Congressman Brooks: “Alabama Republicans Can Make a Difference in Vital Swing States”
Madison, Ala. – Congressman Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) and T.J. Maloney, Executive Director of the Alabama Republican Party, announced to the press and conservative activists at the Madison and Limestone Counties Headquarters in Madison the formation of the Alabama Battleground Patriots initiative.
“Everywhere our Chairman, Bill Armistead, went in Alabama, people are always asking him how they can help make a difference in the presidential election in vital swing states,” Maloney told the gathered crowd. “We know that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will easily carry Alabama, so our in-state efforts are being focused on putting Republicans in office at the county level, especially in counties where Republicans were never before competitive.
“But as important as it is to elect Republicans to office in Alabama courthouses, it is equally important that we put a Republican in the White House this November. The Presidential election will ultimately be won in swing states such as Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and Florida, and that’s why I created the Alabama Battleground Patriots,” Maloney continued. “Through this program, Alabama Republicans will be able to travel to the states that need our help the most, working hand-in-hand with the RNC and the Romney/Ryan campaign.”
Three trips have been scheduled to take place from Sunday, October 21 through Saturday October 27. Two groups will depart from Birmingham, one being deployed to Charlotte, North Carolina and the other to Virginia Beach, Virginia. Another group will depart from Baldwin County and travel to Jacksonville, Florida. A fourth trip is scheduled out of Huntsville to Dayton, Ohio and will take place from Wednesday, October 24th through Sunday, October 28th. This group will be led by Congressman Mo Brooks (R – Huntsville). Information for the program can be found atwww.AlabamaBattlegroundPatriots.com.
“Without question, our country is facing the most important election in my lifetime,” said Congressman Mo Brooks. “We simply can’t afford another four years of Barack Obama, and by participating in the Alabama Battleground Patriots, Alabama Republicans can make a difference in vital swing states. I’m excited about the small part I will play and I encourage each of you to join me as we work to put Romney in the White House.”
The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, has lent his support to the Alabama Battleground Patriots program and issued the following statement. “As Chairman of the Republican National Committee, I humbly request your help to ensure Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan win the swing-states that are so vital to victory in this election. I am grateful that Chairman Bill Armistead has created the Alabama Battleground Patriots in order to help make that happen. I encourage you to get involved to the fullest extent possible, whether it’s deploying to a battleground state or making a generous donation to support these efforts. Your efforts could make all the difference. Thank you for your continued hard work and thank you for your unwavering devotion to the principles that make this the greatest country in the world.”
