Press Release | Alabama Policy Institute Alabama Policy Institute Expands Investment in the State’s Future with New Alabama Policy Leaders Program Birmingham, AL – For nearly 40 years, the Alabama Policy Institute (API) has served as a stalwart champion of policies that advance free markets, limited government, and strong families.

Babylon Bee CEO brings message of courage to API’s annual dinner: ‘What better hill is there to die on than reality itself?’
Sep 29, 2026 · original
Grayson Everett | September 25, 2026 | Yellowhammer News Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon told the Alabama Policy Institute’s annual dinner Thursday night that his company gave up more than 40% of its web traffic rather than delete a joke. In his words, the lesson for Alabama’s conservatives is to stop counting what freedom – and common sense – costs. “There is no price that we shouldn’t be willing to pay for freedom,” Dillon said. “We have to stop caring what it costs us.” The dinner marked API’s 37th year. It opened with a toast to the founders the organization lost in 2026, recognized State Senate and House members as 2026 legislative champions, and gave the Warrior Award to Melea Stephens, the Alabama therapist whose testimony helped pass the App Store Accountability Act . U.S. Senator and 2026 favorite in the Alabama governor’s race, Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-

Julianne Davis | 09.27.26 1819 News BIRMINGHAM — Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon delivered the keynote address, focusing on the company’s pillars of free speech and faith, at the Alabama Policy Institute’s (API) annual dinner on Thursday night in Birmingham. Dillon opened by honoring last year’s speaker, Tim Tebow and shared his favorite Babylon Bee headline he wrote early on at the company: “Tim Tebow Suspended for Using Performance-Enhancing Bible Verses.” He added, “He shared that.” He then described the challenges Babylon Bee has faced with censorship, largely from Twitter and fact-checking sources. After being suspended for a controversial post that Twitter deemed “hateful conduct,” Elon Musk reached out to get answers about Babylon Bee’s suspension. Musk said, “You guys have integrity, maybe I just need to buy Twitter.” After he bought Twitter, Musk created an opportunity for Babylon B
Alabama’s Health Insurance Debate Must Include Taxpayers
Sep 9, 2026 · original
Birmingh am, AL – Twenty dollars a month has become a flashpoint in Alabama’s state employee health insurance debate. But the discussion should include the people paying much of the benefits bill: taxpayers. Maintaining affordable coverage for public employees is a reasonable goal. Maintaining it through continually increasing state government subsidies deserves closer attention. Alabama families paying their own premiums, deductibles, and taxes deserve to know whether the state is making a sustainable commitment or simply passing along another bill to them. The State Employees’ Insurance Board’s (SEIB) executive board has recommended a $20 monthly employee premium increase, equivalent to $240 annually. The full board is scheduled to consider the changes September 10, with changes taking effect on January 1, 2027. The proposal also includes prescription and other benefit changes, meaning

Technological tools should never undermine the foundational principles of a free society
Aug 25, 2026 · original
Conservatives Must Reclaim the Fourth Amendment from Mass Surveillance Every day, hundreds of thousands of Alabamians drive to work, drop their children off at school, go to church, and run errands with the quiet, fundamental understanding that unless they are suspected of a crime, the government is not tracking their every move. Americans once understood instinctively that a free citizen ought to be able to travel public roads without the government keeping a ledger of their movements. Law enforcement watched suspects because it had a specific reason to suspect them, it did not watch everybody in the hope that someday the information collected on them might become useful. Yet, quietly and systematically, that reasonable expectation of privacy is being erased across the Yellowhammer State. From the Birmingham metro area, where nearly 1,500 automated license plate readers operate, to smal
Alabama lawmakers may soon restrict or ban state’s 2,800 Flock cameras: ‘We need to rein them in’
Aug 25, 2026 · original
Al.com John Sharp and Ruth Serven Smith Everywhere she goes, Faith Wheeler says she can’t escape the prying lenses of the cameras around her city – including by her driveway. “I feel like I’m being watched,” said Wheeler, a sophomore at Gulf Shores High School. She’s not alone. Alabama lawmakers are poised to consider new restrictions on automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras as privacy concerns mount over the rapid expansion of the technology across the state — and the nation. “We need to address this issue,” said state Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur. “The status quo … is totally unacceptable. We need to tighten the screws on the license plate readers in a big way.” Alabama has no specific law regulating the technology, even as thousands of cameras are operating statewide. That’s despite growing concerns from civil liberties advocates like the ACLU and conservative organizations like
Reports of the Death of American Capitalism have been greatly exaggerated
Aug 5, 2026 · original
Op-Ed by Stephanie Smith, President/CEO of the Alabama Policy Institute BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – August 3, 2026 While headlines and recent low-turnout primary victories might suggest a growing ideological shift in America, recent polling data from the Napolitan Institute reveals that public support for socialism is not actually increasing. Over the past decade, the percentage of nationwide voters with a favorable opinion of socialism has remained remarkably flat, holding steadily between 30% and 35%, and sitting at 31% today. In contrast, capitalism/free markets, defined as an economic system based on supply and demand with limited government control or intervention, where private individuals and businesses freely exchange goods and services, continue to enjoy widespread backing. Overall, 59% of voters hold a favorable opinion of free markets, including a majority of both Republicans at 67% an
