The United States is not getting the change is wanted when it elected Donald Trump to the presidency last year.

Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore said Saturday night he wants to be a part of the push to bring life to Trump's agenda.

Decked out in jeans, cowboy boots and a red tie under an overcoat at an outdoor event at a business selling farm equipment, Moore said Trump needs help in the Senate.

"In November 2016 when Donald Trump was elected, people wanted a change," Moore said at a political rally outside Decatur. "But we're not getting that change. The United States Senate is at a stalemate. They haven't been moving legislation. We need to move legislation. There are so many things."

It took Moore less than 90 seconds of a seven-minute speech to again trumpet on some of the conservative values he holds.

"We don't need transgender bathrooms and we don't need transgender military and we don't need a weaker military," Moore said. "We need to go back to what this country is about."

Moore said those policies will remain in place if his opponent, Democrat Doug Jones, is elected on Dec. 12. Though he did not say former President Barack Obama's name, Moore alluded to the fact that those policies were established during his administration.

Moore -- twice removed from the Alabama Supreme Court, including once for opposing same-sex marriage ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court -- also briefly spoke to reporters before his speech.

He was asked about Muslims serving in Congress. Moore famously spoke out in 2006 when U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress.

Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake said he would not support Moore because of that position.

"Of course they can serve," Moore said Saturday. But he said that when they take the oath of office by placing their hand on the Bible, they are swearing an oath to swear to "a God who is not of their faith."

When he took the ceremonial oath on Jan. 5, 2007, Ellison placed his hand on a Quran once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

On stage, Moore said the rights of Americans come from God.

"If God doesn't give you your rights, where do you think they come from?" Moore said. "Government? If they come from government, government will take them from you. That's what we are seeing with the United States Supreme Court and other bodies in our government. They are taking our rights - the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to the pursuit of happiness.

"Those things come from God, they do not come from government."

Later, Moore said, "We've got to stand up for our rights. If we don't, we'll lose them."

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, spoke at the rally before Moore and urged the audience of about 200 people to vote for Moore and not assume he will sail to victory. Voters should also be motivated to protect the majorities held by Republicans in the House and Senate

"It's not a given we're going to win on Dec. 12," Brooks said. "We have to win it because if Doug Jones wins it, the Democrats are primed to take back the House and take back the Senate. That is what is at stake in Alabama on Dec. 12.

"They believe if they can win the state of Alabama, that they can win everywhere. And that would encourage their people to throw a bunch of money at all these races and put us at risk."

While Moore campaigned during the primary as a constitutionalist who values revamping the federal judicial system, he has said little about specific issues unique to Alabamians.

Asked about an issue he views as uniquely critical to the people in his home state, Moore spoke about the military.

"We've got a big military establishment here," Moore said. "We need special attention in the military. We need somebody who has been in the military, as I have, and somebody who has been to war to understand what it's about. I think the military establishment from Mobile to Huntsville to all the places in between, Fort Rucker, these are very important issues and I think we should concentrate on those things.

"The military is a very big part of this state. We're one of the most patriotic states. We send more national guard into places like Iraq and Afghanistan than most states. It's a very big patriot state and I'm very proud to be from here."

In talking with reporters, Moore also dismissed reports of wrongdoing within his Foundation for Moral Law. The Washington Post and AL.com have raised questions about the foundation's financial dealings.

Moore said he has not been paid more than $1 million by the foundation and received an average annual salary of $87,000.

He described reporting on the foundation by The Post as "a hit piece" and pointed out that the newspaper has endorsed Jones. Though the Moore campaign called for The Post to retract its story, the newspaper said it stood behind its reporting.

Moore made a rare public appearance since he won the GOP nomination over U.S. Sen. Luther Strange on Sept. 26. He told the audience that he will be traveling to Washington next week but then will be interacting with Alabama voters in the weeks leading up to the election.

Moore will be attending a Nov. 1 fundraiser in Washington hosted by U.S. Sens. Rand Paul and Mike Lee, both of whom has endorsed Moore.

"We're going to have a lot of activity in the next several weeks," Moore said. "I'll be going to Washington next week and after that, I'll return and we'll be going at it very strongly in the coming weeks."
