pledge today than it was the first day I made that pledge. I shall "Stand up for Alabama," as Governor of our State...you stand with me...and we, together, can give courageous leadership to millions of people throughout this nation who look to the South for their hope in this fight to win and preserve our freedoms and liberties.
So help me God.
And my prayer is that the Father who reigns above us will bless all the people of this great sovereign State and nation, both white and black.
I thank you.
