The B'ham News is out to "slime" Davis. What is his crime?
Two years ago, I would have been confident that these things
could not happen in the United States of America. These events
occurred under the watch of two presidents and three attorneys
general. This is a civil rights issue. The selective prosecutions in
Montgomery, Alabama have far reaching implications for every
citizen of the United States. A legal precedent has been set,
a precedent that significantly abridges the civil rights and civil
liberties guaranteed to every citizen of the United States by the
U.S. Constitution. Today I passed the civil rights memorial at the
Southern Poverty Law Center here in Montgomery, Alabama.
The memorial is dedicated to the memory and achievements of
those who gave their lives to advance civil rights in this country.
It is breathtaking to behold the glistening water, softly flowing
over an ebony stone upon which is inscribed, "until justice rolls
down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."

Grant Woods (R)
Former Attorney General of Arizona and co-chair of the McCain for
President Leadership Committee
Before CBS News Show "60 Minutes" was broadcast Mike
Hubbard and the Alabama G.O.P. issued a statement which
characterized the CBS broadcast as an 'anti-Republican attack
piece'. Remarkably, two of CBS "60 Minutes" star witnesses
were Republican. And not just any Republican...Grant Woods is
co-chair of the McCain for President leadership committee, and
a lifelong friend and advisor to the presumptive 2008 G.O.P.
Presidential candidate. Woods is also godfather to one of the
McCain children.
Approaching the House Judiciary committee with over 50 other
former Attorney's General, Woods signed a petition asking for
an investigation of some irregular prosecutions, including the
prosecution of Governor Siegelman in Alabama. On the "60
Minutes" piece, Woods was asked whether his party loyalty was
compromised by supporting a democrat. The high-point of the
show was his reply: he was an American first.

| Whistle Blower Tamara Grimes was fired from her job. "I have always considered myself to be a moderate Republican,” she said. “I believe in the U.S. Constitution, and that what happened in Montgomery with the Siegelman/Scrushy prosecution is a travesty of justice." |
