Alabama Statewide Elections
Conservative Endorsements
Subject: Anaylsis of Statewide Area Races
Reasons for statewide Endorsements
Governor
Judge Roy Moore
He is our best chance or holding back tax increases, and repealing the heavy tax burden imposed by the current administration. He will immediately repeal the Annual Reappraisal of Property Values. He is the only candidate for governor who has taken the no tax pledge.
Judge Moore is a person of committed moral values. We know we can depend upon him to keep his word.
I will stop the illegal invasion.

Bob Riley
If good looks, fancy jewelry, a impressive flamboyant Clinton type personality, were the criteria for endorsement, Bob Riley would easy take the endorsement and would be reelected. After running for Governor in 2002, and promising “No New Taxes”, the average voter in Alabama feels betrayed. The old traditional Democrat voter who left the fold as he could not stomach the liberalism of Jessie Jackson and Bill Clinton, will have a hard time voting for Billion Dollar Bob. If Bob Riley wins the Republican nomination, there is no way that Bob Riley can win the majority of the votes of the hard pressed taxpayer. A vote for Bob Riley will ensure that a Democratic will likely be elected in November.
Governor Riley's order of annual reappraisals is expected to raise taxes by 500 million or about 42% of what his failed tax proposal would have brought in.

The 65 Alabama Plants have closed in mostly small town Alabama as a result of the
trade agreement legislation passed with the help and critical key votes of Governor
(former Congressman) Bob Riley http://www.voiceofalabama.com/legacy.html
Lt. Governor
Luther Strange http://www.lutherstrange.com/contact/
Luther Strange, Alabama’s Liberal Lt. Governor Candidate
Luther Strange is the ultimate liberal candidate for Lt. Governor in Alabama.
Luther backed Bob Riley's Amendment 1 Billion Dollar Tax increase and raised money for the TV ads to convince you to vote for it.
Luther Strange raises money for liberal Republicans, like liberal Bill Pryor, and backs those candidates who are weak on pro-life and moral issues.
Public records reveal you are a strong supporter of 2003's $1.2 billion tax increase:[1]

b. Luther Strange's lobbyist clients contributed $620,000 for
pro-tax (Amendment 1) advertising. Source: Alabama Secretary of State Records.
As a paid special interest lobbyist for Energen (Alabama Gas), his mission in life was to raise your utility rates.
Luther Strange has been in the forefront of special interest groups, doing fund raisers, and making donations to politicians to encourage them to work for the special interest groups, not for the common, working people.

Illegal Immigration
The illegal immigration problem in our country is not just an economic dilemma; it’s a National Security Emergency. In a post 911 world we must prevent the free flow of ILLEGAL immigrants into our country. While issues such as amnesty and or guest workers programs are under Federal Jurisdiction, I believe the State of Alabama should use every means at its disposal to discourage this illegal invasion of our country.
Mo Brooks
http://www.mobrookscampaign.com
Mo Brooks stood up and fought the 2003 Amendment One tax increase. Mo Brooks has a record for fighting tax increases. Mo Brooks actively supported and voted for tort reform and against frivolous lawsuits. Mo Brooks while in the legislature voted for legislation that protects and promotes moral values and voted against government sponsored gambling.
Chief Justice Alabama Supreme Court
Tom Parker
http://parkerforchiefjustice.com
My view are different from Drayton Nabors. I opposed Amendment 1 -- just as, years before I successfully fought a liberal lawsuit by the ACLU to increase our taxes by $2 billion through a judge-ordered tax increase.
In an age in which judge-ordered tax increases are taking place in nearly half the states, it strikes me as a risky move to elect a Chief Justice who believes Alabama’s tax code is immoral and that tax increases are the only way to guarantee so-called “social justice” in our state. http://parkerforchiefjustice.com/news/announcement_speech.php
Drayton Nabors
http://www.draytonnabers.com/
Instigator and Architect of the Billion Dollar Bob Amendment 1, the largest tax increase in Alabama history.
As Bob Riley’s Finance Chairman (Cabinet Level Post), Drayton Nabors implemented the Annual Reappraisals of Property Values, resulting in major tax increases to every property owner in the state.
Drayton Nabors main platform is “Protecting the Rule of Law” Drayton Nabors believes that if a federal judge makes a outlandish decision which changes the law entirely (commonly called “Legislating from the bench”), that rule of law should be obeyed and respected. Drayton Nabors was a law clerk under the famous U.S. Supreme Court Justice who did more to change the laws of America by legislating from the bench, with such landscape changing ruling such as the famous 1963 “Prayer and Bible Reading in the schools. Drayton honored Hugo Black by inducting him into the Alabama Legal Hall of Fame. Drayton evens admits to this liberal thinking on his own web site, see http://www.draytonnabers.com/content.asp?id=89249
Tax Relief for Birmingham is on the way.
Jefferson County Commission

could get some tax relief.
1. Jim Carnes (Conservative) vs. Gary White (Liberal)
2. Bobby Humphyres (Conservative) vs. Mary Buckelew (Liberal)
3. Tom Davis (Conservative) for House District 48.
Conservative Tom Davis is running against tax raising RINOS.

liberal Jack Biddle
****************************************************
Read a detailed analysis of these races below.
Tax Relief Coming to Jefferson County
1. Jim Carnes (Conservative) vs. Gary White (Liberal)
Jefferson County Commission
For the past three years, Jefferson County has suffered under the tyranny of
the Larry Langford Commission. Although Republicans have a 3-2 majority on
the County Commission, RINO (Republican in Name Only) Gary White cast the
swing vote to elect Larry Langford as Commission President. Propped up with
the solid support of RINO Mary Buckelew, this Commission has driven the
county deeper in debt, has added a one cent sales tax, and has built a
climate unfriendly to business.
But relief is on the way. RINO Gary White is being challenged by
conservative State Representative Jim Carns. Carns is a solid, pro-business,
pro-family conservative with a solid conservative voting record in the
Alabama House of Representatives. See his voting record:
http://www.ccofal.orgalabama/Scorecard.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Bobby Humphyres (Conservative) vs. Mary Buckelew (Liberal)
Jefferson County Commission Place 3
RINO Mary Buckelew is challenged by conservative leader, Representative
Bobby Humphryes. Humphyres has led the way on pro-life, pro-family
legislation, has pushed hard to repeal the Buckelew sales tax increase.
The election of Carns and Humphyres, along with the re-election of
conservative Bettye Fine Collins, would give a conservative majority on the
County Commission.
Both Carns and Humphryes opposed the Arrington MAPS tax, the Transit tax,
and the recent Buckelew sales tax increase. The
taxpayers have great friends
in Carns and Humphyres and now they are needed at the Jefferson County
Courthouse to do battle with Larry Langford and
Shelia Smoot.

Terry Reagen (R)
Tom Davis- a fiscal and moral conservative who supports lower taxes. He is
for abolishing the annual reappraisal of

Tom Davis was previously the Alabama Republican Party Nominee for
State Treasurer, and also for a Judgeship in Jefferson County.
Greg Canfield- Vestavia Hills City Council, the liberal architect of the
Cahaba Heights annexation of Cahaba Heights,

and resulted in the closing of many once
thriving and popular businesses, including the Heights Cafe.
Della Fancher- Co-Architect of the Cahaba Heights annexation into Vestavia
Hills, which has resulted in soaring property
and sales taxes.
Della Fancher is apparently quite wealthy and has contributed to the
campaigns of many liberal Democrats. Records with the Alabama

campaigns of Democrats Don Siegelman, Dewayne Freeman, Tom Butler, and
the Congressional race of Marsha Folsom, wife of former Governor Jim Folsom.

President. http://www.cortfordistrict48.com

American History Facts brought to you by Conservative Christians of Alabama
1765 : British pass Stamp Act
Hoping to raise sufficient funds to defend the vast new American territories won from the French in the Seven Years’ War, the British government passes the notorious Stamp Act on this day in 1765. The legislation levied a direct tax on all materials printed for commercial and legal use in the colonies, including everything from broadsides and insurance policies to playing cards and dice.
Though the Stamp Act employed a strategy that was a common fundraising vehicle in England, it stirred a storm of protest in the colonies. The colonists argued that, as British subjects, Parliament could not impose taxes upon them without their consent, as given through the various colonial representative assemblies. Believing this right to be in peril, the colonists rioted and intimidated all the stamp agents responsible for enforcing the act into resignation.
Conservative Christians of Alabama is pleased to bring you this history fact.
Not ready to put down the rioters with military force, Parliament eventually repealed the legislation. However, the fracas over the Stamp Act helped plant seeds for a far larger movement against the British government and the eventual battle for independence.
Three critical political forces came into being during the Stamp Act crisis that would serve to advance the cause of rebellion ten years later. First, the Sons of Liberty—a group of tradesmen who led the riots in Boston and other seaboard cities—was established. Second, the formation of the Stamp Act Congress united politically active gentlemen across colonial boundaries, as the Continental Congress would again do in 1774. Finally, the non-importation agreements developed in response to the Stamp Act gave the colonial population a sense of power as consumers of British goods. Although Parliament repealed the act before they learned of the colonial non-importation pacts, the colonists believed that the Britons had acted out of fear of their own economic collapse. During the coming revolution, non-importation would again serve as a means by which average men and, in particular, women could express their patriotism.
