If they want to get [my statue of] the Commandments, they're going to have to get me first.
Worship With Your Vote.
To restore morality we must first recognize the source from which all morality springs. From our earliest history in 1776 when we were declared to be the United States of America, our forefathers recognized the sovereignty of God.
If you're here tonight to support me, you shouldn't be here. This is not about me. This is about something far more important. It transcends race, it transcends politics, it transcends gender. This is about the laws of God.
I feel that I'm sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Alabama, and those constitutions are founded upon a fundamental belief in God ... my display of the Ten Commandments and prayer before sessions are simply acknowledgments of God.
I consider it my duty to acknowledge God. To take down the Ten Commandments and to stop holding prayer would be a violation of that duty. I will not take down the Ten Commandments and I will not stop holding prayer.
All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that.
I must acknowledge God. It says so in the Constitution of Alabama. It says so in the First Amendment of the Constitution.
Acknowledgment of God is not now, or ever has been, a violation of the US constitution.
