Formed in 1970 as part of an effort to unseat California’s liberal Supreme Court Justice, Rose Bird. All staff works on a volunteer basis. The organization has sought to remove judges who it feels are not strict enough in sentencing convicted defendants. They also endorse the election of conservative district attorneys, sheriffs, district judges, state assembly representatives, California Supreme Court judges, and appeals court judges. This group supports victims’ rights initiatives and advocates for the death penalty. Endorsed John Ashcroft as Attorney General.
