Roll Tide! #Our67#RTR   Thank you to everyone who coordinated and attended yesterday morning's Tennessee Valley Republican Club meeting. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about what it means to be an American and the foundational economic principles that have made our country the greatest in the world. #Our67 A very special moment of the meeting occurred when Emo Furfori of Ballcorps presented the Brooks family with a North Alabama baseball as a token of appreciation for Congressman Brooks's continued public service. Club President Chris Horn also called the children up to the podium to demonstrate the importance of the future of our nation.       Thank you to J-Max Logistics for your investment in Alabama! J-Max Logistics supports the trucking industry and has expanded its corporate operations in Huntsville.
