They are a fantastic organization and we don't have any other type or organization in this country that does this type of work to see that America stays ethical and upright.
Marshaling the resources to conduct the investigation and prosecute the law when those in power choose not to. Reporting extensively on their work and its results.

They are crooks! My father made a ONE TIME DONATION and I'm seeing numerous charges made to his account and the LYING POS COSTUMER SERVICE REP SAYS THERE ARE NO CHARGES AND BLAMES MY BANK. I HATE STEALING BASTARDS LIKE YOU FOLKS. Don't deserve even 1 star
"Ye Shall Seek The Truth & The Truth Will Set You Free"
To those who want to seek the truth, this is for you. The truth is not always pretty, or what we want to hear but nonetheless it is what we need to know. This watch group is exposing the truth. What we do with it is up to us. Keep up the good work Judicial Watch Inc.
Your allowance of a man of the character + deceptive inbred nature of Donald Trump, along with his disease of pathological lying, identifies you also as an UNSAVED entity, to be judged when Jesus returns soon…I pray for your AWAKENING before HE returns, & you review your image in a mirror. You previously had established yourselves as protectors of Christian values. Yet…for expediency & profit, you’ve aligned yourselves with a pathological liar…currently aligned with 30,000+ misstatements & outright lies. May Jesus extend mercy upon your souls… respectfully Timothy Paul Devlin…IHS…….
Excellent tactics and follow up on conservative issues. Tough fighting organization against government corruption.
I donated money to them once and they keep charging me for a yearly membership I did not sign up for. Called them. They said that are having an unusual amount of calls. Press this no. and an associate will get back to you. That was 10 hrs. ago. I might have to cancel my credit card and apply for a new one. More crooks in D. C.
If you are a corrupt politician or government official, be you a Democrat or Republican, be on notice that this organization will expose your corruption and abuse of power. I like having a watch dog to keep all of our government officials honest, no matter to which political party they belong.

Stop with the leading questions in your survey please. That would be a start. I don't mind doing the survey but I really just don't like some of the questions or they way they are worderd.
Let me ask the leftist liberal groups who feel they can push their views and beliefs on EVERYONE..... So you are all on board with one government mandate for every subject concerning its citizens? If I feel I have been discriminated against or a person from my race were killed, I can then burn, lute, riot, and physically attack anyone who i feel disagrees? That is exactly what your so-called peaceful activists do. If you feel there has been a terrible wring-doing then properly take steps to fix it. When you riot and lute.....YOU ARE now a criminal and be it 30 days in jail or probation or life sentence... all of your rights are on hold. No VOTING, no Free cable and education. Prisons should be self sustaining and inmates who do not have life sentences or a sentence that leaves them too old at release should have a job in prison and exemplary record to show they really want to be reformed to be able to be released into society. Prisons are over crowded because we have WEAK punishments for them and they just keep repeating crimes knowing they can handle Prison because it's too easy inside.. Police are there to make sure people follow laws. You break them? Tough S__T! The cops are not there to say...." Please don't run or attack me or shoot me or lie to my face.."......AND make sure the criminal is all comfy and cozy. I am sick and tired of the rest of the world giving us crap whenever we think of ourselves first. We are suffering because our current government is literally giving away our country that us blu collar workers built to ILLEGALS and ""OTHERS"" who are not contributing to America's welfare. Look at Venezuela folks..... that's us in near future if we don't think about US first and remove the festering sores in government. The Congress and Senate have to have shorter terms as does Supreme Court. A sitting President is useless when same "OLD" beings waist space on Capital Hill. Representatives should be mandated to RESIDE IN THEIR DISTRICT and CANNOTT LUVE IN A HOUSE MORE EXOENSIVE THAN THE AVERAGE HOME IN SAID DISTRICT. If you don't live like your constituents, how do you know what they are experiencing? The answer is You Don't ...and that makes you a liar and a hypocrite.
Just Stop And Think before you do something more stupid and bury us any deeper. PLEASE
How on earth did these people get my address? I've never even heard of them, let alone signed up for their stuff. They sent this ludicrous letter to me, full of conspiracy theory nonsense about the Big Lie, and asked me for money. I mean, they name-dropped George Soros and their whole letter was riddled with claims and "studies" with absolutely no footnotes or references (but a lot of all-caps, bolded type, and underlines). It was utter tripe. HOW DID THEY GET MY ADDRESS?
They have been charging my dad over the months, who passed away in February.. I asked for a refund, and the did not cooperate. They said I had to notify them right after he passed, then the would cancel the recurring charges. They were charging a dead person for months for no reason on my mother's credit card! they will go after you, beware of this scam.. WORST Customer Service ever...
I landed on this website because of my concern for my elderly father (age 93) who continually expresses alarm and shows mental distress after reading the materials of this organisation. He is unable to meet all of his own expenses for the care he needs yet has sent somewhere close to $2000 to this organisation over the past year. He says, "I can't really afford this" but our country is in dire straits and I have to help". Most recently he donated $1000 which earned him membership in "The President's Circle" and a follow-up fundraising request with boxes to check for a $1000 minimum gift up to a $10000 gift so that he can remain in the President's Circle. I have long been concerned about the alarmist nature of the materials Judicial Watch sends and am disgusted to see the manipulative, fear-mongering practices aimed at members of the population who no longer have the cognitive acumen to make informed decisions. This should be STOPPED!
SAVE YOUR MONEY, Why donate to the same people they purport to be defending America againsT communists, socialism, and bringing truth to the American people, when in fact. they are true communists, that if they disagree with your post(s) will report you, and have you thrown in jail (posting jail)
This Company is dedicated to helping weed out corruption in our country. We donate to its worthy cause and are impressed with the results Tom Fitton is able to achieve through his litigation.
As an independent, I vote during my local, state and national elections. In voting for a specific candidate, I make every attempt to vote for the person who I believe is best qualified and representative of the district I am from.
That being said, I am also a Vietnam era veteran, who received a purple heart, bronze star, two army accommodation medals as well as the Vietnam service medals for the period in which I served in country. I did this in service to my country -- a task fulfilled in consideration for living in one of the greatest country on earth, with the greatest freedoms experienced by any human.
As I look back on the building blocks of our great country, where early politicians who were elected, served their country for a limited period of time, then returned to their community where they earned a living and lived under the rules and regulations written and passed during their years of service.
Much has changed between the formation of our great nation and today. Fast forward for 200 + years and today we have life-time politicians, who make a career out of getting reelected. As they rise in their tenure, stature and power, they somehow loose their perspective on their role within the halls of congress, whether it be in the House or Senate. Massive pension programs, separate health care, extended support staffs, and unlimited junkets to various parts of the world, in the name of fact gathering create an aura of self importance & superiority.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. They forget who they are and believe they are above the law. This occurs in both the Republican and Democratic parties.
I find Judicial Watch to be valuable source of the truth. And I believe this is extremely needed in today's fast pace, instant communications society.
I believe each elected and government appointed employee needs to be held accountable for their actions, while serving as our duly elected and appointment representative. After all, they are our representatives, paid by our taxes.
Judicial Watch provided a vital role in monitoring the behavior of all elected and government appointed employees. This is the least they can do for our great nation. Anything less would be a total failure.

Judicial Watch claims to be a non-partisan Watch-Dog group, yet they only go after liberal and progressive organizations and politicians. They are in fact a hard-right conservative organization that gets funds by scaring old people. I received a mailing from them today that looked like a Complaint in Federal District Court. They are just out to enrich themselves and should be stripped of their non-profit status.
Review from Guidestar
They would get 5 if they spent more of their funding on their programs instead of funding the USPS. Looks to me like if you are a liberal democrat spitting venom then star one & if you are a coservative republican they go up on a pedestal with 5. While I lean towards the latter group wisdom & discernment, along with soberity & honesty get my 5.
Review from Guidestar
While I think Judicial Watch needs to rein in their spending and make 80% of their donations go towards the important litigation they do, their work is crucial in uncovering factual documents so the American people can know the truth about what our politicians are doing/hiding. I know of no other organization that has been able to uncover so many documents that expose what politicians do. And I know that if a conservative politician breaks the law, they will use the Freedom of Information Act on them just as fervently to uncover truth.
Review from Guidestar
I continue to donate to JW because they are a voice of Truth. Some of these reviews are tainted by left trolls intent on scaring truth seekers off. I applaud the JW watch efforts to get at the truth and will actually increase my donation to JW significantly. I am amazed at how the truth or organizations such as JW can be targeted by left leaning organizations. JW is not about politics it is about finding the truth.
Review from Guidestar
I read some of the negative reviews. I get lots of mail asking for money from lots of organizations. I called Judicial Watch and asked for them to limit mailings. They DID! I get their newsletters ONLY!!! They do a great job getting information using FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. They can be trusted I truly believe! And I do my homework BEFORE I WRITE CHECKS!!!
Review from Guidestar
This group has been harassing me for $ for over a year now. I have tried everything I can think of to get them to STOP THEIR MAILINGS but nothing has any effect. They are the most persistent of any of the hundreds of groups that send me unsolicited mail. I disagree with everything they do and have pointed out a lot of lies in their materials, yet even that does not stop them. Never give a penny to them or even go near them.
This is nothing but ultra-conservative politics. I was very disappointed. They send my elderly mother in a nursing home mail every week asking for money. She is not longer able to distinguish real business from junk mail. Good luck if yo go to their website and try to find a place to get yourself removed from their mailing lists. I don't know if it can be done other than to write them a letter and send it by USPS. Not sure that would even work. Not very transparent!
Review from Guidestar
This organization is committed to transparency in government, and the rooting out of lies, corruption, and government waste. I applaud their efforts. We need more organizations like this to make Americans more aware and responsible for the government they have.
Judicial Watch is a world class award winning organization which has been highly successful in revealing massive corruption within US federal, state and local governments. Over 93 percent of their contributions are from individuals, meaning big government and big business are not paying Judicial Watch to protect them. Judicial Watch is protecting each and every American citizen against corrupt tyranny. As a conservative organization demanding our Constitution and laws be followed they have become a victim of viscous false reviews on this website.
No one is forced to donate any money to this organization because highly educated informed people are contributing to Judicial Watch so the uninformed don't have to donate. Regardless of who contributes Judicial Watch is protecting each individuals personal rights and doing an incredible job. Google them in the current news.
Looking at the reviews, JW is obviously a target of the extreme left. The JW literature is not full of lies as one reviewer claims. They seem currently to be focused on the president's over reach through executive actions to circumvent the congress' responsibility for enacting laws and his administrations refusal to enforce some laws that he doesn't agree with even though it is explicitly stated in the constitution (Article II, Section 3) that the president "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed". In the past, JW has held major Democrat and Republican leaders accountable for their misuse of power.

Well, if exposing Hillary Clinton as the radical leftist that she is is a "far right agenda"...I'll take it. Remember Clinton, she as Scty of State, ignored the pleas for help at the Consulate in Benghazi where 4 Americans, including the ambassador, were killed. Then, along with Obama, shamelessly tried to blame it on a video rather than the terrorist attack that it was. Of course, Hillary's ultimate insult to the families of those killed and indeed all Americans, was the "what difference does it make" statement. I'd also like an expose of Eric Holder and the DOJ for the "Fast and Furious" fiasco where a US agent was killed. Oh, and a little more on the IRS targeting conservatives. The media assisted cover ups is persistent and pervasive. What I'd like to know is if JW is actually effective in exposing these travesties against the American people. If so, I'm on board.
This is a scam. They do in fact, prey on the elderly. Do not send money, nor let your loved ones be taken in, and taken advantage of, by this horrific "organization". WHY these thieves are not shut down is simply amazing. The elderly, on fixed incomes and vulnerable, are their targets. Have they no shame or conscience?
This group has been hounding my mother with unsolicited letters asking for money. She is 80 years old and has the beginnings of dementia and we just realized she has been sending them checks. I agree with the other reviewers that say they prey on the elderly after seeing their onslaught of mail to my mom. I have written to them and demanded that they remove her name from their contact list immediately. Sadly this is just one of many "organizations" that take advantage of those who are easily influenced.
Review from CharityNavigator
Have followed this organization for four years and believe that it is trying to be very fair about getting the elections to be fair and honest. If one doesn't believe that there was some illegal voting performed in the last National general election, then that one hasnot read the newspapers with an unbiased eye. I believe that Mr. Thomas Fitton and the Judicial Watch Organization is trying to do a great service for the United States of America.
This organization is a SHAM! They prey on senile, elderly people and appeal to their fear. My mother was suffering from demential and received appeals from this organization about twice per month. We tried repeatedly to get them to take her off a list, but they did not respond. My brother, who lives in the DC area even checked out the address on record, and no such office existed. If this is a real organization, I would love to hear their explanation!
This group should not be tax exempt. The headline of their fundraising letter is "Stop Acorn and the Entire Corrupt Obama machine from stealing the 2012 Elections." They are not non-partisan. I see no action against Republicans on their web site. And receiving this letter in an election year when they have never solicited from me before is lobbying. They can speak but contributors don't get a tax break for them lobbying against poor people voting. I don't want to give them even one star but that's the only way I can file these comments!
Review from CharityNavigator
How can this organization possibly be viewed as a "charity." I have received innumerable mailings from it, seeking funds to promote the far right agenda, and based on so many irresponsible falsehoods, that to categorize this group as "nonpartisan" is absolutely ridiculous.
