Committee members are swayed by strong shows of support, and your presence could help to counter the influence of lobbyists for groups like Alfa, which is adamantly opposed to anything that might threaten its control. And, if nothing else, some of the opposition speakers may provide some entertainment value. [...] [...] If you can go to the hearing, do it.

John was there for part of the hearing, but he left before Bedford blasted his out of state casino $. My brother suggested, with tongue firmly in cheek, that he might have been a bit embarrassed by the antics of his minions. The hearing took place in one of the meeting rooms, and it was rather crowded. No, it wasn’t John Giles; it was some guy from Tuscaloosa.

Last year when I went before the same committee to speak for the Initiative and Referendum constitutional amendment there were TV crews filming from a glassed-in area in the right rear corner of the House Chamber. Was that where you were, or in another room? Kathy, I’m sure you would recognize Roy Moore if he were there, but could the man you first saw when you went in have been John Giles by any chance?

I'm very proud of you. I never cease to be amazed by those who are so certain that they have Christianity figured out to such an extent that they can tell others they are not Christian because the "others" have Christ-like beliefs. One day, they are going to be shocked when they realize that He is serious about what the Bible says about love and our responsibility to the least among us. I guess until then we just have to pray for those who think Jesus wants tax cuts and that His greatest concern is the "homasexul agenda." Lord, give us strength.

There was a guy there videotaping, but he didn't have any TV mikes or a station logo, so I guess it was just in-house. I haven't seen any news coverage so far; it was probably just politics as usual for the Montgomery reporters. Pam, I didn’t see anyone taking pictures.

That sounded like it would give me nightmares. Mr. Ten Commandments pin was probably one of the Roy Moore true believers. I hope there was TV coverage or photos of some kind. Awesome post, Kathy.
