This writer has long enjoyed powerful oratory, even if one may not agree with the content of the oratory. Somehow, some messages are so sacred,that one would not put them into the category of powerful oratory, but are more the delivering of the heart. This morning (03/13) I heard a message unlike many I have heard in my life.
George Wallace, Jr., accompanied by his lovely and charming wife Elizabeth, was the speaker for the monthly meeting of the Mid-Alabama Republican Club.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Former State Treasurer George Wallace Jr. wants his old job back and wants to save Alabama’s financially troubled prepaid college tuition plan.
“I want to end my political career where I started it and shore up this program,” Wallace announced Tuesday.

Wallace, a Republican, says he expects to make a decision within a month.
Wallace served two terms as treasurer and helped start Alabama’s prepaid college tuition program. Wallace says he thought he was finished with politics after losing the lieutenant governor’s race in 2006, but many people have encouraged him to run again and help shore up the financially troubled tuition program.
If Wallace runs, he will join Republican Terry Dunn and Democrat Jeremy Sherer in the race. Both said Wednesday they plan to stay in the race if Wallace enters it.
