| Alabama congressman joins new tea party caucus |
| 2010-08-05 |
| Republican U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt of Haleyville has become the first member of Alabama's congressional delegation to announce he has joined the new Congressional Tea Party Caucus. The tea party caucus was formed last month by Republican Rep. Michelle Bachman of Minnesota. Aderholt announced Tuesday on his Facebook page that he agrees with the tea party movement's support for smaller, more conservative government and has joined the new caucus. Aderholt said in his Facebook posting that he has gone along with the goals of the tea party movement and voted against health care reform, bailouts and other "liberal spending policies that the majority in Washington has pushed on America." |
