Organized emailing in Alabama seeks to break out of people's Facebook silos and engage with non-likeminded people and "institutions" in order to try to influence Alabama public opinion and voting.
This is to be done by "working" an issue through organized emailing.
The "working" needs a start, and then the same needs to be expanded.
Let me pick the issue of "rule of law" and start work on the same.
First there needs to be a basis of items to work from.
Rule of law

Subject: Republican Attorney General primary debate held at The Club
Dear Republican Alabama Attorney General candidates Robertson, Mitchell and Casey:
I am developing a strategy of organized emailing as set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Strategy and tactics of organized emailing.
The first issue I am taking up for organized emailing is the rule of law.
You participated in a debate at The Club in Birmingham on March 19th, as reported at GOP Attorney General candidates face off at debate - Alabama Daily News.
I believe this debate can be utilized in starting organized emailing about the rule of law, and I will post this email on my link set forth above.
Alabama Policy Institute's Facebook post about the debate indicates that WBRC 6 News' Jonathan Harbison and 105.5 WERC's JT Nyse were on the debate panel, and they are copied on this email (JT via 105.5 WERC's online contact form), as well as the Alabama Daily News reporter Claire Harrison (via todd@aldailynews.com).
I hope organized emailing will impact the rule of law issue in Alabama.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: To AL State Bar Executive Council- re organized emailing in AL and rule of law
I am trying to generate organized emailing in Alabama regarding the rule of law. See "Rule of law" in Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Strategy and tactics of organized emailing.
This email to the Alabama State Bar Executive Council is in furtherance of such goal and will be posted in the foregoing link.
To add current grist for conversation, I link a video of Todd Blanche's news conference on Tuesday. WATCH LIVE: Acting Attorney General Blanche holds news conference.
In the news conference, Todd Blanche announced the creation of a National Fraud Enforcement Division and also responded to questions about whether he will be facing additional pressure by Donald Trump to secure indictments against political opponents, saying every case would be investigated "to the fullest extent of the law, using all of the resources we can," including those involving Donald Trump's enemies.
In the news conference, Todd Blanche fulsomely expressed his love for Donald Trump.
If I can get organized emailing going, maybe the Alabama State Bar Executive Council will join in public conversation about Todd Blanche and other matters that concern or should concern Americans about the rule of law.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Hosey:
This email is prompted by your Facebook post "celebrating our next Attorney General Katherine Robertson."
I am a retired Alabama lawyer who thinks that Donald Trump is destroying the rule of law in the United States and that the candidates for Alabama attorney general should express their views about this to help Alabama voters form their own views about the matter and about which candidates evidence satisfactory understanding of what the rule of law is about in the United States and in Alabama.
I am trying to get this to happen, including by means of the below email I sent to the candidates and others in connection with the debate at The Club on March 19th.
This email is intended to push this forward, and I am copying on this email the parties to whom I sent the below email.
Thank you for accommodating this communication to you.

Subject: Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee, Sen. Tuberville and "corrupt" judges
Dear Judge Johnson,
I am writing to you in your capacity as Chair of the Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville says, if he becomes governor, he will be very proactive to reduce crime in Alabama. Tuberville promises to clean up crime in Montgomery if elected governor: Won’t allow Alabamians to ‘live in a war zone’ - NewsBreak.
According to Sen. Tuberville, "corrupt" judges are a significant part of the crime problem, Sen. Tuberville saying “We’re going to go after these corrupt judges that when these people are arrested, they go through the front door and let them out the back door."
Does the Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee have anything to say about what Sen. Tuberville says about "corrupt" judges contributing to the crime problem in Alabama?
I am a retired Alabama lawyer asking the foregoing question.
Also, I am in touch with Alabamians who are not lawyers about this question, one of whom I am copying on this email (in addition to Michael Yaffee of Yellowhammer News, who wrote the linked article).
Thank you for whatever can say in response to this email.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Re: University of Montevallo Presidential search and Donald Trump
Dear "reply to all" email recipients:
Millions of Americans have protested in the streets against Donald Trump.
Now, polls indicate that tens of millions of Americans "strongly disapprove" of Donald Trump.
Trump seems unfazed and increasingly hellbent for more power, self-aggrandizement and self-glorification.
We are individually puny and individually can only do puny things against Trump.
Each must do their own puny thing, with a view to all of our puny things adding up to stop Trump.
My puny thing is using, and trying to get others to use, email to expand the national protest against Donald Trump.
I am gratified that, on my original email here, one recipient (Anita Alley) did a "reply to all" email, a recipient of Anita's "reply to all" email (Laurie Beth Kesterson) did a further "reply to all" email, and this has afforded me the opportunity to do this "reply to all" email to Laurie Beth's email.
I would like to think that these "reply to all" emails result in increased attention to the battling that tens of millions of Americans are doing against Donald Trump and that inspires people to participate in the organized emailing I am trying to promote.
Thanks for your consideration here.

Subject: Re: ATTENTION DEMOCRATS!!!!
Dear recipients of this email:
I have previously introduced myself to this group as a former Republican who voted for Trump in 2016, who quickly turned 100% against him, and who now identifies himself as an independent.
I believe the 2026 midterm elections will ultimately be a national referendum on whether the next Congress should or should not impeach Trump, each Congressional candidate should express their position on that, and voters should cast their votes accordingly.
In Alabama, I am trying to purvey messaging about this by means of organized emailing.
If I may, I solicit you to read my link Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Strategy and tactics of organized emailing and consider participating with me in organized emailing. Please let me know if you are interested.
For your information, I plan to post this email at the foregoing link. If you prefer that your email address not be shown, please let me know and I will remove you.
Thank you greatly.
