Montgomery, AL – In light of the recent events involving a heinous attack by Hamas on Israel, I, State Representative David Faulkner of Alabama District 46, stand resolutely in the sponsorship of Alabama State House of Representatives Resolution HR201.
The Alabama House of Representatives recognizes the enduring bond between the United States and the State of Israel. It is essential that we affirm our commitment to the security, welfare, and survival of Israel. Our thoughts are with the innocent Israeli civilians affected by these attacks, especially the families and communities mourning their loved ones.
The tactics of using civilian population centers as a shield by Hamas are condemnable, and the organization's acts are a blatant infringement on Israel's right to defend its citizens. The coinciding of these attacks with the Jewish Sabbath and the celebration of the Sukkoth holiday is a grim reminder of the depths to which this organization will go to cause chaos and heartache.
The passage of HR201 is not just symbolic; it is a testament to Alabama's commitment to the State of Israel and our absolute condemnation of acts of terror. The Speaker, Speaker Pro-Tem, as well as many other members of the Alabama House join me in supporting this Resolution. Our longstanding bond with Israel is strengthened with such legislative actions, and our thoughts remain steadfastly with the innocent Israeli civilians affected.
We call upon our fellow American states to join us in condemning Hamas and recognizing Israel's inherent right to act decisively in self-defense. Furthermore, we urge the United States Congress to extend all necessary support to Israel in its defense against Hamas and all entities threatening its peace and security.
Our deepest condolences go out to all the victims, and we commend the resilience and bravery of the State of Israel and its people. Alabama law enforcement is reminded to stay vigilant and ensure the safety and protection of Israeli Americans, Jewish Americans, and all supporters of Israel.
In unity and peace,
State Representative David Faulkner
Alabama District 46
From a third-grader advocating for her teachers with a PowerPoint to three high school students landing $250,000 to bring debate to schools across Alabama, Week 10 was a reminder of why this work matters. The Camp Safety Act cleared another unanimous vote, the Education Trust Fund budget headed to the Senate with a teacher pay raise included, and the Mountain Brook Fire Department received a grant for state-of-the-art paramedic training equipment.
The Camp Safety Act is headed for its Senate vote this week. One of David's bills clears the full legislature and reaches the Governor's desk. And with three weeks left in the session, the homestretch is officially underway.
Alabama passed Trey's Law. Now Congress is following our lead. I was on Capitol Hill this week as Senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt filed the federal version of the bill - here's what that moment meant.
Crime victims are getting their funding restored, a Homewood pedestrian bridge is underway, and several of my bills are one step from final passage. A busy week in Montgomery - here's the full update.
A long Tuesday night in Montgomery produced three unanimous votes, and a major self-defense bill cleared its biggest Senate hurdle. Here's everything that moved in Week 7 - from arson reform to protecting houses of worship.
We had our weekly call with the Governor this morning, and she confirmed she will be giving a report to the people of Alabama Tomorrow
do expect the Governor to BEGIN lessening the restrictions and limitations imposed by the latest State Health Order as of May 1st.
The Governor and Alabama State Health Officer, Dr. Scott Harris, shared Alabama’s most recent numbers and updates...
