Subject: Alabama lawyer Barry Marks has spoken up publicly against Trump
Alabama lawyer Barry Marks posted on his Facebook a strong anti-Trump statement, and, with his permission, I emailed to my two Alabama lawyer email lists what Barry Marks posted on his Facebook. The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 51.
I continue to urge Indivisible Birmingham to take up organized emailing as a way to push its messaging beyond the limited audience that Facebook and Bluesky provide to Indivisible Birmingham.
(For filing in The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 51 and The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 55.)

On Facebook, I am making comments on people's posts along the lines of this:
"I am trying to persuade people to do organized emailing in order to achieve more widespread and effective dissemination of anti-Trump messaging, such as the content of your Facebook post. https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-january-6th-lawbreaker-president_16.html"
One Facebook poster commented back to me as follows:
I replied to this Facebook poster as follows:"[W]e're seeing a purge, not only of government officials who are critical of Trump, but also people in the private sector, and now with the mass deportations that include innocent legal citizens, people are very afraid to speak out, even on Facebook. I think our only hope is for our Democratic representatives in Congress to fight for us and find a way to stop this outrage. Musk needs to go and Trump needs to be curbed. Emailing Republicans in Congress is a waste of time because they are firmly behind Trump through ignorance and fear, so that fear of their constituency or fear of not being reelected is of little or no importance. We have two Hitlers here who, with a wave of their arms and a nod of their heads, can make people disappear. I'm hearing from people through Facebook who want to know if speaking out here is safe. I have no answer."
"I have a broad range of parties I am emailing, including lawyers, chambers of commerce, TV stations, academics, and medical professionals. Do you think that emailing is a waste of time?"
While I have gotten numerous likes on Facebook comments I have about organized emailing, I have not gotten anyone else to do emailing with me.
I am keen on organized emailing because I think Facebook posting generally reaches a small group of like-minded people and emailing can be put out to people whose views may not be well formed or be different, but whose views may be open to change.
Emailing takes extra work of getting email addresses to email to.
My extensive emailing can be reviewed by people to decide whether they think it is worthwhile and worth the effort.
I will continue my urging for organized emailing.
More Facebook
Yesterday I had a post on Blue Dots Alabama | Facebook that said:
Alabama lawyer Kimberly Fasking posted on her Facebook,A person commented back saying, "Thank you for all you are doing! What can we do to help?"
"Glad to see the former AND current deans of my law school signing on to this letter taking a stand against the attempted intimidation of lawyers by the Trump administration. It is important that we refuse to back down, unlike some. [Cumberland School of Law]"
I have emailed Kimberly's post to upwards of 80 Alabama lawyers. My emails are posted on Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 68
A Facebook friend has urged my participation in the national 50501 — 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement
I expressed to her, "I continue very keen on organized emailing, which I think needs to be developed starting with a local group. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 55"
She replied, "Start posting your call to actions in local groups where members are likely to participate."
