Subject: Robert Reich - Everyone with authority must speak out now
Dear Auburn University President Roberts:
I am sending this email as a first email to try to carry out in Alabama the plea of Robert Reich (Professor, former Secretary of Labor, Co-founder Inequality Media, 4.8M followers on Facebook) that is posted at Robert Reich - Everyone with authority must speak out now against... | Facebook.
Robert Reich's plea is this:
"Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every elected official, university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice."
I have previously sent you emails (see Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Alabama debates what Eric Trump says about his father), and I am picking you as a first person of authority in Alabama to ask that you please speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
