Does Sparks believe protestor has right to disrupt cemetery?
Congressman Artur Davis appreciates that Councilman Arthur Dowdell and he have a difference of opinion on the propriety of violating private gravesites.
Davis also realizes that Dowdell may be unaware that during the Business Council of Alabama forum in August, Ron Sparks publicly announced his own opposition to the very health care bill that Dowdell criticizes Davis for opposing.
But two questions for Sparks: Does he agree with Davis that a private cemetery is sacred ground or does he agree with Dowdell that a protester has the right to disrupt a cemetery if he is offended by the gravesite?
Does Sparks stand by his opposition to the House health care bill or does he now join Councilman Dowdell in supporting the House bill which is widely opposed in our state?
Last week, the Sparks campaign touted the Dowdell endorsement in a press release, making this one more instance where Sparks has put principle on the back burner in order to pander for votes.
