"For my part, I would simply affirm that the sacrifices borne by veterans deserve to be memorialized in something more lasting than marble or bronze or in the fleeting effect of a politician's speech. Your valor and your devotion to duty have earned your country's abiding concern for your well being. I am, I assure you, committed to honoring that debt."
John McCain, Remarks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 3/7/95
Only one candidate seems to make sense, because that candidate speaks in plain English. John McCain talks to the issues important to American Voters. As an American who understands service, John McCain speaks from the heart on issues important to voters.

Although the bad news is our government is broken, the good news is the public sector wants to fix it. See, www.USAjudges.com a site that restores transparency to government.

As USAjudges.com demonstrates, a good government is a transparent one.
Nationally, ethical lapses persist - (with USAjudges.com no waiting. This is very helpful during elections years.)

Numerous confidential proceedings governing judicial conduct of a public servant, was the impetus for http://www.USAjudges.com
which demonstrates through transparency, the power of government is with its people, while reminding citizens of judges are above the law:
"Mitchell vs. McBride 944F.2D 229 "A judge will not be deprived of immunity because the action he took was in error, was done maliciously, or was in excess of his authority; rather he will be subject to liability only when he has acted in the clear absence of all jurisdiction.' The rule of judicial immunity applies even where the judge is accused of acting maliciously or corruptly…Sariello vs. Campbell 860 F. Supp. 54"
The judges featured below demonstrate the need for judicial accountability.

We have to thank Americans for caring enough to make our own government transparent; because our senators busy with the war, or not, are not holding judges accountable.
So we're all trying in our own way, to repair America.
