CONGRESSMAN ADERHOLT STATEMENT ON MCCAIN’S VP CHOICE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) today made the following statement on John McCain’s vice presidential candidate choice, Governor Sarah Palin.

“I am excited about the choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate. Governor Palin’s style of leadership represents the hard working people of America and the conservative values of Alabama. Sarah Palin has proven her strong pro-life values and, as a long-time NRA member, has been a strong defender for 2nd Amendment rights for many years.”

“As a strong proponent for energy exploration, I am also excited about the fact that Governor Palin has a history of fighting for the development of new energy resources to bring down the high cost of gasoline. Alaska has a significant amount of energy resources and she supports many measures that make America energy independent from foreign oil.”

“Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington and I look forward to helping the McCain-Palin campaign win in November.”
