Will Alabama Say Goodbye to Mike Rogers?

Rogers (not to be confused with Michigan's congressman of the same name) is a Republican on the US House of Reps' Armed Services, Agriculture and Homeland Security Committees. It would be nice if Alabamans could do themselves and the rest of us a favor by not letting him do any more harm, especially on two committees that have to do with defense & security and one that too often has to do with poorly dispensed funds. And what is the neighborhood of Mr. Rogers' voting record? It's as poor as can be.
  • Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005)
  • Voted YES on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)

Isn't it time for this good buddy of the oil interests to move along and make room for someone who has the people's interests in mind? Help Rogers find a different job by supporting Greg Pierce in the race for Alabama's 3rd district.
