Report On Candidates For Alabama Offices In 2006

(Updated on December 13, 2006)

INTRODUCTION TO THIS PAGE

As the 2006 GENERAL ELECTIONS approach I am contacting by email as many as possible of the candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and the legislature to ask them this simple “Yes or No” question so that you can see their responses, or lack thereof, and vote accordingly:

“Will you actively support the proposition of bringing Initiative and Referendum [I&R] to the voters of Alabama , both during your campaign, and afterward, if elected?”

HOW YOU CAN ASSIST IN THIS PROJECT

Contact candidates who would represent you and tell them that if they don’t trust you enough to help give you Initiative and Referendum then you can’t give them your vote.

Ask them for their commitment to do that, and then let your friends and acquaintances know what their response was.

Talk about I&R with everyone you know, and encourage them to talk to others, and work to help defeat legislators that won’t work to give us I&R.

DAN’S REPORT FOLLOWS THIS SECTION OF MY REPORT

TO SEE THE NAMES OF 22 REPRESENTATIVES WHO SEEM TO BE OPPOSED TO INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM AND NEED TO BE DEFEATED IF THEY ARE, SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I thank “Let Alabama Vote” for conducting a survey of those Democratic and Republican candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Alabama Legislature who are in contested races for office in the November general elections, and for placing this ad in The Birmingham News in the interest of informing voters of how those candidates stand on the issue of Initiative and Referendum for Alabamians. You may wish to contact Judge Jerry Stokes whose address appears at the bottom of the ad, and thank him, also.

The following is what I have to report on the 2006 candidates as of now.

RESULTS OF MY QUESTION TO THE CANDIDATES

Responses received will be posted as time permits.

Negative responses will be entered in RED, and positive responses will be in GREEN.

Preparing for the November general elections, the question was emailed to the candidates listed below who have not previously responded on the dates indicated. Responses will be reported later as they are received.

The report compiled before beginning this section for the general elections follows below this and Dan’s section so that it can be referred to. Candidates who submitted responses during that time will not be contacted again for this section.

I replied to her on the same date saying, ”I can post the fact that you replied for the candidate on my website, but I believe it would carry far more weight with the electorate if the candidate replied for himself to show that he is not above being in touch with voters.

To this Republican candidate in the special election for House District 22:

John Warren, who replied the same day saying in part, "I have been a strong supporter of the initiative, referendum and recall since I was a young student at Auburn University majoring in Political Science. I'll vote with my friend Mike Ball and others to pass his bill into law."

*****************************************

I sent an email to over 90 Alabamians whom I believed would want to have I&R asking for their assistance by doing what Dan, who has a report section following mine, is doing in a smaller way by at least contacting the candidates who wish to represent them and asking their acquaintances in the state to do likewise. I received two enquiries as a result of that plea, and one indidual, Tyrone, sent me a copy of the email he sent to Senator Wendell Mitchell for senate district 30 on July 29 who responded on August 12 saying in part, “I will support initiative and referendum, both in the campaign and afterwards when re-elected.” If many others would do likewise it would be a great help to me personally, and to the effort to obtain I&R. Only pressure from thousands of voters will cause the legislature to pass I&R legislation for us to vote up or down.

Joan Reynolds for senate district 30 replied to Harold, another person assisting in contacting candidates, on August 16 saying. “I do support Initiative and Referendum.” Harold also contacted Representative Steve McMillan, house district 95, who replied on August 24 saying in part, "The answer to your questions is YES."

Dan, as a guest blogger on Politics in Alabama, in “Goat Hill”, reported that Senator Ted Little had responded to him via USPS saying that the Senator is a supporter of I&R.

THIS ENDS MY SECTION OF THE GENERAL ELECTION REPORT ON THE CANDIDATES

(TO BE UPDATED AS OTHER RESPONSES ARE RECEIVED)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dan’s Section of the Report on the Candidates for Office In the 2006 Alabama General Elections in November

Since I’m just one person who is doing this work on my own time I’m thankful for help from those willing to help contact candidates for office and apply pressure on them to work toward making Alabama the 25^th Initiative and Referendum (I&R) state.

An Alabama blogger, Dan, who has a political blog “Between the Links” (http://www.betweenthelinks.com/) is to be especially commended for the work he’s doing voluntarily. He’s attempting to contact EVERY candidate for governor, lieutenant governor, and the legislature whose position was not already known, to ask them if they are for or against giving the voters of Alabama a real voice in the government they own through I&R.

Dan asked the candidates the same question I have: "Will you actively support the proposition of bringing Initiative and Referendum to the voters of Alabama , both in your campaign and afterward?"

These are the results as posted on his blog @ http://www.betweenthelinks.com/iandr on October 16, 2006

Green - The candidate is a supporter of I&R
