What People Are Saying About Martha Roby

“Martha Roby served on the Montgomery City Council where she fought tax increases and worked hard to reduce government spending. She’s now running...with a strong message of reform to get our country back on the right track.”
-- Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

“We need to restore conservative leadership in Washington.  Nancy Pelosi doesn’t represent the values of southeast Alabama. We need to send someone who will fight for our conservative values every day. Martha Roby will do that.”
-- Former Congressman Terry Everett

“Martha Roby has the fire and commitment requisite to be a steadfast voice for Alabama in Washington, DC, and she continues to educate the constituents of District 2 about the nation’s problems and what is needed to address them!”
-- Rick Barber, Former AL-2 Congressional Candidate

“Martha Roby believes as I do that we need to implement conservative change to move this country forward.  Her message of unleashing the private sector to create jobs, stopping wasteful Washington spending, and securing our border is exactly what we need in Washington. I look forward to helping her achieve these goals and working with her in Washington.”
-- Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich

“Martha will always place the Second Amendment ahead of partisan politics.  The same cannot be said of her opponent, Bobby Bright... Alabama gun owners and sportsmen deserve a representative who will always vote to protect their Second Amendment rights and who will not cave in to political pressure. That’s why Gun Owners of America stands with Martha Roby.”
-- Tim Macy, Vice Chairman, Gun Owners of America
 
“Martha Roby shares the priorities of the landowners and job creators who work in the forest industry...I know Martha Roby will fight for pro-business and free enterprise principles in Washington, and I urge others to join me in supporting her.”  
-- Chris Issacson, Executive Vice President, Alabama Forestry Association
 
“Martha wants to fight to protect conservative values in Washington.  Her opponent is doing his best to look conservative, but his mere presence in the House of Representatives strengthens the radical liberals.  We’ve seen what the liberals have done to this nation, and we can’t afford to give them any more ground.”  
-- Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly
 
“On behalf of Senior citizens, I’m singing the praises of Martha Roby.  We need strong leaders like Martha Roby who will fight for lower taxes, a return to the Constitution, and an end to the runaway spending that is bankrupting our country -- leaders who will always protect important programs like Social Security and Medicare for senior citizens.  Martha Roby understands that ObamaCare hurts seniors by cutting $500 billion out of Medicare we can't afford to sacrifice.  This November please remember Martha Roby when casting your vote for Congress.”
-- Legendary entertainer Pat Boone
 
“We’re excited to support Martha Roby in her effort to bring conservative change to Washington. She has the experience and values we need in Washington.”
-- Sandra Mortham, Chairman, Maggie’s List
 
“Bobby Bright may be a ‘Blue Dog,’ but Martha Roby is the ‘watchdog’ of Montgomery’s treasury. It’s obvious which would be better in Congress—and that will be Martha Roby.”
-- John Gizzi, Editor, Human Events
