Subject: Alabama Chambers of Commerce and the 2022 elections
To Alabama Chambers of Commerce:
I think Alabama chambers of commerce should not treat the 2022 elections as business as usual.
My thoughts about this are set out in my blog and in my Twitter account.
If your chamber of commerce is interested in what I have to say, I suggest you start with the following three links:

Subject: What are you most concerned about in connection with 2022 elections?
In the final days before May 24th, I wish to learn from institutions in Alabama what they are most concerned about in connection with the 2022 elections.
I further wish for institutions in Alabama to be aware of one another and of what is most concerning to the other institutions.
The "institutions" I identify include the Alabama legal community (particularly represented by the Alabama State Bar); Alabama health care providers (particularly in the public health domain); the Alabama business community (in the form of chambers of commerce); the institution of local journalism (in the form of Alabama TV stations); the institutions of Alabama universities; and institutional parties with roles in K-12 education (teachers, boards of education, etc.).
I believe that institutions expressing publicly their concerns is a way to gain public respect, and that most Alabamians want their institutions to have their respect.
My greatest concern is that the United States is on the verge of being being unable to hold elections, count ballots and have election results that are accepted by both sides, and the consequence of that is that governance in the United States becomes impaired to the great detriment of the country. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-dang-truth.html.
The way things are going is that "might makes right" may displace the rule of law. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/05/january-6th-might-makes-right.html.
I have tried to urge that Alabama chambers of commerce not treat the 2022 elections as "business as usual." https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/05/emails-to-al-chambers-of-commerce-re.html. I hope I am making headway.
Thank you for your attention to this email.
Sincerely,
