	Alabama Governor Thomas Hill Watts
		Governor Watts was also faced with rising desertion rates, states' rights issues including the controversy over the conscription of the cadets at the University of Alabama, the issue of which state civil officials were exempt from conscription, the defense of Mobile, blockade-running, and cotton trading with Europe.
		During the winter of 1864-65, Governor Watts had to deal with the increasing number of sacrifices demanded of his state, the breakdown of authority, the drain on war power, and an evaporating hope of victory, all of which contributed to the state's war weariness.
		Governor Watts was well aware of his ineffectiveness and unpopularity by this time and made no effort toward reelection, although he continued to talk optimistically about the military situation.

	Letter to the Governor of Alabama
		Governor, you have not been properly informed regarding the events of 1919-1922.
		Governor, you praise Mustapha Kemal but American Consul General to Smyrna George Horton used the word "extermination" to describe Kemal's policies towards the Christians.
		As such, I am greatly disturbed not only that the Governor of Alabama would honor such a horrible man who belongs in the same category as Hitler and Stalin, but that the Governor would slander the Greek Army and the honorable and idealistic Greek soldier who fought for patriotic and spiritual ideals.

		Alabama is in the heart of the Bible Belt.
		But the way that Alabama Governor Bob Riley looks at things, he sees a state filled with heathens who ignore the word of God.
		You see, Governor Riley, who opposed all tax increases while in Congress and who defeated an incumbent governor on a platform of not raising taxes, suddenly reversed course once in office, and advocated a $1.2 billion tax increase.

	Alabama Governor Bob Riley’s $1.2 billion tax increase defeated
		Not only was Governor Bob Riley’s $1.2 billion tax increase defeated — it was bludgeoned to death with only 33% of voters voting "yes." On September 9th, Alabama voters sent a resounding message to politicians in Montgomery — no new taxes.
		As products of the Alabama public school system, voters were continually told they were the dumbest graduates in the country — at least that’s what the test scores said.
		The governor even went so far as to tell the people of Alabama that voting "yes" would be the "Christian" thing to do.

	Petition to urge Judge Roy Moore to run for governor of Alabama > (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A Governor is needed who will stand up to the special interests whose powerful influence is detrimental to our state, and those who continually attempt to raise our burden of taxes and bind the citizens and businesses with unnecessary bureaucratic rules and regulations.
		A Governor is needed who has strong moral values, and whose word we can count on to do what he says he will do and who understands that doing the will of the people is doing what is morally right.
		A Governor is needed who will protect, defend, and preserve our state constitution that has served us so well, and who will prevent a new Constitution rewrite; whereas the current proponents of a constitutional rewrite have the motive of making it easier to raise taxes and to legalize gambling.

	George Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alabama's state constitution prevented him from seeking a second term in 1966, a restriction that was eventually repealed, largely due to the work of his backers—but not in time for Wallace himself to run that year.
		Wallace circumvented this by having his wife, Lurleen Wallace, run for the office as a surrogate candidate, similar to the 1917 run of Ma Ferguson for the governorship of Texas on behalf of her husband, who had been impeached and was barred from running himself.
		She was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor Albert Brewer, reducing Wallace's influence until his new bid for election in his own right in 1970.
