Clear The Bench Colorado Director Matt Arnold discussed the judicial accountability movement in Colorado - from CTBC’s launch in April 2009 through the present - in a wide-ranging interview with Michael Schaus on KFTM Radio on 27 April 2011.

Topics include the formation of Clear The Bench Colorado, examples of how the Colorado Supreme Court violated the constitutional rights of Colorado citizens (particularly the right to vote prior to imposition of any tax increase via elimination of Tax Credits & Exemptions or re-defining Taxes as Fees) and opened the door to legislative abuses (such as last year’s “Dirty Dozen” tax increases), and the continued influence of the Colorado Supreme Court over several issues, such as the ongoing battle over Congressional Redistricting and state legislative reapportionment.

Clear The Bench Colorado will, with your support, continue to promote transparency and accountability in the Colorado judiciary, informing the public to increase awareness of the substantial public policy implications of an unrestrained activism and political agendas in the courts.  We will continue to work to educate voters and provide information of relevance related to the judicial branch, and to provide useful and substantive evaluations of judicial performance.

However, we can’t do it alone -  we need your continued support; via your comments (Sound Off!) and, yes, your contributions.  Freedom isn’t free -nor is it always easy to be a Citizen, not a subject.

Ultimately, though - it’s worth the effort.
