Suggestions for Alabama Congressional candidates

DRAFT

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 America and 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 America and the American people.

Much bad for America and the American people has come from Trump.

To stop the bad coming from Trump, Trump and MAGA needs 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. 

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.

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.

Strategy and tactics of organized emailing

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

April 6th Facebook post of Guy Rawlings
Guy Rawlings WVTM 13 News 

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for a likely dismissal of Steve Bannon’s contempt of Congress conviction tied to the January 6 Capitol attack investigation, sending the case back to a trial judge to consider the Justice Department’s request, supported by the Donald Trump administration, to drop it “in the interests of justice.”
Bannon had been convicted in 2022 for defying a subpoena from the House January 6 Committee and served a four-month prison sentence, so any dismissal would largely be symbolic but would erase the conviction. The move reflects a broader shift by the Justice Department under Trump to unwind prosecutions tied to the Capitol riot probe, which Bannon and allies have long argued was politically driven and entangled in executive privilege disputes.
The precedent it sets is more consequential than the immediate outcome: by allowing the executive branch to abandon enforcement of a congressional subpoena after a conviction, the decision could weaken Congress’s ability to compel testimony in future investigations. It signals that compliance disputes, especially those involving claims of executive privilege, may ultimately hinge less on the courts and more on which administration is in power, potentially making congressional subpoenas harder to enforce and more vulnerable to political reversal.

Dear Republican Alabama Attorney General candidates Robertson, Mitchell and Casey:

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.

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.

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.

I think Donald Trump should be injected into the University of Montevallo's Presidential Search, in the form of the presidential candidates expressing their views about whether and to what extent they believe Donald Trump has damaged and will continue to damage educational institutions, scientific research, freedom of speech, public health, the rule of law, and other values that the University of Montevallo espouses, and what institutions such as the University of Montevallo, and its President, should do to defend against Donald Trump and such damage as the candidates believe he has done and will continue to do.

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.

I will proudly and forever be a fighter in the memory of my Dad who served our country in WWII and my late husband who gave 32 years of his life to this country as a United States Marine. It’s insulting that a draft dodging coward is now the Commander in Chief of our military. We owe it to our children and grandchildren and generations to come to stand up against this regime of treason that is destroying our democracy. Let’s be honest, forthcoming, and diligent in continuing our efforts to make sure that never again will a president like Donald Trump ever walk into our White House again.

Subject: The Alabama Attorney General election, the Alabama State Bar, and Alabama TV stations
Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Council and Alabama TV stations:
How despairing of our democracy are you made by the TV commercials of the candidates in this 2026 election cycle?
I was particularly triggered in the Alabama Attorney General election by Alabama AG candidates continue to fight over ‘woke lawyer lobbyist for a Muslim country’ ad - al.com.
How pathetic are we? Who or what can make a difference for the better in our democracy?
I try to do my bit, such as by importuning the Alabama State Bar to speak to Alabamians about what Trump is doing to the rule of law (Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The condition of the Department of Justice and its FBI), and importuning Alabama TV stations to editorialize about what the truth is about January 6th (Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Who will tell the Alabama people?).
You are in a better position to do better for our democracy.
But what will budge you?
My hope is that those copied on this email will help budge you.
Thank you.

I believe Donald Trump is a power-crazed, ego maniac who acts only to feed his narcissism and lust for power.
That is what I believe the national March 28th No Kings day protest is ultimately about, and why I want the protest to be as effective as possible.
And that is why I am sending you this email to you for you to have the same beliefs as I and to want and act for the same thing.

Thanks for your receptivity to my emailing to purvey that Donald Trump is a power-crazed, ego maniac who acts only to feed his narcissism and lust for power, and that such is what the national March 28th No Kings day protest is ultimately about.
I am emailing however I can to do that.
I know you have moved from Mobile to Michigan. Still, please bring to bear in Michigan or in Alabama whatever your communications studies at UAB guide you to do for publicizing and increasing the effectiveness of No Kings III next Saturday.

Thank you very much, Bill, for your reply that said "I think we all need to do what we can," in response to my email to you yesterday that is quoted below.
In the name of all of us doing what we can, I copy on this email those whom I copied on my email to you yesterday.
To do what we can, people, I believe, should venture outside the comfort zone of their Facebook silos and engage in a more public way with others who are not likeminded, and in particular by means of sending emails that are likely outside the comfort zone they feel in doing their Facebook posting and commenting.
The extent to which the emailing I am urging people to do gets taken up by them remains to be seen.

Subject: Emailing for Doug
Happy No Kings 3, Anita!
This being the day people are in the streets for No Kings 3, I harken back to last year's June 14th No Kings and my blog entry Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: What to do after yesterday, which pleads for organized emailing after the day of the protest in order to keep up and build on what the protest sought to achieve.
The same applies for today's No Kings 3 and for organized emailing after today.
As I have indicated, many people on Facebook have liked the idea of organized emailing, but none have said they are willing to send emails and no emailing has been done.
In my extensive importuning of people outside of Facebook, I have been met with a lot of silence and have not been able to get even discussion of the idea.
I will continue my efforts for organized emailing.
As for Doug Jones, I would suggest, and I would like, for someone besides myself to start and be the administrator of a Facebook group (maybe called "Alabamians emailing for Doug" analogous to my own Alabamians emailing against Trump | Facebook) and go from there. If someone else is willing to undertake that, I will be pleased to join in and try to help.
Sincerely,
Rob
