THE OLDEST MOST SUCCESSFUL LEGAL REFORM GROUP IN THE WORLD!!!

We network with hundreds of other legal reform groups, such as “ We the People�, founded by Bob Schultz. While in Arizona giving a lecture to more than 250, he discussed his concern that on his deathbed he would look back and see America drifting far from its moorings of faith in God, personal freedom, equal justice, due process of law, and respect for private property. Bob Schultz said we must build a National Organization to police the courts and government, so that they comply with their own rules and constitution. Many give regularly to their favorite charities, cancer, opera and green societies. Who contributes to the groups whose purpose is vigilance of the government and it’s legal system?

Current Info . . .
Trial lawyers are fighting hard against the Asbestos Bill because the Trust Fund would cap legal fees at 5% instead of 30 to 50% (IBD 2/13/06)
From 1988-98 N.Y.S. pop. Grew 1.5%. The number of lawyers soared by 40% (NY Post 1/16/06) By the year 2026 every man and woman will be a lawyer and we can sue each other.
A Manhattan mother, Dyandria Murry, was jailed for nearly 3 years by Judge Helen Sturm. She was distributing leaflets and airing a local TV show critical of family courts.(Daily News 11/23/04)
Children, lawyers and politicians will always try to get away with what they can. It’s up to you to stop them. Recently, Gov. Pataki tried to raise funds for an Israeli Hospital under the title of NY Dormitory bonds- in violation of the NYS Constitution.
Is killing animals fun and fur necessary? Why does our government promote it? Shouldn’t the interests of wildlife come first, especially in the National Wildlife Refuse System? See _www.fundforanimals.org_ (http://www.fundforanimals.org)   or   _www.refuges.org_ (http://www.refuges.org)
Witnesses say Suff. Judge Gary Weber napped at sex abuse trial. A legal attorney George Duncan Esq., called the claims ridiculous. (Newsday 11/10/05) A relapsed Judge James Gilpatric of Kingston, was censured by the Commission on Judicial Conduct. His Buddy Judge T. Klonick did not believe he should be sanctioned for a one-time failure. (NY Post 12/30/05) Birds of a feather!!!
A man is innocent until proven broke. Take a lawyer out to lynch.
Though Suffolk County Exec. Steve Levy Esq. is a lawyer, he is trying to do the right thing. (Chamber of Commerce breakfast 2/7/06)
Judge Stanley Harwood, who said in so many words “ It’s ok to steal a little if you’re lawyer� continues to receive payoffs for his corrupt incompetent favors with appointments by his friends at the Office of Court Administration
When you sue a lawyer, the prose litigants’ testimony is deemed not to be true. The court believes only lawyers are truthful.
The Suffolk Police plan to install video/audio in 55 cars($4000/car). Exec. Steve Levy believes it would save $ by reducing money spent on frivolous lawsuit claims. (Newsday 1/31/06)
The powerful name in news “ The O’Reilly Factor� believes Sheldon Silver is the most corrupt politician/lawyer in America. Silver has not yet denied it.
A commission to look into matrimonial laws called for an overhaul of divorce and child custody rules, for authorization of no-fault divorce. Chief Judge Kaye said “divorce takes much too long and costs too much money, agony, and is too hard on the children. The panel called for mediation procedures and to move cases more swiftly through the system.(Matrimonial Commission Feb.06)
Chief Judge Judith Kay called for change in the way judges are elected, citing undue control by party leaders and unconstitutional elections.(Feb.6 Annual State of the Judiciary address).
Through the years many complaints have been made about Taylor Walkers’ Esq. incompetence, probably a result of his substance abuse. Most recently we have observed his despicable actions, suing a defenseless litigant before the incompetent Judge Martin J. Massel, District Ct. Hempstead, for $13000 in fees. As long as judges protect their buddies with unjust awards, the system will never work. Next time, Taylor should be permanently disbarred. Vice President Chaney did his part- he shot a lawyer.
Edward Cashmana, VT District Court Judge, sentenced a man who confessed to raping a 10 year old child 50 times, to only 60 days.(IBD 1/13/06).
The most frivolous awards: A Texas woman was awarded $78,000 after breaking her ankle tripping over her own toddler in a store. A 19 year old man won $74,000 when his neighbor ran over his hand while he was stealing same neighbor’s hubcaps. An Oklahoma man won $1.7 million when he crashed his Winnebago after setting the cruise control and going to make himself a cup of coffee. There was no warning label.
Hershey Chocolate has been ordered to pay obese Americans $135 Billion and place a warning on all it’s products reading “The Surgeon General has determined that eating chocolate may lead to being really fat�.

If you think only state courts are crooked think again. A Federal Court Judge on L.I., Judge Francis Conrad, was suddenly disrobed- possibly because he forgot to mention to the litigants he was friends with one of the lawyers before him, John Westerman Esq. He continued this relationship as an arbitrator and once again did not disclose that he had a relationship with Westerman et al.(US Bankruptcy Court Southern District NY 02-14758 PCB) Had the courts disclosed to the public why he was disrobed it would have prevented a recurrance of the events. Instead, the courts chose to conceal their findings leading up to Conrad’s dismissal. Who is responsible for this?
“Reform should take review of judges away from the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, as currently constituted. In CA., complaints against judges and lawyers are reviewed by citizens, the majority of whom are not in the legal profession. Hearings are open to the public, not closed as in NY. The committee reviewing judicial and legal conduct is properly funded and can carefully review misconduct allegations. New York has bad judges because the system that reviews judicial conduct is a closed political system. Open up the process so fresh air can circulate. Change procedures so the law is interpreted to protect citizens rather than the legal system�.I.R.Eisenstein
