Subject: AL Sec'y of State election: From 2020 elections to 2026 elections, and afterwards
Dear Wayne Rogers and Caroleene Dobson:
You are announced Democratic and Republican candidates for Alabama Secretary of State.
Five years after the 2020 election, and facing the 2026 elections, the United States is immensely roiled by Donald Trump continuing to say the 2020 election was "rigged" and by his (Trump's) seeking to rewrite the history of January 6th, 2021, to protect himself personally and politically, including from the Democrats winning the 2026 elections.
I cannot find if current Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has a public position that he believes or does not believe that the 2020 election was rigged, as Donald Trump contends.
Secretary Allen has been going on for some time about "election integrity," and I have endeavored to challenge Secretary Allen about this as set out at Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: What should Americans do about election integrity?.
With the November 3, 2026, election day getting closer, I think political hatreds and animosities are growing in the United States, with a significant contributing factor being Trump's inflammatory contentions about the 2020 election being rigged and about the violent January 6th protesters being patriots.
I would say there is no telling what political conflagration will or will not happen in the United States prior to November 3, 2026 or afterwards, and that parties having standing and influence should try to tamp down the inflamed condition of the American electorate, particularly connected with the 2020 election and January 6th, 2021.
I think you, as candidates for Alabama Secretary of State, should tell Alabamians (1) whether you believe the 2020 election was "rigged" as Donald Trump says; (2) what you think Wes Allen, as the current Alabama Secretary of State, should say or do to try to help tamp down (or not) the inflaming that Trump is doing regarding the 2020 election and regarding January 6th, 2021; and (3) what you will do and say (or not say or do) related to the same (if you are elected Alabama Secretary of State).
I am copying on this email Secretary Allen and persons with whom I communicated or tried to communicate in 2023 as shown in Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: What should Americans do about election integrity?.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope the two of you will speak publicly as I am urging.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
Mountain Brook

Next, please see my July17th Facebook post of the national League of Women Voters press release League of Women Voters Strongly Denounces President Trump’s False Claims About Election Security in National Address | League of Women Voters and asking, "Do you think the League of Women Voters of the US has a good, non-partisan reputation that it would be worthwhile to spread in Alabama their press release?" "League of Women Voters Strongly Denounces President Trump’s False Claims About Election Security in National Address"? Numerous comments I put on the post indicate my efforts to spread the press release in Alabama.

Following my July 17th post I had the following email correspondence to and from the League of Women Voters of Alabama and the League of Women Voters of Mobile:

Dear League of Women Voters of Mobile:
The national League of Women Voters issued the press release League of Women Voters Strongly Denounces President Trump’s False Claims About Election Security in National Address | League of Women Voters.
As the below forwarded correspondence with the League of Women Voters of Alabama indicates, I am trying to spread the press release in Alabama.
On its Facebook the League of Women Voters of Alabama is urging that Senators Tuberville and Britt be called and told to vote NO on the Save Act.
On July 17th, Caroleene Dobson, Republican candidate for Alabama Secretary of State, posted on her Facebook, "The evidence is CLEAR — we need common sense election security in every state, and we need it now. SECURE OUR ELECTIONS NOW!!! Pass the SAVE Act!"
I think League of Women Voters of Alabama and League of Women Voters of Mobile should publicize to Alabama TV stations and their viewers how opposite Caroleene Dobson is from the two Alabama Leagues of Women Voters regarding the SAVE Act and that Alabama voters should consider that in their voting decisions in November.
I further think that Wayne Rogers, the Democratic candidate for Alabama Secretary of State, should be involved with the publicizing.
For more information about the spreading in Alabama of the League of Women Voters press release, please look at my July 17th Facebook post and its comments.
If the League of Women Voters of Alabama and League of Women Voters of Mobile think I can help in publicizing this matter to Alabama TV stations and their viewers, please contact me.
Thank you.

Yesterday I added to my July 17th Facebook post a comment that linked the Hands Off Our Vote Initiative that is at https://indivisible.org/events/hands-off-our-vote-2/ and that tagged Dobson for Alabama Wayne Rogers for Secretary of State saying, "You need to debate the press release of the national League of Women Voters that is posted here and also the Hands Off Our Vote Initiative."

Was United States Senator Lindsey Graham a decent person?

Yesterday I was putting forth that Ammie Akin, who is running for Congress in the Alabama 7th Congressional district (Facebook), seemed a decent person to me, together with questions I had for her to please consider answering.

These questions were:
1. Should Alabama voters, in deciding whether to vote for you for the governmental leadership position and office you are seeking, consider relevant your views about anything concerning Donald Trump? What, if anything, do you wish to say to Alabama voters about Donald Trump?
2. What is your opinion of Donald Trump's honesty (or dishonesty) and truthfulness (or untruthfulness), compared to the honesty (or dishonesty) and truthfulness (or untruthfulness) of other politicians? How you think your opinion about Trump's honesty (or dishonesty) and truthfulness (or untruthfulness) will affect the opinion of Alabama voters about your own honesty and truthfulness.
3. Do you think Donald Trump foments anger, hate and division in the country? If so, do you approve of Donald Trump doing that? If you do not approve, will you say publicly you do not approve, and, if you are elected to the office you are seeking, will you do anything to try to reduce the anger, hate and division that Donald Trump foments.
4. Do you think Donald Trump has wrongfully weaponized the Department of Justice against his political opponents and against others who disagree with Trump? Do you see any risk of the Alabama Governor, Lt. Governor or Attorney General doing similarly with district attorneys and other law enforcement in Alabama?
5. Do you think Donald Trump has wrongfully used the Presidency to profit himself, his family and his friends? What assurances can you give Alabama voters that you will not wrongfully use the governmental office you are seeking to profit yourself, your family and your friends if you are elected?
6. Do you think Donald Trump can be trusted not to use his Anti-Fraud Task Force to target political opponents and other parties who support Trump's political opponents, and to be sparing with parties who are supportive of Trump? If you think that Trump cannot be so trusted with his Anti-Fraud Task Force, what will you do to try to change that if you are elected to the office you are seeking?
7. Do you think Trump has wrongfully abused his Presidential powers in how he has punished or threatened or otherwise economically coerced law firms, educational institutions, TV networks and other parties for the purpose of diminishing, silencing, or otherwise harming those parties, in order to advance Trump's personal and political interests?
8. Do you think Trump can be trusted not to use ICE wrongfully against Trump's political opponents, wrongfully to foment fear in the populace or wrongfully to interfere in the 2026 elections?
9. Do you think Trump is wrongfully corrupting the economy in how he awards commercial contracts and does other things related to the economy that favors corporations and other parties who support Trump personally and politically and that disfavors corporations and other parties who do not support Trump personally and politically?

The sudden death of United States Senator Lindsey Graham has shifted me this morning to ask, "Was Lindsey Graham a decent person?"

ON FACEBOOK

1. A Facebook friend of mine answered my question by saying, "NO, No he was not. The definition of a false prophet." In a reply comment, I said this to the friend, "I am trying to highlight the following: How much do decent people go into politics? How do decent people who go into politics keep their decency if they win elections and serve in office? How do voters tell which politicians and elected officials are decent people and which politicians and elected officials are indecent people? Do voters care about the extent to which their politicians and elected officials are decent or indecent people?"
2. Also on Facebook, I asked, "How should Alabama Congressional candidates message about Lindsey Graham? Clyde For Congress Amanda Pusczek for Alabama Lee McInnis for Alabama Jacob Bouma-Sims Keith Pilkington Maurice Mercer Ammie Akin for Congress Andrew Sneed for Congress David Wayne Perry"

3. A Facebook friend, who is also a personal friend, commented, "Shame on you. He served this country tirelessly and hasn’t been gone 12 hours. How can you let your hate for Trump destroy your compassion and empathy." I replied to this friend, "As indicated, yesterday I was putting out that Ammie Akin for Congress seemed a decent person, together with questions for her to consider answering. I have elaborated on the matter of decency with four questions I have asked in another comment here, to wit: How much do decent people go into politics? How do decent people who go into politics keep their decency if they win elections and serve in office? How do voters tell which politicians and elected officials are decent people and which politicians and elected officials are indecent people? Do voters care about the extent to which their politicians and elected officials are decent or indecent people?" In my view, central to the decency of politicians is how much they selfishly desire power for themselves and what they will do to gain, maintain and increase such power regardless of how much damage and harm they inflict on their society and its governance. Per Samuel Johnson, the prospect of death concentrates wonderfully the mind, and Lindsey Graham's death perhaps will concentrate the minds of many politicians as to what their own legacy will be as regards what they were willing to do to gain, maintain and increase their power regardless of how much damage and harm they inflicted on their society and its governance. If United States Senator Lindsey Graham was a decent person, I don't think he would object to, and would even find laudable, what this lowly citizen is attempting on the occasion of his death."

Dear New York State Bar Association Executive Director Suchocki:
I am a retired lawyer in Alabama.
The announcement of the New York State Bar Association's sponsorship of a Rule of Law Rally today in Foley Square Park in New York City (https://nysba.org/new-york-state-bar-association-sponsors-rule-of-law-rally-june-16/) says:
"Advancing the rule of law is one of the key pillars of our mission. As lawyers we have a special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently."
I think the Alabama State Bar has fallen woefully short recently in the mission of advancing the rule of law and fallen short in its special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently.
I have attempted much communication to the Alabama State Bar about this and have been ignored.
I am communicating in Alabama about the Rule of Law Rally that is being held in New York City today in order to do what I can to advance the rule of law and to fulfill my special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently.
Thank you.

Dear University of Alabama President Mohler:
I am trying to elevate the Rule of Law in the Alabama 2026 general elections, and I am forwarding to you the below email I sent to UAH President Leo on Wednesday in furtherance of this objective of mine. For more information, see Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rule of Law in Alabama 2026 general elections.
I think triggering me to contact you regarding the Rule of Law is the report this morning that Vance says Watergate would be a '12-hour news story' today | AP News.
I expect to contact relevant professors at the University of Alabama to solicit their evaluations of what sitting Vice President Vance said about Watergate, and maybe get WVUA 23 News interested in reporting on the same.
Thank you for your indulgence here.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Dear Trussville Chamber of Commerce:
On his Facebook, Alabama 6th Congressional district candidate Maurice Mercer posted about his attending Coffee & Contacts at the Trussville Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
Candidate Mercer expressed:

"it’s important to me to hear not only from residents, but also from the business community. Small businesses create jobs, drive innovation, and help shape the future of our communities. I want to listen and understand their ideas, opportunities, and wins to ensure I know the issues affecting our district and local economy."

I am trying to elevate the Rule of Law in the Alabama 2026 general elections as indicated at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rule of Law in Alabama 2026 general elections.
I think the Rule of Law is, or should be, extremely important to the Alabama business community. Further I think Donald Trump is doing great damage to the Rule of Law in ways that are harmful to the business community, and Trump needs to be stopped.
In the Rule of Trump (as opposed to the Rule of Law), the corruption of Trump is becoming monumental in exchanges that go on between Trump and other parties, including foreign parties, in which Trump and the Trump family receive financial benefits from the other parties, and the other parties receive governmental actions from Trump that the other parties desire.
This Rule of Trump extends to other parties not opposing anything Trump does, out of fear of Trump's power to punish the other parties, including by using the Department of Justice against the other parties.
I am in the 6th Congressional district, and I desire to agitate the six Congressional candidates (Maurice Mercer, Keith Pilkington, Case Dixon, Ashtyn Kennedy, Gary Palmer and Jacob Bouma-Sims) about the Rule of Law and Trump corruption, as well as agitate local chambers of commerce and other local parties.
Accordingly, I am copying the six Congressional candidates on this email.

Dear Shoals Chamber of Commerce President Burns:
I am a busybody, retired Alabama lawyer.
I am trying to avail of Donald Trump's installing Phillip W. Williams Jr. as the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama as a basis for instigating debate in Alabama at this point in the 2026 elections about Trump corruption, the rule of law, and weaponization of the Department of Justice by Trump. See Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Phillip W. Williams Jr., new U.S. Attorney for ND of Alabama.
The Alabama business community has, or should have, an interest in the extent to which Trump is corrupting the American economy by Trump's using the Presidency to profit himself and his family, by Trump's business dealings with foreign entities and having the Federal government acquire stakes in business corporations, and by Trump's awarding Federal contracts to parties as Trump chooses.
Such corruption of the American economy by Trump goes on by Trump turning the United States Department of Justice into Trump's private law firm.
Whether Trump's corruption will or will not be stopped by the courts is playing out. Donald Trump slams courts after Kennedy Center ruling, vows to fight 'rigged' system.
The complicity of the Republicans in Congress in Trump's corruption is a huge factor, and the 2026 elections will be the ultimate opportunity for voters to be a check on Trump's corruption in our government of "checks and balances." (May such "check" be manifested by the voters in the Alabama 4th Congressional district voting against Robert Aderholt in November.)
You may wonder why I have chosen the Shoals Chamber of Commerce to whom to send this email.
I have previously done emailing to Alabama chambers of commerce to try to raise concerns about Trump. See particularly the August 8, 2025, email I sent to Alabama chambers of commerce that is posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: How fearful of Trump is the Alabama business community?.
I have gotten no response to this previous emailing to Alabama chambers of commerce, and such has contributed to my picking the Shoals Chamber of Commerce for this email. (Lucky you, hunh?!)
Thank you for any attention you give to this email.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

When a Star Witness totally recants, and in every way reveals that he was pressured and coerced to give testimony, and when the Prosecutor admits that this Witness was the single reason that the case was brought, there was no other, how can that Case not be immediately dismissed? That is exactly what happened in the Democrat New York Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney’s Hoaxes against me. Michael Cohen has come out and unequivocally stated that the Radical Left Prosecutors, Tish James and Alvin Bragg, pressured and coerced him to testify against your favorite President, ME, when they made him the key player in their Political Witch Hunts. Now that his testimony is wiped away, and the unAmerican, Political Charade “Cases” are even further discredited, they should be put out of their misery, and dismissed, once and for all. Our Constitution, and the Rule of Law, demand immediate and swift dismissal, as well as for the Perpetrators of the Radical Left Lawfare and Weaponization to be held criminally responsible for their terrible misdeeds. We have to restore Confidence and Honor in our Justice System. I am an innocent man who has been horribly treated. Hopefully the Courts will do what everyone knows should be done. Thank you!

Suggestions for Alabama Congressional candidates

DRAFT [edited 6/14]

Below are my suggestions for Alabama Congressional candidates for campaigning against Trump and the MAGA Republican party.

1. Trump

Trump is an 80 year-old power-crazed egomaniac whose overriding motivation is for more power, self-glorification and being the center of the universe, with little regard for what is good or bad for the American people.

Trump has a vise grip on the MAGA Republican party that enables Trump to get what he wants, whether good or bad for the American people.

The bad for the American people coming from Trump greatly comes from his dishonesty that is not subject to any restraint and disable the American people from grappling with and working collectively to try to solve big problems the country faces, such as immigration and climate change.

To stop the bad coming from Trump, Trump's dishonesty must be battled on all fronts and Trump and MAGA need to be defeated in the 2026 elections.

I challenge my opponent to a debate about this.

2. Immigration

Secure borders are needed and Trump has secured the borders.

As to illegal immigrants in the United States, some Americans want all illegal immigrants (say the number is as high as 20,000,000 illegal immigrants) rounded up and deported, no matter the cost and no matter inhumanity that is inflicted on the illegal immigrants and others.

Other Americans think a better way can be found to handle the matter of illegal immigrants in the United States at this time. I am in favor of finding a better way than rounding up and deporting all illegal immigrants, be it 20,000,000 or some other number.

I challenge my opponent to discuss this with me in front of the voters.

[Edit 5/27] Jacob Bouma-Sims, Democratic candidate in the 6th Congressional district reacted on the immigration issue, by saying the following:

So, let’s talk about the immigration part. I’m going to be running as an openly pro- DREAM Act anti-ICE candidate. While I agree that illegal immigration is a problem, just like other civil infractions and nonviolent crimes, I am not going to affirm any MAGA narratives about the level of the problem or Trump’s handling of it when I think they’re dubious. I would rather point out what the actual mainstream Democratic position has been on this and that the wall (should it come up), is not a solution to the vast majority of illegal immigration.
Immigrants make district 6 strong. Immigration restrictions and enforcement actions should be based on individual merit and economic needs, not racial prejudice or cultural anxiety. Jacob supports passing the DREAM Act, reforming temporary worker visas, implementing protections for stateless people, abolishing ICE and breaking up the DHS. He stands against MAGA extremist attacks on birthright citizenship and family immigration sponsorship.

3. The economy and inflation

The outbreak of COVID in 2020 was horrendous. There was massive fear and uncertainty, and government and society opted for a significant economic shutdown for addressing the situation. Ramifications from this included massive governmental spending relief to ward off an economic collapse and also lasting disruptions of supply chains.

On the inflation front, in 2020 the inflation was at about 1.2%, largely due to the economic impacts of the COVID. In 2021 and 2022 inflation went to the 7.0% level, driven by supply chain disruptions and increased demand as the economy began to recover from the pandemic, and thereafter inflation declined to the 3% range as the economy became more stable.

Now the Iran war is causing great uncertainty about increasing prices and risks for the economy.

There is a hundred years or more of history of the government managing or trying to manage up and downs of the economy, and one can be dubious about quick governmental fixes of economic problems. Various things should be explored.

I challenge my opponent to discuss this with me in front of the voters.

4. Elections

Before 2016 election results in the United States were generally accepted by candidates and voters.

In the 10 years since 2016, Trump has wrongfully caused great doubt to arise about elections and election results, and MAGA Republicans have enabled Trump in this regard.

This doubt that Trump has wrongfully caused is a potent reason that Trump and MAGA need to be decisively defeated in the 2026 elections.

I challenge my opponent to a debate about this in front of the voters.

5. Climate change

I contend that Trump's dishonesty disables the American people from working collectively to ameliorate the problem of climate change that the country faces.

I challenge my opponent to discuss this in front of the voters.

6. Guns [see Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Targeted emailing re stricter gun laws]

7. Health care [See Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Alabama expertise re health care]

8. Education [see Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: What are your concerns about Mtn. Brook AL schools?]

Hello,
I am sure you know the house brings articles of impeachment. The Senate will hear the impeachment cases as Judges. I have sat as a judge in our state and municipal courts. In that role, I understood you had to be fair to both sides and make decisions based on the evidence. In the event a trial is had in the senate, I would listen to the evidence and make an informed decision.
That is a promise I can keep.

Subject: Fw: Can Alabama State Bar help Alabamians decide whether China's Xi is a dictator?
Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Director Lovell:
The Alabama State Bar Executive Council (of which you are a member and serve as Secretary) has made no reply to numerous emails I have sent importuning the Executive Council to speak to Alabamians about the destruction that Trump is doing to the rule of law in the United States.
I consider the foregoing a dereliction on the part of the Alabama State Bar Executive Council.
I am trying to publicize the same in various ways.
The below emails are indicative of the publicizing I am trying to do.
There has been and will be more such emails and other publicizing efforts.
I will be forthright and say that my efforts here are to contribute to trying to make November 2026 a wave election that defeats Trump and MAGA.
Thank you very much for your attention to this email.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Putin, Trump, and Xi are all ignorant and incompetent, each is destroying their respective government and each has the power to take the world down with him, all are psychopaths. As Alfred Pennywieght says, “some people want to set the world on fire just to watch it burn.”

Subject: Re: Can Alabama State Bar help Alabamians decide whether China's Xi is a dictator?
I honestly do not know what the Alabama State Bar could do in this particular situation. China has a one party system and Xi Jinping is the President of China and has concentrated power extensively with eliminated term limits that make him the dominant leader. This is exactly what Trump wants to happen here in America. His view has been on the New World Order since he came down his golden escalator. China is an authoritarian one party state and to me, that is a dictatorship. They do not have elections or checks and balances that are considered to be a democracy, but....do we? Donald Trump has made no secret about his admiration for dictators. His dream is to rule over this country as a king with no accountability to the people. He is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. I fail to understand how intelligent people can be so ignorant.

Dear Professor Hartog:
Are you (or is anyone else in the Samford history department) in a position to comment publicly about the significance of Justice Department scrubs website of news releases about Jan. 6 defendants | AP News?
This is part of the controversy about whether Trump is trying to rewrite the history of January 6th and how that affects or can affect our democracy, the rule of law, and our governance, politics and elections.
My goal here is to complain to Senators Tuberville and Britt and Congressman Palmer about Trump seeking to rewrite the history of January 6th, and a public comment from someone such as yourself would be very helpful to me.
Thanks for anything you can do here.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
