On November 4 Johnson County, Kansas residents will decide whether to allow politics and money to pollute our courts.  Judges should not be politicians.  They should leave their personal politics at the courthouse steps.  Cases should be decided objectively and fairly on the law and the facts.

Judges should not accept bribes under the guise of campaign contributions.

Yesterday’s Kansas City Star interviewed elected judges in Sedgwick and Wyandotte Counties.  Those judges said that they do their best to remain objective and fair notwithstanding who helped elect them.  I’m sure they try; but, when the chips are down, they want to keep their jobs, just like any politician.

Keep our courts free of politics and money.  Vote NO to Johnson County, Kansas Ballot Question #1.
