Subject: Keeping the bullets from flying: Holding Trump legally and politically accountable
Dear Alabama Republican Party and Alabama Democratic Party:
Yesterday Trump posted on his Truth Social the following:
The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust. Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse! Allowing millions of people, from places unknown, to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin. OUR BORDERS MUST BE CLOSED, AND THE TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS, DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY MUST LOVE OUR NATION, AND COME IN LEGALLY AND THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MERIT. THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS, THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH. WE CANNOT LET THEM LAUGH ANY LONGER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113148118321131590
I believe that Trump criminally endeavored to prevent the lawfully elected President, Joe Biden, from taking office on January 20, 2021, for which criminal endeavor Trump should be held legally and politically accountable.

Please provide to Alabama TV stations that are copied on this email, statements from your political parties concerning how your political parties have (or have not) dedicated themselves to the rule of law to try to keep the bullets from flying, as Trump refers to.
I will ask the Alabama legal profession the same question in due course. See Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Interim Alabama report to ABA Task Force for American Democracy (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).

Dear Alabama lawyers,
Yesterday I sent the below email to the Alabama Republican and Democratic parties, asking them to provide to Alabama TV stations statements from their political parties concerning how their political parties have (or have not) dedicated themselves to the rule of law to try to keep the bullets from flying, as Trump refers to in his Truth Social post on Monday that is quoted in the below email.
More than a year has gone by since the American Bar Association called on lawyers to
"(i) bolster voter confidence in elections by safeguarding the integrity and non-partisan administration of elections, and by providing support for election workers and officials; (ii) educate Americans on democracy and the rule of law and why they are foundational to every aspect of American lives; and (iii) suggest ideas to the American people for improving and strengthening our democracy and our elections." https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_interest/election_law/american-democracy//our-work/
I am copying the Alabama TV stations on this email that I copied on the below email, in the hopes that representatives of the Alabama legal profession will tell the TV stations what Alabama lawyers have done and are doing to put forth the rule of law to keep the bullets from flying.
Thanks.
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Lara Trump ("Trump good; Harris evil') and Alabamians' voting decisions
Dear Alabama Republican Party and Alabama Democratic Party:
Friday night at ALGOP's summer dinner, Republican National Committee co-chair and Trump daughter-in law Lara Trump said:
"I really do believe that this is not a time that is even about Republican versus Democrat or left versus right. Right now, it is good versus evil in this country. We've all seen it. We all feel it. And things are at a different level right now, a spiritual level. And I always say Donald Trump was made for such a time as this." Lara Trump to ALGOP: Election not about Republican versus Democrat or left versus right — 'It is good versus evil in this country' (1819news.com)
This casting of the election as "Trump good' and "Harris evil" would seem headed to be core Trump campaign messaging during the remainder of his campaign.
If that is the case, Alabamians should be aware of the same.
Many Alabamians may already think and believe "Trump good; Harris evil."
If "Trump good; Harris evil" is central Trump campaign messaging during the remainder of Trump's campaign, that will solidify and augment the believing of Alabamians about "Trump good; Harris evil."
Some Alabamians, whether they are for Trump or Harris, may think Trump's "Trump good; Harris evil" campaign messaging is bad for the country, and such Alabamians may publicly say so.
I, for one, say Trump's "Trump good; Harris evil" campaign messaging is bad for the country.
The purpose of this email is to get the Alabama Republican Party on the record either that they agree with Trump's "Trump good; Harris evil" campaign messaging, or that they disavow such "Trump good; Harris evil" campaign messaging.
Alabama TV stations are copied on this email for whatever investigation and reporting to their viewers the TV stations may choose to do about Trump's "Trump good; Harris evil" campaign messaging.

TikTok, Instagram, etc.

I am learning of the potential of TikTok and Instagram for communicating things this blog seeks to communicate related to Harris-Walz. The below is a good example. May this get developed.

Also another Jesus and John Wayne book giveaway coming soon.
