Here is a special message from the desk of Joe Hubbard...

My great-grandfather and namesake, Joseph Lister Hill, was an Alabama Congressman and Senator for nearly half a century.  Alabama Public Television is airing a documentary on his service to Alabama and his country in the coming weeks. 

Please visit the APT website for local listings at http://www.aptv.org/schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=268189.
 
Senator Hill's legacy of public service is still with us today in Alabama.  Every Alabamian who received an education through the GI Bill has Lister Hill to thank; every Alabamian who has been employed with or has received electricity from the TVA has Lister Hill to thank; every Alabamian who has rural telephone service or rural housing assistance has Lister Hill to thank; and, every Alabamian who has received medical treatment in a county health clinic has Lister Hill to thank.
 
My great-grandfather understood that public service is not about political parties; it's about people, and good government is responsive to the needs of all people of all parties.  His bipartisan record reflects his belief that public service is the highest of callings.  I am humbled to carry on his legacy, and I will work to bring to our Statehouse that same spirit of cooperation and statesmanship that will put our government to work for each and every one of us.
