Josh Segall is Back Again

Josh Segall has officially kicked off his second attempt to unseat Rep. Mike Rogers in Alabama’s Third Congressional District. He would be my congressman. I voted for him the last time around and I wholeheartedly endorse him again. He is exactly the kind of leader this state needs in Congress, and I hope to see him victorious next November.

I’ll link to the same segment of video as countrycat, in case you need a demonstration of the kind of leader he is…

Some Praise for Rep. Mike Rogers: Cap and Trade Can Work

If you read the letter our congressional delegation sent to the President on cap and trade, you will see the same nuance that Rep. Mike Rogers expresses here:

As currently written, this bill could raise our utility bills right when gas prices are also rising.

Like it or not, the South still relies on coal for much of its energy. Coal, of course, is high in carbon emissions, and under a cap and trade system would be “taxed” heavily. Those costs likely would be passed on to Alabama consumers and our vital manufacturing sector.

That’s why this legislation could be harmful to East Alabama families. It’s also why I will continue to oppose it unless the bill improves for Alabama.

As gas prices rise, I also plan to keep my focus on renewable and alternative energy initiatives Congress should support.

Lots of “likely”s and “could”s and “as written” there. I give Rep. Rogers high marks for nuance here and understanding that a bill is a work in progress and there are modifications that could be made that would satisfy the Alabama delegations concerns.

He goes on to discuss his FREE Act, which tackles one of the thornier issues out there in the energy sector, drilling in ANWR. I think that bill is likely dead on arrival, but give him credit as well for trying to do something positive with the royalities that would be realized from such drilling (though I am still not at this time in support of exploration in ANWR).

Who is Josh Segall?

This is a great post covering who Josh Segall is and offering some video of his speeches during the last campaign:

Left In Alabama:: Joshua Segall The Farmers’ Market Candidate For Congress.

YES!!! Josh Segall is in the Race for AL-03

My favorite candidate from the 2008 election cycle, Josh Segall will run again in 2010 to attempt to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in Alabama’s 3rd Congressional District.

Josh was my favorite candidate because he is close to my age, no one gave him a chance, and he almost pulled a huge upset. The 3rd also happens to be my district, and I would be so proud to have him as my representative in Congress.

Expect more coverage as the campaign revs up here on TWAY.
