Ala. GOP agenda includes Arizona immigration law
Republican candidates hoping to end Democratic dominance of the Alabama Legislature unveiled an agenda Monday that includes passing an Arizona-style immigration law and prohibiting the federal government from compelling any Alabamian to participate in a health care system.
