Here's one for the good guys
A Victory for Clean Elections

Testimony that the Clean Elections system is effective at cleaning up the legislature, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled against State Rep. David Burnell Smith's attempts to hold his office after violating the Clean Elections campaign rules. David Burnell attempted to stay in office after over spending his public campaign funds; however, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an injunction to remove the bull-headed representative. Smith pursued the argument that the law was unconstitutional and threatened to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, but after hearing numerous objections from his constituency, Smith now says that a higher court battle is unlikely.

This is an absolute example of government accountabilty. The citizens of Arizona will no longer tolerate inept management of the public trust. The voice of the people is blaring and the sweet aroma of Democracy is irrevocably eminationg from the Phoenix State Houses.
Arizona's motto, Ditat Deus, meaning God enriches, is an apt declaration for a people ready to guide their own destiny.

Your state could be next.

This can happen.
