Gil Aust 
 
CONGRESS
 
 
Gil Aust grew up poor on a family farm in Geiger, Alabama. At one time, his dad worked three jobs leaving Gil to run the farm. Many times after football practice, Gil fed cattle using a flashlight. It was on this farm and in the Geiger Methodist Church that Gil learned Christian values, hard work, and responsibility. These principles shape his life and his view of America.  Aust family
          It was no easy road for Gil Aust.  He worked to pay his own way through college and medical school.  He knows the value of education and wants control of our schools in the 
hands of local parents and teachers, not Washington bureaucrats.  After his residency, Gil moved to Huntsville to set up his medical practice and began true service to the people of North Alabama. 
 
Aust family2 On May 15, 1996, Gil's father was beaten and murdered during broad daylight in his Geiger country store. His father's killer still walks the streets. In a town where people once didn't lock their doors at night, an innocent man was senselessly murdered -- and nothing was done. His father's death had a profound impact on Gil and deeply motivates him today. 
 

          Gil will be tough on criminals and drug dealers. No one should see a loved one lost to a senseless crime. No one. Our families must feel safe in their own neighborhoods. He knows that we must protect law abiding citizens' right to keep and bear arms. 

          Growing up on a family farm, he knows the importance of agriculture to our country. 

          Gil built a business from the ground up and can bring new business to our area. He will work to replace unsteady, lower-paying jobs with more reliable, better paying ones. He supports a simpler, fairer tax system and a balanced budget. 

          Gil is pro-life and supports prayer in school.

          Gil Aust will be a leading advocate for a strong national defense and will fight for new and existing tactical and strategic defense projects. A strong defense does not mean unlimited foreign aid, which he opposes. 

          Looking to the future, Gil wants to reduce the size and scope of government, starting with unnecessary federal programs and regulations.  We must reduce government spending starting with giveaway welfare programs and illegal immigration. 

         As a doctor Gil has worked to help families and serve people. Gil has treated hundreds of patients on Medicare. He knows the system must be protected for our seniors. He wants to return free market forces to medicine, reducing heath-care costs for working families and put them back in control. 

 He knows that to truly help families, he must fight to change Washington. It is the politicians who will say one thing and do another, who are trying to keep a job rather than do a job, that are letting us down. Gil doesn't just talk about the issues, he has lived them. Gil Aust is a fighter who has built a career helping people and solving problems, not a follower who has spent a career trying to get re-elected.

    CAREER POLITICIANS ARE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS TO KEEP A JOB.  GIL AUST IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS TO DO A JOB.
 

Consider where I stand.  If you agree, please join my fight to return values to our government, safety to our streets, and common sense to our laws.
