1.  Through its members, the American Bar Association (ABA) union is the only private interest group which controls an entire branch of government.  

2.  This control violates the separation of powers and the intent of the framers of the U.S. Constitution to prevent the domination of government by private interest groups.

3.  The ABA is a labor union for lawyers dedicated to advancing its own interests. 

4.  The American Bar Association exists to advance its own interests at the expense of the public while claiming in its writings and public statements that it exists to serve the consumer.  Make no mistake about it, the ABA represents its members to the detriment of the public as do all labor unions.

5.  The American Bar Association suffers from the hubris of having no competition and a firm resolve not to change. 

6.  History teaches us that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.   Where there is no alternative and no competition, abuse is the sure result. 

7.  While giving lip service to the goals of promoting the public interest and protecting consumers, the reality is that the American Bar Association operates in a manner that promotes its own interests.  The ABA vigorously opposes public accountability.  The ABA claims that it and its members alone are the only qualified protectors of democracy.

8.  Any citizen who can read, write, and speak should be able to practice law for themselves and others.

9.  Judges should not be lawyers.  Judges should not be members of the American Bar Association.  Judges should not attend law school with others who go on to practice law before them.  There is an inherent, insurmountable, and unavoidable conflict of interest when lawyers come before judges, both of whom belong to the same professional groups and just had lunch together.  Every lawyer will tell you that if he or she knows the judge, that fact alone will make a difference in the outcome of a case.

10.  The American Bar Association is an illegal monopoly under U.S. law.  But, the law is controlled by members of the American Bar Association.

11.  Unauthorized practice of law statutes, similar to laws protecting labor unions, exist to protect the lawyer monopoly not protect the public.  Certified Public Accountants (CPA) don't criminalize the practice of accounting by non-CPA accountants and bookkeepers to keep them from competing.  Consumers decide for themselves who they will hire to do their accounting and tax work.  Freedom of choice:  What a novel idea! 

12.  All lawyers strive to maximize the amount of money they extract from clients.  Lawyers avoid telling clients the truth regarding their cases in order to prolong the process of litigation. 

13.  Excessive legal fees suck the lifeblood out of average people and the economy. 

14.  Government should provide a judicial branch of government that actually serves the people and is not controlled by the ABA labor union.

15.  Tax dollars should be allocated to fund the reform of our legal system to aid citizens who seek justice.

16.  Due Process is denied to 90% of the people in this country because the majority cannot afford the cost of legal representation.

17.  Access denied is justice denied. 

18.  Access to the legal system is denied to those who cannot afford it.

19.  Every judge in this country advises pro se litigants to retain legal counsel. This advice violates the code of judicial conduct wherein judges are admonished not to express political opinions.

20.  The constitutional right to self-representation is settled law in this country and has been since 1789 when the U.S. Constitution was ratified.  Judges violate their judicial oath when they advise against self-representation. 

21.  Moreover, judges have a palpable prejudice against pro se litigants and usually find in favor of parties who are represented by members of the American Bar Association.  Therefore, judges violate their oaths of office whereby they pledge to be fair and impartial.
