The Romans had a festival of purification called Februa which means “I purify by sacrifice.” Guess what month is named for it.

Rubio Gets Spirit of 76 Endorsement
Rubio Gets Spirit of 76 Endorsement — The Spirit of 76 PAC, a tri-state (DE, NJ, PA) conservative federal PAC announced today, Feb. 1, that its advisory board has unanimously voted to endorse Marco Rubio for President.
Calling Senator Rubio the “best candidate to run for President from either party since Ronald Reagan,” PAC Spokeswoman Teri Adams of Cheltenham Township, PA, described Rubio as “a passionate conservative with a congressional voting record that matches his strong principled rhetoric.
“In the Senate, Marco Rubio has almost single-handily defeated ObamaCare by inserting a provision in the budget which restricts the Obama administration from shifting taxpayer funds from other programs to bailout health care insurers who are experiencing unexpected heavy losses. ObamaCare cannot sustain this unanticipated budget shortfall,” said Ms. Adams.
“As a member of both the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees for the past five years, Rubio has also gained extensive experience in foreign policy and national security issues,” said Advisory Board Member Jason O’Neill of Bear, DE. “This experience will be invaluable in the fall campaign and in January 2017, when Senator Rubio becomes the 45th President of the United States.”
In addition to his career in the US Senate, Marco Rubio is one of the few candidates to have also served as an elected official at both the state and local levels of government. 
In the late 1990s, Rubio was elected to serve as a City Commissioner for West Miami Township and was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000, representing the 111th district. Rubio eventually rose to become House Speaker. In 2010, Rubio was elected to the United States Senate after defeating incumbent Florida Governor Charlie Christ in a highly competitive race.
“Senator Rubio is the only Republican candidate to consistently defeat Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in head-to-head general election polls,” said Advisory Board Member Bill Green of Marlton, NJ. “We think he is, by far, the best GOP candidate to represent the conservative cause and the Republican Party.”
