Subject: Iowa State Bar Association and ABA Task Force for American Democracy
Dear Mr. Dinkla,
I am a retired lawyer in Alabama.
I have been advocating for the Alabama State Bar to undertake supportive activities in Alabama relative to the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy and its year long mission that is set out at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/.
Recently, I thought the great attention that was being paid to this past week's GOP Presidential primary debate at the University of Alabama was an excellent opportunity for the Alabama State Bar (and other parties) to partake of the Task Force's mission to "host public conversations with a broad spectrum of Americans to hear their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law." https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/11/presidential-debate-in-tuscaloosa-aba.html
Last Saturday, I sent the Alabama State Bar the below email, importuning it once more prior to the Dec. 6th debate.
The attention surrounding the Dec. 6th debate in Alabama is now past, and national attention is on Iowa and the upcoming Iowa caucuses.
The purpose of this email is to urge the Iowa State Bar Association to avail of the national attention now on Iowa to host public conversations in Iowa with a broad spectrum of Iowans to hear their "concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law."
Thank you for the indulgence of the Iowa State Bar Association in receiving this communication from a member of the Alabama State Bar.

Dear Professor Fowler,
I am a retired lawyer in Alabama and Dartmouth class of 1969.
Per the below email I sent to the Dartmouth Lawyers Association, I am trying to see whether there can be arranged to be held at Dartmouth a public conversation event of the type that the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy is seeking to be held during its year long mission that is set out at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/ (to wit, "public conversations with a broad spectrum of Americans to hear their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for restoring and preserving our democracy rule of law").
It would seem ideal if a public conversation event could be held at Dartmouth prior to the New Hampshire primary on January 23rd, which obviously would make for a big rush.
I identified you to whom to send this email from the article at Will Sununu endorsement make a dent in Trump turnout? (wcax.com).
I am not a member of the ABA Task Force, but Task Force Vice Chair William Ide and the two reporters for the Task Force know of my efforts related to the Task Force's mission. I am copying them on this email, and they can decide whether the Task Force desires to host a conversation at Dartmouth.
Also, you will see below an email that I sent to the New Hampshire Bar Association, and maybe they would help out here.
Further, Jeff Carton of the Dartmouth Lawyers Association has indicated possible interest, so I am copying him as well, plus Ellen Halstead, the Association secretary, and Christie Borton, President of the Dartmouth Club of Alabama.
To conclude, if you can take this idea up with an appropriate Dartmouth administrative office, or if you can refer me to such an office, that would be super.
Thank you very much.

Dear Mr. Coates:
I can appreciate how jam-packed it is prior to the January 23rd primary election, that election now being overlain with the United States Supreme Court being momentously thrust into the center of how the 2024 election will unfold.
I note the following scheduled Dartmouth events: Liz Cheney, "An Oath to Defend Democracy" campus event on January 5th; Jamie Raskin, "Democracy vs. Autocracy" campus event on January 8th; January 23rd debate watch party; and Dartmouth Lawyers Association 2024 annual meeting, Jan. 25-28, Keynote Speaker Neal K. Katyal ‘91.
As of now, I don't see any Presidential candidate appearances on the Dartmouth events schedule, but maybe candidate appearances at Dartmouth can still happen and make your job even more difficult.
For your information, two days ago the Co-Chairs of the ABA Task Force, Michael Luttig and Jeh Johnson, had an ABA Presidential Speaker Series "Democracy in Peril" conversation with New York Times opinion columnist David French. A video of the conversation is at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/presidential-speaker-series/democracy-in-peril/?spredfast-trk-id=sf184449179, which could be of help if Dartmouth tries to put on something.
Also for your information, Michael Luttig and Neal Katyal '91 have been on the cable TV this week talking about the Colorado Supreme Court decision. Laura Ingraham '85 too has done talking this week about the decision.
With so much consequential that will be swirling in January, is there is any chance that the Liz Cheney event or the Jamie Raskin event could be modified to add an ABA Task Force for American Democracy public conversation dimension, and possibly Neal Katyal and/or Laura Ingraham added?
I regret to say I continue unaware as to whether the ABA Task Force for American Democracy has any interest in a public conversation event at Dartmouth, and I will copy the Vice Chair and the two reporters again on this email (plus the Dartmouth Lawyers Association and the Dartmouth Club of Alabama Presidents).
I am available for a zoom tomorrow or Saturday morning if that can help you in any way.

I have tried to ask University of Alabama President Stuart Bell whether he believes Donald Trump engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6th. My email asking President Bell this is set forth below.
In the quadrennial tradition of Dartmouth having timely significance in the Presidential election, I see there are upcoming campus speaking events of Liz Cheney, "An Oath to Defend Democracy," on January 5th, and of Jamie Raskin, "Democracy vs. Autocracy," on January 8th.
These led me to email The Dartmouth and The Dartmouth Review, urging them to editorialize regarding the question: "Did Donald Trump engage in insurrection on Jan. 6th?" and conduct student surveys on the question.
All things considered, I think your Office of the President should issue a statement to the College calling attention to the perilous condition the United States is in, the importance of democracy in the country's moving through said perilous condition, and the special opportunity the Dartmouth community has in January to have much timely conversation about democracy.

Dartmouth College was also not in a position to organize such a conversation event at Dartmouth, and I sent to Dartmouth College President Sian Leah Beilock an email urging that her office issue a statement to the College calling attention to the perilous condition the United States is in, the importance of democracy in the country's moving through said perilous condition, and the special opportunity the Dartmouth community has in January to have much timely conversation about democracy.

Since August I have been advocating for the Alabama State Bar and other state bar associations to undertake supportive activities relative to the Task Force and its year long mission that is set out at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/.

Most recently I have focused on the Iowa and New Hampshire bar associations in light of the January 15th Iowa caucuses and the January 23rd New Hampshire primary election. See https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/12/iowa-caucuses-new-hampshire-primary.html.
Next up in the presidential election cycle after Iowa and New Hampshire is South Carolina.
If the South Carolina Bar is not already undertaking activities in furtherance of the mission of the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy, I urge the South Carolina Bar to initiate the same forthwith. (I assume Mr. Ide agrees with me.)
Thank you for your attention to this email.

Dear President Amiridis and Dean Hubbard:
Please see the below email I sent to the South Carolina Bar, urging it to undertake activities in furtherance of the year long mission of the American Bar Association Task Force for American Democracy that is set out at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/american-democracy/overview/.
I think the University of South Carolina and the Joseph F. Rice School of Law can play a valuable role here. (FWIW, see emails I have sent to Dartmouth College, the University of New Hampshire and the University of Iowa that are posted at https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/12/iowa-caucuses-new-hampshire-primary.html.)
I hope you will undertake something here.
