A Word from Joe:
SENIORS INSPIRE ME
It was my great fortune to attend and be part of the Masters Games of Alabama's senior citizens in Valley, Alabama this week. Seniors from around the third district and the whole state participated in games and sport...an Olympics of Alabama seniors.
From rook to shuffleboard to tennis...these seniors found the competitive drive and spirit that helped build the greatest nation. The concentration and physical fitness of many of these seniors serves as a great example to many younger Alabamians who need to get in shape. Many seniors doned medals and were justifiably proud of their accomplishments.
These seniors clearly know the political scene better than their younger counterparts as well. I was greatly pleased to hear from them and share my dream of a greater America.
I salute you Alabama seniors who continue to inspire me and make me believe that you are truly one of America's greatest generations. Go for the gold Alabama! Joe
SUPPORT FOR OUR PRESIDENT AND MILITARY AS WE PREPARE FOR NEEDED ACTION AGAINST IRAQ
When America makes a democratic decision to move forward with potential military action, we should move as a country united. I supported the passage of the authorization adopted by Congress earlier this week to empower our President to take action appropriate to defend America, our allies and interests as it relates to Saddam and Iraq.
It is important that Congress appropriate the necessary funds to complete the mission given our men and women in uniform. Our leaders should continue to find a peaceful and a purposeful end to the potential threats of Saddam, but when it is time to move against this dictator, let us move as a country with resolve.
Putting America First means putting aside partisan interests long enough to unite and take care of America's security. I will always take this position as a United States Congressman. Let us pray for our President, all leaders around the world and especially for our troops and law enforcement officials. Joe
