In this humorous exchange Rep. James Buskey of Mobile threatens to nominate Rep. Cam Ward for the shroud award if he doesn't carry over SB37 so the rainy day fund can be voted on. Rep. Buskey goes on to call for the House to march on the Senate.
I love it!

Go Cam Ward!!
Rep. Cam Ward gives an impassioned speech about his bill that would create the Alabama Autism Council during the filibuster. I love a moving speech that you can tell is from the heart and not from memorized, politicized meaningless words. Knowing that Cam's daughter has autism...well I almost cried when his voice began to crack a little bit during this speech.
Powerful stuff!
In my opinion Cam is one of the incredibly few 'white hat' legislators we have in Alabama. I hope he serves for a long time to come.

A little mutual love
Rep. Cam Ward and Rep. John Rogers show each other some love during the SB37 filibuster.
SB37
Rep. Cam Ward (R- Alabaster) (and one of my favorite reps.) carries SB37 on the floor. Rep. Alvin Holmes filibusters.

Slowdown/Filibuster Begins
(NOTE: As I get more segments produced I will upload them to this thread. Please scroll all the way to the bottom of this thread each time you visit to see if there is anything new.)
Members of the Alabama House are upset that the Senate has once again prevented anything meaningful from being accomplished in this 2008 session, so they employ the philosophy of "They started it" and begin a "If you can't beat'em, join'em" filibuster. Like that's helpful or something....If my kids acted like that I be liable to grab me a hickory switch and go to town tanning some hides.
Rep. Laura Hall of Madison claims she heard her bills were not being brought up in the Senate simply because they are her bills. Promises retribution and retaliation sometime before the quadrennium is over if this is proven true.
Rep. Joseph Mitchell pontificates on pro-active thought vs. reactive thought.
Rep. Mike Ball discussed pro-cop, anti-immigrant bills he wants passed.
Speaker asks Rep. McClendon what kind of Dr. he is. (A lighter moment)
