A Word from Joe:
RETIRED SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS ENDORSE TURNHAM
Consistently, one of the top issues mentioned by the voters in Alabama is the issue of education. I am proud to announce the endorsement of my candidacy for Congress by 6 former superintendents of education from the third congressional district.
Former state school superintendent Dr. Wayne Teague is joined in his endorsement by Jerry Milner - Chambers County Schools; Dr. John Fulmer - Anniston City; Scott Dennis - Cleburne Co.; Dr. Allen Cleveland - Auburn; Dr. John Kirkpatrick - Piedmont. All of these former superintendents mentioned Joe's firm commitment to education at all levels and state that he will be the "education Congressman". They urge voters to elect Joe Turnham to Congress.
I welcome this endorsement and thank these outstanding gentlemen for their support. Education will be a top priority of my office when we win this election on Tuesday.

STATESMANSHIP, NOT PARTISANSHIP PUTS AMERICA FIRST!
As this campaign draws to a conclusion on Tuesday, it is clear one difference has surfaced in the last several months between Mike Rogers and myself...Mike has made this race soley about protecting the republican majority, and the leadership of his own party. I have been consistent in saying that I support issues and the will of the people of the third district as my top priority - in other words, people first, party second. In straight terms: I am not a lackey for my party. I will vote my heart and will fight for the issues of justice, equality, healthcare reform (including prescription drug relief), economic development and job creation, veteran fairness, social security, homeland defense, fair trade, environmental protection/cleanup, among other issues.
I will support our president when I feel he is right on defending America abroad, I will fight him when he tries to privatize social security. We can't put our party before the welfare of our nation...that's not putting America first. Mike recently said if he repudiated the National Republican Congressional Committee and asked them to stop slandering me..."they don't care what I think" he was qoted as saying in the Mobile Press Register. What?...he let's them run his own campaign speding millions to elect him and slander me and he can't tell them to tell the truth? What will Mike Rogers do when they want to expand NAFTA and Fast Track or privatize social security? Will they listen to him then?
As a pro-life, pro-second amendment small businessman and United Methodist Layspeaker I know how to stand up for my beliefs and will put America First in the United States Congress. Let's put statesmanship over partisanship. You can do that when you vote Tuesday. May America win!
Joe
