Dear Fellow Alabamians:
Thank you for your support which enabled me to narrowly defeat Tim James for second place in yesterday’s primary election. The battle for second place was hard fought, and I will now join Bradley Byrne in the July 13, 2010 primary runoff to be the Republican Nominee for Governor of Alabama.
I am humbled and grateful to the people of Alabama for their support in the primary and for their belief that I could win. I believe my success is due to my focus on putting Alabamians back to work, cleaning out Montgomery, and offering substantive solutions to Alabama’s problems. I couldn’t have done it without the grassroots support of Alabamians across the state, and I will continue to focus on these issues during the runoff.
I also believe that Alabamians responded to my positive campaign which focused on solving Alabama’s economic and employment problems. Alabamians are sick of all the negative attack ads on TV. I have run a very positive campaign for the last year and will continue to do throughout the runoff.
Now that the primary is over and the runoff begins, I ask that all Republican voters consider voting for me in the runoff election.
Sincerely,
DEAR DR. BENTLEY,
SO HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE RUN-OFF. ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO HELP I WILL BE GLAD TO.
PLEASE ACCEPT THIS EMAIL AS A COMMITTMENT FOR YOU FROM ME.I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE KIND OF MAN THAT WILL RESTORE HONOR TO THE STATE HOUSE.
FROM BALDWIN COUTY AL, – FAIRHOPE.
SINCERELY,
RODDY MARTIN

I’m so glad that you will be in the run-off with Byrne. A member of my family knows him personally and said he’s the “kind of man that has to take a poll before he knows where he stands on something.” YUCK! That’s the last thing we need! I’ll take some Bentley sign for my yard down here in Mobile!!

Mr. Bentley, please get a MySpace page. I would add you if you did. I have already requested you at FaceBook. I just want to tell you that I really do respect your integrity and honesty. You definitely have my vote in the run off with Byrne and in November as well. God bless you. It is about time we had a candidate like you.
