I urge all to click on the hyperlink below and listen to former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman's (D) 1999 inaugural speech which was posted to Pam Miles list serve by Esther Davis. where he discussed the importance of education in the future
of Alabama. He proposed a program to provide four-year-olds with a
pre-kindergarten education. He also announced the organization of an
education lottery that will allow all high school graduates to go to
college tuition free.
Governor Siegelman's friend and proud supporter Al McCullough writes the following;
What a
reminder of why we participate and work in this arena! Don is one
of the great men of Alabama who dared to lead this state toward
greatness. He shared so intimately in our hopes, dreams and
disappointments and never took his eye off the prize - a better
life for every single one of us as a shared benefit of the bounty
of our state and our society. And this better life was not
something to be given us by some other or sold to us by some other
but earned by each of us by equipping us with the necessary
education and training to reach out and grasp that life, to
participate as fully as we are each able, as we each add to our
state's bounty. Don Siegelman's goal was to start this state on an
upward trajectory with all sharing in a better life.
Don Siegelman is truly a man of the people. His heart was always with all of us and remains with all of us even in his persecution by little men with little minds who conspire endlessly to pervert our governments and our society with their lies and deceit. We must not allow this persecution to continue! We must stand for and demand Justice!
Yes, that Justice with a capitol letter. That is the justice Don's persecutors fear most deeply in their gut. They know that only by perverting Justice can they succeed in their corrupt lives. Lives that demand outrageous levels and amounts of secrecy. Lives that require that anyone who knows the secret practices of their deceitful actions be defamed and more than marginalized. We must pursue and demand Justice and, as a people, a society, a state and a nation, require that Justice be practiced by all in our representative government and all its agencies so that the Justice Department earns and lives up to that title. At present, after over thirty years of internal perversion that misnamed branch needs to have its title changed to the Legal Department. For legal has nothing to do with Justice in the present time. Our best lawyers and legal scholars are reduced to being legal technicians. We deserve more. We must require more. We must pursue and demand Justice and freedom for Don Siegelman!
- Peace, Al

It's time to for President Obama to pardon former governor Don Siegleman whose only crime was being being too liberal for Alabama.
