Good news at Robins Air Force Base

Posted by Randy | March 19, 2015

Real quick – wanted to be sure you had seen this good news. Recently, there was controversy at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia when a complaint was made over Airmen saying "have a blessed day” as part of their greeting to visitors at the security gate entrance. The phrase was not part of official protocol, but rather a traditional southern phrase offered voluntarily by the greeters.

After review, the Air Force reinforced that the phrase is perfectly acceptable under the new AFI 1-1 policy protecting religious freedom. You can read the Robins Air Force Base’s statement on their facebook page, here.

I will keep working to protect the ability of our men and women in uniform to exercise the very freedoms they are fighting for. To stay up to date on these issues, click here to like my Facebook page.

Randy, you aren't doing anything to protect the voting rights of citizens when you obstruct progress on the Voting Rights Act revision. You won't even acknowledge historic civil rights event anniversaries, and we got NOTHING from you regarding Selma. It's just a fraud of family values sir. I think you're lazy Randy and you harm your own neighbors with the obstruction and indifference suggests values far from expectations of this district.
