Excerpt:
"A campaign launched to support Missouri's system for choosing judges looks to be active during the legislation session which begins in January. The group is called Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts. Its spokesman is Chip Robertson, the former Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court. It was formed to support the Missouri Non Partisan Court Plan which has come under fire of late, mainly from conservative groups. The group has conducted a public relations campaign to convince Missourians about the value of the Missouri Plan. Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts has joined with the Missouri Bar, the organization that represents the state's lawyers, as the primary supporters of the plan adopted by voters in 1942."

Script:
Missourians ... we have our own way of doing things. We listen to what others have to say ... and we treat each other with a sense of fairness. That's why for nearly three-quarters of a century our courts have been protected from partisan politics ... to keep our courts fair and impartial. But now, some politicians want to hand-pick our Missouri judges. We rely on our Missouri Nonpartisan Court Plan to preserve our court system as a separate branch of government... to keep politicians honest and protect our individual rights ... like the right to own a gun, the right to be free from unlawful taxation, and the right to protect our homes from eminent domain. Let's keep our courts out of the hands of politicians and the special interests. Go to ProtectJustice.org and learn what you can do to help. Paid for by Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts.
