The Capitol was only 40 miles up Highway 110 from
Union Springs where I was born in 1955, and I lived
until I graduated from high school in 1973, with
several sojourns through the years since then. Past
the Ballerina, Thompson Station, Fitzpatrick, Cecil,
and nothing but pastures and cows the rest of the way
to the bypass, I guess, but to be honest I do not
remember a bypass in my earlier years.
Smirk if you will, you cynics, but downtown Montgomery
was something like the Magical Kingdom for a Bullock
County boy those days. It was full of wonders like H.
L. Green, S. H. Kress and Woolworth's. The greatest
wonders, though, were those of gleaming white
buildings of state government and the thought that
right up there were all those famous people you saw on
Channel 12. Of course, I did not have a clue what they
did in those buildings back then, but the Capitol and
environs were always a real presence in my life.
Later, and interest in current affairs kept it a
presence, though I was not a serious student of
politics and was very naïve about the whole matter. I
thought all men were like my daddy, a truly great man,
unexcelled in character and my hero. I was a gullible
idealist. I suppose you were always to clever and
worldly-wise for such foolishness. Before you get to
proud, though, I call on Churchill to give his
testimony. He said something to this effect: If a man
is not a compassionate idealist when he is twenty, he
does not have a heart. If he is not a conservative
realist at forty, he does not have a brain.
Somewhere through the years, I went from casually
interested to a seriously concerned citizen. I made it
my business to find what really went on underneath the
headlines. What I discovered sobered and incensed me.
The result is this book. I have no desire to just
interest or just inform you. I want to incite you past
being concerned and bring you into indignation.
Without passion to propel us out of complacency,
nothing will ever be done about the larceny that
special interest has committed against the people of
Alabama by stealing their democracy.

10 Commandments
Deuteronomy 10
18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy 11:18-23, 26-28
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you,
to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Deuteronomy 6:1-9
- Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
- That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
- Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
- Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
- And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
- And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
- And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
- And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
- And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
