Young Alabamian plans to unseat 22-year Republican incumbent

For three of the last four congressional elections, Republican incumbent Robert Aderholt has run unopposed in Alabama's 4th Congressional District. This is unacceptable. For any candidate to run unopposed is a degradation of democracy. No one fights for the right to fill-in a box next to a stand-alone name on a ballot. If the voters do not have a choice then their voice is not heard and their right to vote is effectively nullified.

The Alabama voters of District 4 deserve a choice. Lee Auman plans to give them one.

Auman is energetic, passionate, and convinced that each of us must stand up for what is right and ensure that those who have been silenced go unheard no longer. He has a supportive and substantial network of friends, a zeal for leaving every person and thing better than he found them, and a heart on fire with hope for a greater tomorrow.

In VA and AL, everybody focuses on the scandals and crap, but the real story was the ground game and turnout among AA's and women.

only one way to change it,,,,,,, get off ya fat ass and go vote democratic and if u have means get off ur fat pocketbook and donate!

but Change in Alabama will come much slower that the rest of the nation as gerrymandering example shows.

still got my Jones sign out..... I am surprised it has not at the least been stolen.
