This letter was a campaign issue regarding the legality of the letter on official Scottsboro Letterhead. I interviewed then Mayor Shelton about this letter, he stated to me, paraphrased, "I paid for the reproduction, typing, distribution, and postage of the letter." Current Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy stated to me, quote: ". . .For the record, I never heard of this org [organization - FATPAC] until someone forwarded me the post. Further more it is a state law that was violated . . . " Photo of Letter and quotations of political officials - Fair-Use for non-profit news reporting, commentary and education, "In the Boro" by G.
