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.

George Wallace, Jr.

http://www.georgewallacejr06.com 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.

Chief Justice Alabama Supreme Court

Tom Parker

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 Rileys 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
