Bill Rice, Jr. FABULOUS WORK! You might want to send your most excellent letter more widely. Here are some suggestions:

Alabama representatives (put them on notice): https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/AL/6#q=alabama&marker_lng=-86.7892920871389&marker_lat=32.828865808

Alabama Press Association (APA): https://www.alabamapress.org/

APA staff: https://www.alabamapress.org/contact/

APA members: https://www.alabamapress.org/active-papers/

Good luck! I think you're on to something.

Thanks, Big E. I will follow your advice. Can't hurt. Maybe I could find out if one member of the Ala Press Association has written one contrarian Covid story ... in 27 months. I doubt this has happened. I'm the only Alabama reporter who has done this and I'm an obscure freelance reporter. I would be unemployable at a real newspaper today with the way I think and question authority.

You may be “unemployable” now, but if we throw off the tyrants, you will be at the top of the heap. Del Bigtree wants to expand his reach with REAL journalists in the vein (no pun intended) of Jeffrey Jaxen at https://thehighwire.com/editorials/jaxen-report/

Bigtree may have mentioned his desire to expand real journalism during one of his fundraising segments in the following episode: https://thehighwire.com/videos/episode-270-acts-of-malice/ . Sorry I don't have the time stamp for you.
