Subject: 5:00 News re: Portland shooting
To: kerri.sutton@hearst.com <kerri.sutton@hearst.com>
Although I am generally pleased with your news reporting, I was very disappointed in the way you presented the shooting of the married couple in Portland, Oregon by border patrol agents. While no one knows yet exactly what happened, your reporting leads viewers to believe these people were dangerous criminals. But from the New York Times “The police were alerted to the shooting on Thursday when the injured man called 911, according to Bob Day, Portland’s police chief. The immigration agents involved in the shooting were no longer on the scene when local officers arrived.”
Immigration agents failed to inform anyone that they had shot and injured two people and instead fled, leaving these injured shooting victims to an unknown fate. And if these individuals were so dangerous, why did they not pursue an arrest?
Please do better.
Cordially,

Dear organized emailers or potential organized emailers:
I thank Laurie Beth Kesterson for her "reply to all" email that is included below.
I do not know if Laurie Beth's "reply to all" email was noted by the Alabama State Bar Executive Council, which has previously ignored me, but getting attention is an object of organized emailing.
The first below email included as an addressee Sharon Tinsley, who is the President of the Alabama Broadcasters Association. This is part of an effort I have been making to get Alabama TV stations to do a better job in the 2026 elections. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Getting AL TV stations to do better in 2026 elections.
Ms. Tinsley has previously indicated that any importuning of Alabama TV stations to perform better their journalistic obligations to their viewers should be directed to the TV stations and not to the Alabama Broadcasters Association.
Part of organized emailing would be for emailers to email individual TV stations and their news anchors and reporters. I solicit you to do that and give me any suggestions you have for the same.
Inasmuch as the email posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Getting AL TV stations to do better in 2026 elections was sent to WVTM 13 news director Kerri Sutton, I am copying her on this email.
Please provide me your views about whether you think organized emailing would be helpful in getting Alabama TV stations to do better in the 2026 elections and any suggestions you have for the same.
Thanks.
Rob

Dear Alabama Attorney General GOP candidates and Alabama Broadcasters Association:
Please take a look at the below email interchange that asks for the GOP Attorney General candidates to give their views about the effect Trump is having on the Department of Justice and the rule of law.
Please particularly note my pointed question to the candidates that, if Coach Tuberville is elected governor and he instructed you as the Alabama Attorney General to go after Coach Tuberville's political enemies, whether you would obey such instruction the way Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche seem to have acted on behalf of Donald Trump to go after Trump's political enemies.
Another pointed question for the candidates would be, if Coach Tuberville is elected governor and he uses his office to enrich himself as Trump has used the Presidency to enrich himself, would they, as Alabama Attorney General, endeavor to bring to bear the rule of law in Alabama to hold Coach Tuberville liable for such enrichment of himself.
As indicated in the below email interchange, I am trying to use organized emailing in order to get the foregoing questions posed to the GOP Attorney General candidates and answered by them.
The Alabama Broadcasters Association is an addressee on this email as part of such organized emailing and to achieve the objective of getting questions answered by the candidates.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely.
Rob Shattuck

Many of the AG candidates have made clear where they stand and it is not with the people they are running to represent. The Alabama Bar should do a better job of holding it's members accountable to Constitutional law. No one has faith in our current judicial system on either side. It starts with holding people accountable which the Bar seems unwilling to do and even at times elevates those who have shown unethical behavior. Complaints need to be filed, actually be investigated, and then accounted for. Jay Mitchell and many others are not qualified to be in positions of representation. The bar should be the first organization to recognize these flaws and take action.

Dear Laurie Beth,
This email is prompted by your comment on Beth Shelburne's Facebook post about GOP Attorney General candidate Jay Mitchell, which comment of yours said, "He is an abomination."
I am trying to use the GOP Alabama Attorney General primary election to battle against the destruction I believe Trump is doing to the rule of law in the United States and in particular trying to get the GOP AG candidates to give their views about the effect Trump is having on the Department of Justice and the rule of law.
A pointed question to the candidates might be, if Coach Tuberville is elected governor and he instructed you as the Alabama Attorney General to go after Coach Tuberville's political enemies, would you obey such instruction the way the Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche seem to have acted on behalf of Donald Trump to go after Trump's political enemies.
I am using emailing to try to get answers to questions such as the foregoing.
Earlier in April I sent an email to the GOP AG candidates in connection with a debate that was held at The Club on March 19th. My email is posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 68.
You know of the difficulties in getting one's emails read and responded to, and that I am trying to get more than just me to do emailing in order to break through, including more emailing in the form of "reply to all" emails.
On this email, I am first copying the Alabama State Bar Executive Council because of my ongoing efforts to get them to speak to Alabamians about the rule of law, such as set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The condition of the Department of Justice and its FBI.
Next, I am copying persons who have indicated they are interested in sending and/or receiving emails in organized emailing that is done.
Finally, I am copying Beth Shelburne on the chance that she would take an interest in helping with organized emailing.
Please avail of this email however you see fit.
Thanks very much.
Sincerely,
Rob
