details are being finalized for the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Spring Event which will feature several individuals whose names have been mentioned heading into the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. Those confirmed to attend include former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza Herman Cain, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. The event, set to be held on Monday, March 7th, is expected to be attended by more than 600 Iowa activists who will play a foundational role in the first in the nation contest.

Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition, stated that the importance of this event lies in the fact that 60% of Iowa Caucus participants in 2010 were self-identified evangelical Christians. This is a fact that should not be missed by any of the potential candidates.

In addition to the potential candidates, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, president of the national Faith & Freedom Coalition and Fox News contributor Ralph Reed Jr. and conservative Congressman Steve King from Iowa’s fifth congressional district will also be attending the event.

The event is set to take place at Point of Grace church at 305 NE Dartmoor Drive in Waukee, Iowa from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Media credentialing is being handled by Gopal Krishna.
