Senator Sessions comes from a small town in rural Alabama. From a very early age he was instilled with the values that Alabamians hold dear. He believes in an honest day’s work, the importance of faith and family, protecting the sanctity of life, and keeping our children safe. He believes that God has blessed us with a great nation and he is proud of his patriotism and that of Alabama.
Senator Sessions has fought for those Alabama values in the United States Senate since he was first elected in 1996. He has worked hard to strengthen families by protecting the institution of marriage, increasing FCC penalties for indecency on television, and curtailing children’s exposure to Internet pornography. He has opposed partial birth abortion and public funding for abortions. He supports the right of children to pray in school and at athletic events and he believes that local faith based groups are often better suited to provide relief for those in need than a government bureaucracy.
Senator Sessions shares the belief that we should guard against government overreach, but when it acts it should act in a common sense way that strengthens our families and institutions. It is his continued goal to bring the values that make Alabama great to Washington and help raise them to the forefront of the national debate whenever possible.
