Alabama's Griffith, a physician and now a Republican:
Griffith: "I was not sent to congress to represent a party. I was sent to congress to represent the people....Joining the Republican party is what is best for our country, best for Alabama, best for our children's future...After watching this agenda firsthand I now believe that the differences in the two parties could not be more clear and that for me to be true to my core beliefs and values I must align myself with the Republican party and speak out clearly on these issues."Our job of tossing Nancy Pelosi out of the Speaker's Chair just got that much easier!
