3 members and 2 candidates for Alabama congressional delegation join sign Heritage Action “Police Pledge”

Three current members of the Alabama U.S. House delegation Mo Brooks, Mike Rogers and Bradley Byrne, and both republican candidates for the states two open house races, Jerry Carl and Barry Moore have signed a new pledge by Heritage Action. In addition, Steve McMillan a State House of Representative from District 95 has also signed.

As of September 9, 2020, 2 U.S. Senators and 118 House leaders who have signed the“Police Pledge” from Heritage Action. Heritage Action for America is a conservative policy advocacy organization that was founded in 2010. Their lobbying team works directly with lawmakers to push conservative principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

The pledge states:

“A lawful society—free from mob rule and violent insurrection—is not possible without Law Enforcement.

“Police Officers have chosen a noble profession. They dedicate their lives to upholding the law and protecting the sacred rights of their fellow citizens. As a profession, they deserve support and respect.

“I stand with America’s Police and pledge to oppose any bill, resolution, or movement to “Defund the Police.”

Congressman Brooks said, “I back the blue. Unfortunately, Socialist Democrat elected officials— beholden to criminal elements who they rely on for votes— undermine law enforcement at every turn. As for me, I support law enforcement in their daily struggle to hold the thin blue line between order and anarchy, peace and violence. By signing the ‘Police Pledge’, I redouble my commitment to stand with law enforcement as they endure dangerous and unwarranted attacks from the left.”

In announcing that he signed the pledge Barry Moore, candidate for House District 2 said, “The last few weeks have shown us just how important our police are to our society, and how much we rely on them in times of crisis. The Left has been screaming for months to ‘defund the police’, saying ‘we can defend ourselves’. Then, the minute something happens they scream for the police. Well, by then it’s too late. The hypocrisy of the Left, and the shameless way they try to take both sides of this issue, is mind-blowing.

“The Democrat’s refusal to support our police officers has brought us to this point. Our cities are being destroyed, and it’s mainly Democrat-run cities that are suffering the most. I’m saddened that the citizens of those cities have to bear the brunt of failed liberal policies, and pray every day for them and the police who are trying so hard to protect them despite being hamstrung by their leaders.

“I always have, and I always will, support law enforcement, and will always resist efforts to defund the police.”
