I urge you to ask the Montgomery mayoral and city council candidates at the August 10th forum (https://www.wsfa.com/2023/08/03/wsfa-12-news-host-montgomery-candidates-forum-aug-10/) what the candidates will do to try to reduce gun violence in Montgomery if they win their election.
Further consider asking the candidates what they think about the Montgomery City Council passing a declaratory resolution along the lines of the "Declaration of public officials for gun violence prevention" set out at https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/09/declaration-of-public-officials-for-gun.html.
FYI, I sent the below July 8th email to Montgomery City Councillors Grimes, Lyons, Johnson, Graham, Calhoun, Mitchell, McInnis, Pruitt, and Jinright, asking them to consider passing such a resolution.
I am not a Montgomery voter and I will endeavor to get Montgomery voters to express an interest in the candidates being asked what they will do to try to reduce gun violence in Montgomery if they win their election.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Dear Montgomery City Councillors Grimes, Lyons, Johnson, Graham, Calhoun, Mitchell, McInnis, Pruitt, and Jinright:
I am asking city councils in Alabama o lead against the gun violence culture in Alabama by passing declaratory resolutions along the lines of the "Declaration of public officials for gun violence prevention" set out at https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/09/declaration-of-public-officials-for-gun.html.
For more information, please read httpshttps://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/05/working-to-grow-alabama-public-opinion.html.
Please consider for the Montgomery city council to pass such a resolution, and, please invite Mr. Rich Anderson (whose Twitter profile (https://twitter.com/andersonforAL) says "the 2nd Am. protects the rest") to appear before the city council and say why, or why not, he thinks the council should pass such a resolution.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Montgomery Aug.10 candidate forum and gun violence reduction
Dear Faith in Action Birmingham Peacemakers and Moms Demand Alabama:
In the Montgomery mayoral and city council elections scheduled for August 22nd, WSFA12 News is hosting a candidate forum on August 10th. https://www.wsfa.com/2023/08/03/wsfa-12-news-host-montgomery-candidates-forum-aug-10/
I have sent the below email to WSFA12 News and its four co-hosts, urging them to ask the candidates what they will do to try to reduce gun violence in Montgomery if they win their election.
As my email says, I am not a Montgomery voter.
Do you think the Montgomery candidates should be asked what they will do to try to reduce gun violence in Montgomery if they win their election?
Can you do anything that can help get that question asked of the candidates?
Thanks.
Rob Shattuck
