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.

Subject: Republican Attorney General primary debate held at The Club
Dear Republican Alabama Attorney General candidates Robertson, Mitchell and Casey:
I am developing a strategy of organized emailing as set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Strategy and tactics of organized emailing.
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.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: To AL State Bar Executive Council- re organized emailing in AL and rule of law
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
Mountain Brook
