A Word from Joe:
THIRD DISTRICT HEROES HONOR ME WITH THEIR SUPPORT
I got my letter today from the Anniston Firefighters regarding their wholehearted endorsement of me and this campaign for Congress. They are working hard and will be a big part of our victory celebration in the days ahead. The Jacksonville Firefighters and other fire fighters across the district are endorsing our campaign for Congress because we will fight for them! Isn't that fair...they fight for us, we fight for them?
Firefighters join the Fraternal Order of Police, the Police Benevolent Association in endorsing our campaign for Congress. I don't guess Mike Rogers will feature them in a negative ad against me...but who knows?
The American Federation of Government Employees or AFGE has endorsed our campaign, this includes the 3,000 depot workers at local 1945 in Bynum. The heroes, first responders, keepers of chemical weapons, police and firefighters, even in Mike Roger's home county and beyond have endorsed our campaign.
These endorsements humble me. I take them with great appreciation and with a sense of duty to serve the people they serve when I am elected to Congress. Thank you to each member of these organizations that have bestowed your trust in me and this candidacy for Congress. We will win because you gave your reputation for this cause.

ATTACK OF PERSONAL CHARACTER IS NOT PUTTING AMERICA FIRST!
When campaigns fight hard battles, the 'fur flies' said one political observer. But, Joe Turnham has been subjected to negative campaign attacks funded by over $2 million dollars worth of mail and tv distorting his positions, beliefs, and Christian character. It is time to stop.
As the campaign comes into its last two weeks, it is notable to mention that putting America First means putting your issues on the table as a candidate for real debate, not in the paid media. People are hurting out there and are demanding that candidates show sensitivity to their concerns.
As my own character has been assaulted in the mail box and on the tv for the last 6 weeks, I have gained a new sense of understanding for those that are tossed aside and so easily blistered by the powerful because they presented a threat to the power hold of the few. I intend to put America First in the US Congress, regardless of the negative consequences to me politically or to my own personal reputation. Name calling and shots to the political ribs do not deter me from mounting a campaign of hope and encouragement to the many people who look to leaders to 'do the right thing'.
Help me put America First by giving consideration to our campaign message of hope, positive ideas and a bold vision for our future. Thanks for all your prayers and for not believing or supporting those candidates that seek to gain power through deception.
Joe
