WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Family Research
Council Action President Tony Perkins issued an unprecedented endorsement of
Ken Blackwell in his race for chairman of the Republican National Committee.
    "While I have historically declined involvement in political party
elections, the opportunity to see fundamental change in a Republican Party
that has lost its way, is a compelling reason to support and encourage others
to support Ken Blackwell for chairman of the National Republican Committee.
For many years, I have known and worked with Ken Blackwell on the toughest
issues facing families and our country. He has a distinguished record of
service and achievement as a finance executive, entrepreneur, diplomat,
educator and independent corporate director. As Family Research Council's
Senior Fellow for Family Empowerment, Ken has led our efforts to address
family economics, tax reform, and education.
    "Ken Blackwell is a true advocate for the fiscal and social values that
best uphold and strengthen families. Last summer, Ken served as vice chairman
of the 2008 Platform Committee which adopted one of the strongest pro-life,
pro-family platforms in history. His extensive campaign experience and
commitment to conservative principles will serve the RNC well. Ken is the
clear choice in this race and why I am proud to support him for RNC chairman."
