Judicial Watch

From the Judicial Watch Web site:

Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.

Through its educational endeavors, Judicial Watch advocates high standards of ethics and morality in our nation’s public life and seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people.

Judicial Watch fulfills its educational mission through litigation, investigations and public outreach.

This is an important organization with a tag line I can get behind, “Promoting Integrity, Transparency and Accountability in Government, Politics and the Law.”

It is too often forgotten that the government receives its power from the people. Unfortunately, the people act as if the government is the one in charge. We “hire” and pay people to govern us according to established rules and regulations. In a world where the people have, for all intents and purposes, abandoned their constitutional right and responsibility to oversee their government, it is a good thing that there are groups out there like Judicial Watch to help rein in an out of control government that has become accustomed to unaccountability.

Can you imagine a government characterized by integrity, transparency, and accountability? It’s not easy. Regardless, I am glad there are people out there who have not given up hope.
