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.

All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that.

But I have made no plans to run for any office right now.

We may have failed to teach our children right from wrong, but we've done a great job of teaching self-esteem!

You wonder why we're having shootings and killings here in 2017? Because we've asked for it. We've taken prayer out of school.

Anytime you deny the acknowledgement of God you are undermining the entire basis for which our country exists.

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.
