Eagle Forum's Court Watch offers the following suggestions for grassroots Americans wishing to convert America's courts from engines of injustice to instruments of justice. A comprehensive reform campaign requires attacks on three fronts:

I. EDUCATION: 
The message that we must understand and convey is that the injustice of the current federal judiciary is an intensely real and relevant problem, but also a resolvable problem.
Many fine materials are available for this effort:

• Courting Justice: A Guide to Federal Judicial Reform is a basic manual written for all concerned Americans to equip them for the battle; it is available from Eagle Forum or the Blackstone Institute;

• Audio tapes and printed materials addressing a wide spectrum of relevant issues (included, but not limited to, an examination of America's cultural and constitutional decline, a defense of judicial restraint and philosophical conservatism, and a defense of Christians' responsibility to be involved in public life) are also available from the Blackstone Institute;

• A special video taped T. V. show focusing on the Courting Justice Campaign is available from the Blackstone Institute;

• Additional materials are periodically posted on the websites of Eagle Forum's Court Watch and the Blackstone Institute.

II. PARTICIPATION:  
Be personally involved:

• Sign up with Eagle Forum's Court Watch to receive frequent Alerts and Briefs regarding judicial nominations and other judicial reforms (urgent alerts require e-mail addresses or fax numbers);

• Contact your leaders in Washington and your state capitals as suggested in the Alerts you receive;

• Confront your leaders in person when they are in your area;

• In contacting leaders, the most effective methods are phone calls (for urgent matters) and personal letters (for matters where time allows);

• All messages should be clear, concise, and courteous;

• During election campaigns, question candidates regarding their views of the courts and judicial reform;

• Utilize talk shows and other broadcasting opportunities to deliver our message;

• Write letters to the editor and utilize other opportunities provided by print journalism to deliver our message.

Proselytize!

• Recruit additional Courting Justice Campaign supporters from existing groups--civic clubs, professional organizations, church and parachurch organizations, etc.; naming a "Court Watch Chairman" within such a group can be most helpful;

• Build your own "Court Watch Committee" composed of a Chairman with an e-mail or fax (essential to receiving urgent Alerts as well as other vital materials) and other concerned citizens; develop a communications network such as a phone tree or e-mail, and/or fax group which can be activated by that Chairman;

• Develop a "3 x 3" communication system which can be used by itself or as a part of the group activity described above: find three individuals/couples, each of whom is committed to contact three other individuals/couples who agree to act on our Alerts and other information as they reach you; if even two of the three individuals/couples in each link responded and the network included just twelve levels, 4,096 concerned Americans could be reached in a very short time. What an army!

III. SUPPLICATION:  
The Blackstone Brigade offers Americans the opportunity to be involved in a unique prayer ministry regarding the federal courts.

• Members of the Brigade will be assigned a specific federal court (or may choose a court) for which they commit to pray daily.

• Each Brigade member receives a "prayer marker" naming his/her court to assist in remembering the responsibility and privilege of intercessory prayer;

• All Brigade members also will receive periodic court updates and alerts with information to assist their prayer efforts.

• To join the Blackstone Brigade, contact the Blackstone Institute.
