The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the
transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them . . ."
-Patrick Henry
The Florida Sunshine Coalition (FSC) For Open Access to Tapes and Records In Our Courts has been founded by Nancy Grant, Founder of Florida Pro Se Bar Incorporated, along with a long list of citizens who are extremely concerned about the war of corruption, theft and lies that seems to be waging against We The People in our local, state and federal courts nationwide.
FSC believes that We The People of America are at an important crossroad in our world today. We are witnessing, all around us an aggressive devolution and degradation of the integrity and credibility of our courts. The light of divine truth - i.e. "Sunshine” - seems to be under increasing attack from all quarters. Here in Desoto County, Florida, for example, the audiotape recording systems have been removed from many courtrooms. The services of court reporters are no longer provided to litigants, especially those who attempt to defend themselves on a pro se basis. Increasingly, the courts have become a "pay to play" system of justice that seems to act like a "for profit" corporation that feeds off of the time, trust, property and rights of We The People.
Ask yourself this simple question:
How can justice be served if We The People cannot record/create cure and save an accurate record of the court proceedings?
Nancy Grant and the members of FSC believe that the veil of legitimacy and integrity of our local, state and federal courts have been stripped away by these actions. FSC along with members of We The People do not want to provide a false sense of hope that only seem to divide us from one another. There is but ONE Light, in Chicago, in America and the World: THE LIGHT OF TRUTH! And we as a people MUST....MUST declare, share and celebrate this Light NOW!! For if we do not rise up and shine the light of truth on these matters, this War of Corruption, Theft and Lies will, like monsters, continue to swallow up our families, our communities and our nation at large.
As John Perkins, author of "Confessions of An Economic Hit Man" has declared "Now is the Time!!"
We are making an open challenge to the Florida Bar to address this issue now by repeating this simple question:
"WHERE ARE THE AUDIO TAPES?"
"WHERE ARE THE AUDIO TAPES?"
FSC agrees with the Sunshine Coalition of Kansas that "only through full and complete access to government & court records, meetings and public officials can citizens make intelligent, informed decisions about the direction of their government and the people they elect."
Open government is one thing, but FSC believes that unless and until we can bring Sunshine - i.e. the light of truth - back into our courtrooms, the prospect and potential for this vision of "open government" will never been realized. We MUST bring back audio recording technologies and court reporters back into our courtrooms. FSC is even advocating another bold step beyond this:
WE MUST BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO BRING VIDEO CAMERAS INTO OUR COURTROOMS AT ALL LEVELS!!

Record Your Own Case: Keep Light In The Courtroom
http://exiledfathers.org/#GENERALADVICE
The technology exists for courts to easily provide you with a copy of the video or audio recording of every hearing. Digital recording allows voice to text conversion software to create a written transcript. We should demand courts provide this service to reduce costs. Transcripts from private court reporters are very expensive. By helping to keep people honest, electronic recording reduces the need for further litigation or appeals which require expensive transcripts of hearings.
From a parent's perspective, manual court reporting transcripts without video or audio content are obsolete because they do not record emotional content or body language. Would you video record your kid's birthday, basketball or soccer game, but not the court proceeding that determines his or her destiny? Let's get real! Transcribers can make mistakes and leave out or alter important testimony. Electronic recording provides 100% accuracy and emotional content.
Should not the People, and not judges, decide how to monitor what goes on inside The Peoples' courtrooms? Some jurisdictions provide copies of audio or video already. This keeps light in the courtroom, the best disinfectant to prevent contamination of dishonesty that prevails with secretive hearings, thus reducing need for expensive transcripts.
It is outrageous that cameras or at least audio recordings are not provided in family courtrooms and perhaps most other courtrooms. DEMAND IT! Only electronic recording will keep judges and lawyers honest. Judges work for us. We have a right to monitor their performance in the courtroom. Demand competence. But don't expect honesty without electronic surveillance of judges and attorneys.
If cameras were required in all family courts, the divorce industry would die! We must demand cameras in the courtrooms when our children's lives are at stake!!! The fact that this is not already common practice demonstrates the blatant fascism - secretive legal proceedings.
