And not only in the state of Alabama, but this message will get across all over the South and all over the country that we here in the heart of Wallace Land, that we dare to stand and say and cast the vote for decency, for change, against racism, against divisive politics, against setting brother against brother, white against black, rich against poor.

Our merit system rule regarding the selection of employees is the same as the federal civil service system rule, and I can only feel that this lawsuit is an attempt to force the state to hire our employees on some basis other than merit.
