Subject: Nevada voters who switched parties in 2020 election share thoughts on this year’s race
Dear Alabama TV stations:
I have not heard anything from you in response to my below September 25th email regarding Judy Woodruff's America at a Crossroads project exploring political polarization around the country, which email solicited Alabama TV stations to do and televise focus group conversations with Alabamians.
Last night on PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff added to her project a conversation with Nevada voters who had switched from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020. Nevada voters who switched parties in 2020 election share thoughts on this year’s race | PBS News.
I have no idea how Alabama TV stations rate the journalistic and civic values of educating voters and reducing the polarization that would be served by their viewers seeing other Alabamians talking in televised focus group conversations.
I think many Alabamians suffer from being low information voters and Alabama parties that could improve that situation are not doing what they could do.
For Alabamians to be deprived of being able to see televised focus group conversations involving Alabamians talking to one another worsens the low information situation, I think, and I will add this email to https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2024/10/you-stupid-stupid-people.html, as well as to https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2024/09/organizing-focus-groups.html

Dear Friends,
Last night on PBS, more than 50 Wisconsin voters joined PBS News special correspondent Judy Woodruff for a town hall event in Milwaukee, as part of her America at a Crossroads reporting project, which has been exploring political polarization across the country. You can view last night's event at Crossroads: A Conversation with America – A PBS News Special | PBS News.
Judy Woodruff has been an inspiration to me during the past two years and inspires me to invite you to participate in a Focus Group (or Groups) at your friend Rob's house. Scheduling right now is indefinite, and I am only wanting at this time indications of interest in participating.
Please respond if you are interested. Please be assured my feelings will not be hurt if you are not interested and do not respond.
Your friend,
Rob

Subject: Capitol Journal's coverage of BCA Governmental Affairs Conference
Dear BCA Directors of Governmental Affairs Caroline Franklin and William Newman:
Since sending you my August 14th email (appended below) that was prompted by the Yellowhammer News article Alabama's federal lawmakers connect infrastructure as key to economic growth at BCA conference - Yellowhammer News, I have watched Todd Stacy's Capitol Journal show about the BCA conference (posted at Capitol Journal - August 16, 2024 (youtube.com)).
I think Todd's Capitol Journal show can help my objective of Alabamians being better informed about the economy and inflation so they can vote more intelligently in the 2024 election.
Anchors and reporters at Alabama TV stations should watch Todd's show to learn what Alabama's business and political leaders talked about at the conference for making Alabama and the Alabama economy better for Alabamians, the prime subjects being Alabama work force development (including education and childcare) and Alabama infrastructure (including state and local funding and public/private partnerships).
The Alabama TV anchors and reporters will learn little or nothing was said about what the United States Presidential candidates are saying about the economy or about what the Presidential candidates say they will do or try to do regarding the economy, and little or nothing was said about how the same bears on (or not) and affects (or not) what Alabama's business and political leaders talked about at the conference for making Alabama and the Alabama economy better for Alabamians.
I wish to continue to call on the Business Council of Alabama, Alabama TV stations and Alabama economics professors to think up how they can, in the next 80 days, contribute to Alabamians being better informed about the economy and inflation, so they can vote more intelligently in the 2024 election.
Thank you (and I very much hope something will be undertaken).
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Alabama’s federal lawmakers connect infrastructure as key to economic growth at BCA conference
Dear BCA Directors of Governmental Affairs Caroline Franklin and William Newman:
The annual Governmental Affairs Conference of the Business Council of Alabama focused on infrastructure as a "central element to Alabama’s success in the 21st Century." Alabama's federal lawmakers connect infrastructure as key to economic growth at BCA conference - Yellowhammer News
I think Alabamians should be better informed about infrastructure as a "central element to Alabama’s success in the 21st Century", I particularly think Alabamians should be better informed about the sources of funding (Federal and local) for Alabama infrastructure and about the relationship between all infrastructure funding nationally (of which Alabama funding is a part) and the inflation that is a top issue in the 2024 election, so that Alabamians can more intelligently cast their votes in the 2024 election.
In June I wrote the below email to Alabama economics professors soliciting their involvement and the involvement of Alabama TV stations to better inform Alabamians about the economy and inflation.
This email is to solicit the involvement of the BCA in the foregoing objective.
Please let me know if the BCA is willing to participate so that Alabama voters may more intelligently cast their votes in the 2024 election
Thank you.

Dear UAB Collat School of Business Dean Shook; UA Culverhouse College of Business Dean Palan; Auburn University Economics Department Chair Ziebarth; Samford University Department of Economics, Finance, and Quantitative Analysis, Chair Jones; and University of Montevallo Stephens College of Business Interim Chair Garrity:
This email is in follow up to my April 25th email to you, which email bears the subject line "Alabama economics professors and civic responsibility," and which email can be found at Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Getting AL TV stations to do better in 2024 elections (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).
Here is my proposal development.
Take the inflation issue. I propose the drafting of a one page statement for TV stations to present to their viewers that sets out the causes of the inflation shown on Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2024; positive and negative effects on the economy and otherwise accompanying the inflation; governmental action at this time that may reduce the inflation; and positive and negative effects on the economy and otherwise that may result from the governmental action.
The purpose of the statement would be to help Alabama voters better understand the inflation issue. Before being used, the statement would be circulated to Alabama's members of Congress for their views about how well the statement serves its purpose.
After the statement is finalized, participating Alabama TV stations would read the statement on one or more news shows and post the statement on their websites.
The foregoing idea is subject to any suggestions for any ways for the TV stations to better help their viewers understand the inflation issue.
Please let me know if there is an economics professor in your department who is willing to participate in this proposal.
I am copying TV stations on this email and will contact them to find out whether there are TV stations that are willing to participate.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

I very much desire for Alabama voters to be better informed about the economy and inflation in order that they may vote more intelligently in the 2024 election.
I call to your attention the below email (and included emails) that I have circulated to the Business Council of Alabama, Alabama TV stations, and other economics professors in Alabama, done as part of my seeking for Alabama voters to be better informed about the economy and inflation.
To the extent you are similarly moved in favor of Alabama voters being better informed about the economy and inflation in order that they may vote more intelligently in the 2024 election, I hope you will add your efforts in this regard.
Thank you.

Subject: 2024 West Alabama Chamber in Session: State of the Economy
Dear Kyle South and West Alabama Chamber State of the Economy speakers:
Last month, at the Business Council of Alabama's Governmental Affairs Conference, Alabama's business and political leaders talked about Alabama work force development (including education and childcare) and Alabama infrastructure (including state and local funding and public/private partnerships) for making the Alabama economy better for Alabamians.
At the conference virtually nothing was said about what the United States Presidential candidates are saying about the economy, what the candidates say they will do regarding the economy, or how the same affects what Alabama's business and political leaders talked about for making the Alabama economy better for Alabamians.
In the below 8/20/24 email, I called on the Business Council of Alabama, Alabama TV stations and Alabama economics professors to think up how they can contribute to Alabamians being better informed about the economy and inflation, so they can vote more intelligently in the 2024 election.
To help something come of the foregoing, I am availing of the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama's State of the Economy meeting this past Monday to send this email to you (and others) to widen my importuning for Alabamians to be better informed about the economy and inflation, so they can vote more intelligently in the 2024 election.
I hope the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama (and others) can find a way to contribute to this.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
Mountain Brook

Subject: Jonathan Turley - "American voter has a certain innate resistance to being played as a chump"
Dear George Washington University Economics Department tenured professors:
This email is prompted by George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley's column in the New York Post, entitled "Panic Politics: The Press and Pundits Face Devastating Polls on the Threat to Democracy," in which column Professor Turley says the "American voter has a certain innate resistance to being played as a chump." Panic Politics: The Press and Pundits Face Devastating Polls on the Threat to Democracy – JONATHAN TURLEY. (Professor Turley's views were amplified this week by an appearance on Fox and Friends. .Democrats’ ‘panic politics’ over democracy borders on ‘constitutional defamation,’ legal expert warns | Fox News Video.)
Professor Turley's "chump" statement is in reference to what he describes as "the growing hysteria among press and pundits proclaiming the imminent end of democracy if Kamala Harris is not elected."
I contend that Trump has been making Americans stupid about inflation and the economy and that Trump has been playing American voters as chumps regarding the same.
I am in Alabama. I have been endeavoring to get Alabama economics professors and other Alabamians who know better to educate Alabamians about how Trump has made them stupid about the economy and inflation. My efforts are set out at Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: It's the economy and inflation, stupid.
I have a zero messaging platform compared to Professor Turley, and I am relegated to things like this email to do messaging. I hope I have your indulgence.
Thank you.

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.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113148118321131590

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.

Subject: UA College Democrats, Trump's Saturday visit, January 6th, and the rule of law
Dear University of Alabama College Democrats:
Five days ago, your Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UACollegeDems said, regarding Trump's coming for Saturday's football game, "Like we did in the 2020 election, we must show to everyone that Trump is NOT WELCOME on our campus."
Your September 24th Facebook post said that, at your weekly meeting to be held that day, you would announce your response to Trump’s planned visit for the Georgia game.
I don't know what you have come up with for your response to Trump's coming on Saturday, but I offer the following for your consideration:
I have been trying to message in Alabama that Trump needs to be held legally and politically accountable for January 6th, and I have thought Trump's coming Saturday visit was opportune for my messaging objective. Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Trump should be held accountable legally and politically (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com)
Last December, in connection with the Republican Presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, I importuned a number of University of Alabama persons to undertake and promote the holding of conversations in line with the mission of a newly created American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy, which mission included hosting "public conversations with a broad spectrum of Americans to hear their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law." Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Presidential debate in Tuscaloosa & ABA Democracy Task Force conversation event (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).
At this time, I am very keen for Alabamians to have many conversations during the next 40 days about January 6th and "preserving our democracy rule of law."
If the University of Alabama College Democrats are similarly keen for Alabamians to have such conversations, I hope you can do something to promote the same in connection with Trump's Saturday visit.
Keep in mind how Trump Republican toadies such as Tommy Tuberville, Katie Britt, Gary Palmer, Steve Marshall, John Wahl and Wes Allen are focused on how they can best prostrate themselves before their orange Sun King on Saturday, and such Trump Republican toadies positively do not want conversations about January 6th and the rule of law.
For what it's worth, I am copying on this email University of Alabama persons whom I emailed in December.
Power to the people and the rule of law!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: University of Alabama institutional neutrality and Trump's campaign use of Bryant-Denny Stadium
Dear The University of Alabama System Interim Chancellor Trant:
I think it is a fair assessment that Donald Trump will be using Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday for his campaign purposes.
The article University of Alabama System Board adopts neutrality resolution on ‘political and social issues’ (1819news.com) says:
The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees adopted a resolution last week expressing its commitment to institutional neutrality and freedom of speech and expression.
A university spokesperson said that the UA System will remain neutral on political and social issues unless the issue directly affects core operations.
According to the UA System, it is "dedicated to safeguarding free speech, academic freedom and the educational experience of its students."
According to a statement from the UA system, the Board's formalization of the "UA System's longstanding practice of maintaining institutional neutrality will ensure its three universities continue to serve as welcoming environments to all people and neutral forums for scholarly debate and free and open inquiry. "
Given the national television audience for the football game at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and other factors, I think the University of Alabama needs to take steps to demonstrate its institutional neutrality as regards Trump's use of Bryant-Denny Stadium in his Presidential election campaign.
I think the University should put out a press release to the effect that the University does not endorse either candidate in the Presidential election, and the University's accommodation of Trump's attendance at the football game is not an endorsement of Trump by the University.
At the game, the foregoing press release should be read over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address system.
Such press release should be given to the broadcaster of the football game and to their game announcers, and the broadcaster's game announcers should be requested to read the press release as part of their broadcasting of the game.
Additionally, I think the game broadcaster should be requested not to show Trump in its game coverage. Whether or not the broadcaster complies with the foregoing request, I think the stadium jumbotron should cut away if and whenever the broadcaster shows Trump in their broadcasting.
I am not knowledgeable about what constitutes in-kind contributions to a political candidate, but you may want to consider whether anything in the University's accommodation to Trump's use of Bryant-Denny Stadium constitutes an in-kind contribution to candidate Trump.
While I am an outsider to the University of Alabama, please know that I have been seeking to avail of Trump's coming to Tuscaloosa in order to instigate campus conversations about Trump, January 6th and the rule of law. My efforts in this regard are indicated at Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Trump should be held accountable legally and politically (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com)
I am copying on this email University of Alabama persons whom I have emailed in my foregoing efforts, and others.
Thank you for your attention to this email, Interim Chancellor Trant.

Good morning Rob:
Thank you for contacting The University of Alabama. Your e-mail was forwarded to me and I wanted to make sure that you received a response. We have been notified that President Trump plans to attend the Alabama-Georgia football game after receiving an invitation from a private citizen. UAPD will work closely with the Secret Service and other law enforcement partners to coordinate security, which remains our top priority. Additional security measures will be enacted for game day, so fans are encouraged to arrive early to expedite the security screening process.
The University has a historic commitment to institutional neutrality, and our focus will continue to be on ensuring a safe and positive gameday experience for the student-athletes, fans of both teams, and all campus visitors.
Thank you and Roll Tide!

Further for more than a year I have been trying to get Alabama lawyers to show support for the mission of the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy regarding the rule law, elections and democracy. Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Interim Alabama report to ABA Task Force for American Democracy (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).
Last December, in connection with the Republican Presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, I importuned a number of University of Alabama persons to undertake and promote the holding of conversations in line with the mission of a newly created American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy, which mission included hosting "public conversations with a broad spectrum of Americans to hear their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law."

Subject: Is Elon Musk drunk on power? What will he do if he becomes economic czar?
I would say Elon Musk is on his way to becoming drunk on power, based on observing his performance at Trump's rally in Butler PA this past Saturday. Elon Musk at Trump rally in Butler, PA: FULL SPEECH (youtube.com)

How does the Alabama business community feel about Elon Musk becoming Trump's national economic czar? Will he and Trump scheme for the government to monetarily benefit themselves and their businesses, reward politicians and businesses who show sufficient loyalty, and punish those who aren't subservient?
