| Collapse all
- INFRASTRUCTURE Bring federal dollars home to Alabama instead of sending billions over sea’s to fund proxy wars! Fix our state and county roads. Repair and replace our bridges. Expand internet access to rural Alabama.
- JOB GROWTH Bring back our manufacturing plants to create jobs. Bring back American steel and let Alabama shine the spotlight for the rest of the country on manufacturing steel. Bring tire plants and car manufacturing plants into the state.
- NO MONEY TO FOREIGN WARS Ending taxpayers burden to foreign wars. At no point should American dollars go towards proxy wars. While Alabamians are suffering to pay insurance premiums and put food on the table our elected officials are swooping in big dollars from the war complex industries and then turning around and voting to send billions to the wars that makes their special interests and corporate donors money.
Protecting our Constitutional rights from being stripped away.
It is crucial that we cut wasteful spending and ease the burden from taxpayers.
