Subject: Alabama State Bar default and the American Bar Association Tax Force for American Democracy
Dear Ms. Buettner and Mr. Ammons,
The Alabama State Bar is ostensibly defaulting on undertaking supportive activities in Alabama relative to the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy and its year long mission that is set out in the statement at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/ (see the below email).
Given this default by the Alabama State Bar, I wish to call on the Birmingham Bar Association and the Birmingham Business Alliance to host a public conversation in Birmingham "with a broad spectrum of [area residents] to hear their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law" (quoted words from the Task Force mission statement).
I hope the Birmingham Bar Association and the Birmingham Business Alliance will undertake something here.
I have previously contacted UAB and Samford University on this idea; they may be in a position to help out on this; and I am copying my contacts at UAB and Samford on this email.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
Mountain Brook

Subject: AL Sec. of State Allen and ABA Task Force for American Democracy
Dear Terri,
On Saturday Secretary of State Wes Allen tweeted about an appearance he apparently made before the Alabama Federation of Republican Women. His tweet at https://twitter.com/alasecofstate/status/1733517107521012171 said:
The Alabama Federation of Republican Women values honest & accountable government. I was proud to stand before them & explain how Alabama has the cleanest and most accurate voter rolls we’ve ever had with the development of the Alabama Voter Integrity Database (AVID).
The mission statement of the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy says it "will, on a nonpartisan basis, solicit the views of a wide array of state election officials, present and former elected officials, academics, think tanks, public interest and other stakeholder organizations, and everyday voters."
In August, I sent the below email to Secretary Allen related to the ABA Task Force. Secretary Allen has not replied to me.
I still don't know what, if anything, the Alabama State Bar is doing in Alabama relative to the ABA Task Force and its year long mission set out https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/.
In particular, I don't know whether the Alabama State Bar, in accordance with the the Task Force mission, has solicited or will solicit the views of Sec. Allen.
Pending hearing from the Alabama State Bar about what it is doing relative to the the ABA Task Force, I will act on the basis that the ASB is doing nothing, and I will, for example, solicit local bar associations and law school deans to do something (starting with copying them on this email).
Thank you, Terri.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Dear Suzanne and Sheron,

I hope the Montgomery Bar Association and the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce will undertake something here.
I have previously contacted Auburn on this idea; they may be in a position to help out; and I am copying my contact at Auburn on this email.
Further I think the 2nd Congressional district candidates could appropriately participate in the conversation and I am copying three of them on this email.
Thank you for your consideration.
