    As a member of the Democracy Defense League in Hale County we are pleased to see at least three people have been charged.

If you care about bringing honest elections to Alabama I invite you to visit our website http://www.thedemocracydefenseleague.com and join. We will be holding a state meeting on April 1 at the state capitol in Montgomery.

Both men are personal friends but I think even they had to [...]

TRYIN’ TO CATCH UP

I’ve been in Venice on a little vacation and just returned last night.  I’ve been trying to catch up and see that there have been few dramatic events in the last 10 days.  I thought the www.fivethirtyeight.com piece was especially good, though the comments reflected the anti-Alabama knee-jerk reactions of those who live outside the [...]
