What is the Rocket City doing to attract Amazon's second headquarters to move here?

One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon.com

What are our city leaders doing to convince Amazon that Huntsville Alabama, The Rocket City, is best suited for Amazon's second headquarters ...and all the jobs that come with it? At this point we know the Rocket City has bid for consideration. We speculate they have offered the usual land and property incentives, the sizeable tax-breaks and other wining and dining experiences for Jeff Bezos and crew. Amazon invited cities to think big in drawing their attention and as CNN reports, Cities are doing wacky things to host Amazon's second headquarters.
Sadly, Huntsville wasn't mentioned in the article. What?
Being the high tech city we are, we should have a laser light pointed at the Saturn V Moon Rocket located at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. The laser should write messages on the rocket advertising a fictitious futuristic interstellar Amazon delivery of parcels headed for Mars supplied by rockets and technology developed in the Rocket City. A second idea would be the same advertisement as a colorful video on one or more of the large electronic billboards located around our city.

These are just a couple of ideas to draw Amazon HQ2 to the Rocket City while also getting Jeff Bezos and Amazon to think about what we can do for Amazon, as well as what Amazon could do for us. Throw your ideas out there on your social media sites and share your creativity. The Rocket City and Amazon ...it just makes sense.

Roy Moore disrupts Alabama Senate race - and prepares for new level of defiance in Washington

Article Excerpt: "... The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not what judicial supremacists say it is," he explained. "It's not debatable when it contradicts reason."...Moore started building his house here on weekends nearly 50 years ago, when he was still a twenty-something bachelor working as a deputy district attorney. He was living in a trailer at the time - a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and a Vietnam veteran who viewed hard manual labor as his hobby. "When I say I built it myself, I laid the block," he explained, as he approached the property. "I hand-dug the foundation, and laid the rock and filled the rock with cement that I mixed by hand." He also built the dining room table that his family still uses, and he hand-carved the bedposts on the four-poster bed he shares with his wife under plaques displaying the Ten Commandments. After his four kids joined them, he built a pool outside the back door, 15 feet deep with a jumping platform nearly as high. He then installed a circulating waterfall, which he decorated with another marble display of the Ten Commandments. A third set of commandments sits on the fireplace mantel..."
