a record number of advocacy group pledges were signed by republican candidates this election cycle. the pledges candidates promised included social issues and fiscal policy. every major republican candidate has promised to repeal the patient protection and affordable care act (ppaca) if elected president in 2012. rick santorum was an enthusiastic supporter of pledges, and was called a "super pledger" for his participation and defense of the practice. jon huntsman declined to sign any pledges, making him the only candidate in the 2012 cycle without one. the susan b. anthony list released a pro-life pledge signed by several candidates but not romney. pledges against same-sex marriage from the national organization for marriage and the family leader were signed by several to affirm that they would uphold the defense of marriage act and prevent federal recognition of state marriages. the family leader's pledge was highly controversial for its statements about muslims, slavery and pornography. rick santorum and michele bachmann signed the pledge, which also included a clause for the candidate to pledge to stay faithful to his or her spouse. bachmann denied her pledge included the slavery language, despite insistence by the family leader that she received the full document. santorum said he was "taken aback initially" when reading the document, but signed. candidates also signed promises to push for a balanced budget amendment (the pledge was released by the group let freedom ring), to reduce the national debt (strong america now), and to prevent any tax increases (americans for tax reform).
