I am an independent.
I wish for Doug Jones to pitch his candidacy for Alabama governor to independents who are increasingly opposed to Trump.
Tommy Tuberville is a Trump knock off who has, as United States Senator, enabled and cheered on the wrecking of America that Trump has been doing. I wish for Doug Jones to attack Tommy Tuberville on that ground.
Emailing for DougI have been a longtime advocate of organized, targeted emailing as a campaign tool. I will importune the Doug Jones campaign to organize an emailing component ("Emailers for Doug") as part of its election efforts. We'll see.

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

Subject: Suggestions for North Alabama Democratic candidates coming on Dale Jackson's show
Dear Limestone County Democrats:
Your May 28th Facebook post that makes announcement of Dale Jackson broadcasting his radio show live on June 5th from the new Limestone County Democratic Headquarters says:
"North Alabama Democratic Candidates from local, state and federal offices are welcome to come ON AIR between 5am to 12 noon. Let your voice and your campaigns be heard to all Alabamians. Independents and moderate Republicans need to know what we stand for and what we will fight for. Fair Representation, Affordable Housing, Adequate Healthcare that is nearby and MORE."
I laud this being done by the Limestone County Democrats.
Here is my thinking:
I think 2026 election campaigns in Alabama against MAGA Republican candidates should use those candidates' love of and obeisance to all things Trump against those candidates.
For example, Doug Jones should attack Coach Tuberville about whether Coach Tuberville would use the Alabama governorship to profit himself, his family and his friends the way Trump is using the United States Presidency to profit Trump and Trump's family and friends, and whether Coach Tuberville would turn the Alabama Attorney General's office into his private law firm the way Trump has turned the United States Department of Justice into Trump's private law firm.
The Republican candidate for Alabama Attorney General should be attacked about whether he or she can recognize Trump's corruption and can recognize Trump's turning of DOJ into Trump's private law firm and about whether he or she would be able to recognize if, say, Coach Tuberville becomes Alabama Governor and practices Trump style corruption and be able to go after such corruption, and he or she will not allow the Alabama Attorney General office to become Coach Tuberville's private law firm.
The foregoing type of attack against Coach Tuberville and the Republican candidate for Alabama Attorney General that uses the candidate's love of and obeisance to all things Trump can, I think, be adapted to other state office elections besides for Alabama Governor and Alabama Attorney General.
At the federal level, in the Alabama Congressional elections, the MAGA Republican candidates should be attacked about whether the candidate's love of and obeisance to all things Trump means they will say nothing and will do nothing against Trump's corruption and Trump's power-crazed pursuit of more power and self-glorification.
I am purveying the foregoing thoughts via the social media, including via persons who are copied on this email. Perhaps such thoughts will be purveyed by means of call ins to radio shows that have candidates on the air, such as Dale Jackson is doing.
I hope the June 5th radio show is very helpful to North Alabama Democratic Candidates.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
