In an article running today in many Sunday papers ran and
owned by Advance Media, a group of Republican owners and journalists continue
to try and down grade Democratic politics in Alabama with their negative and
coded articles.
This is the type of action I am willing to stand up
against and fight, because the media have to long told too many fairytales and
not so much of the true. It’s time for fair and balanced news and information.

| Hon. Lucy Baxely - D |
Lucy Baxely has served his great State of Alabama for a
very long time, this awesome and educated woman of character and integrity have
held several elected offices, becoming Alabama first female Lt. Governor, State
Treasurer and then President of the Public Service Commission. Lucy Baxely not only became famous in politics
by the slogan “I love Lucy” but by her ability to serve with honesty and for
the people.
Lucy Baxely is 74 years of age yes indeed and Al.com ran
a article today saying that Baxely career came to an end at 74. Well Lucy
Baxely career didn’t come to an end, I strongly believe that Lucy Baxely will
still be a access and player in Alabama politics in the future, whether it’s in
their media room or not.
Republican Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh, only won with just
54% of the vote statewide. That’s a message that it was a close race by far not
a landslide in reality. If the voters of Alabama really knew what Twinkle
Andress Cavanaugh stand for and her primary goal is, I really believe the
election results would have been much different. The fact that Democrats did
not do a well unified voter education campaign this past election, and there was
very little campaigning for the great Lucy Baxely, she lost this race.
Baxely didn’t lose because Alabama canceled her and her
politics. Twinkle Cavanaugh simply won because her party turned out the vote.
The partisan politics by media must stop and we as whole hearted Democrats must stand up and
fight this type of information. Baxely
always ran a great campaign and she has always stood up for the poor and middle
class. And that’s why she is not there today, because Twinkle falls in the back
pockets of special interest and the extreme Republicans. She will be a rubber
stamp for the special interest and never an advocate for the poor and middle
class. The false hope that they portray on the campaign trail is that of phony
politics to get them elected. But the truth is they too are just another back pocket
republican to the special interest that seeks to make it harder for the average
Alabamian, whether you are black, white, Hispanic, a college student, women or
men, religious or not.
We love you Lucy Baxely, you served us well!
