Bob Williams: Why I Support Martha Roby

As a second district voter that spent a good part of my life working in
education, I am glad to voice my support for Republican Martha Roby.

Martha is a true conservative that will bring refreshing change to the
halls of Congress. I have seen Martha’s position on education
misrepresented time and time again by Bobby Bright and the Democratic Party.  This is an issue I am very familiar with and I am glad to support Martha’s stance on the U.S. Department of Education.  This is not about a cut in federal aid as her opponents would have you believe. Instead, this is about a cut in federal red tape and unfunded mandates passed down to us from Washington.

Martha Roby knows that education decisions are best made locally and not by bureaucrats in Washington that have never stepped foot in an Alabama classroom.  I support Martha’s position for more local control of our tax dollars and ensuring that education is child centered and parent driven.

We must cut red tape and provide more flexibility and authority in
spending federal aid so our tax dollars are maximized in the classroom and not tied up in a bloated bureaucracy.

We need a leader that will fight for us in Washington not only in the
education field, but as an advocate for lower taxes, less spending, a
smaller government and a Congress that works toward creating a job friendly environment instead of one that passes job killing legislation.

Martha Roby is that leader.
