Deputy March Parents Endorse Mike Bartlett
For Orange County Judge
Dana Pt: The Parents of Los Angeles Sheriffs Deputy David March, whose murder by a twice-convicted, twice deported illegal alien became a national cry for justice for felons who fled to Mexico announced today that they are endorsing attorney Mike Bartlett for Orange County Judge.
The March Parents began a prolific campaign in 2004 when President George Bush announced in front of a crowd of 20,000 police and sheriffs attendees at the National Police Memorial in Washington, DC that his administration would do all it could to return the killer of Deputy March.
John and Barbara March were steadfast in their determination to capture Armando Garcia and worked diligently with talk-shows like KFI, KABC, the Michael Reagan Show, Lou Dobbs of CNN and Sean Hannity, to raise public outrage and attention to the plight of thousands of murder victims whose killers fled to Mexico. Garcia is serving a life-sentence in California.
John March explained he was honored to endorse Bartlett, citing Mike’s advocacy for crime victims, his support for Prop 69/ DNA for Felons, and Mike’s support MADD and the OC Traffic Officers.
March closed by citing, “Mike will be an outstanding Judge for Orange County. He’s trusted by citizens and victims and will be resolute in helping law enforcement and communities against crime, gang violence and predators.”

Yorba Linda, CA - OC Superior Court Candidate Mike Bartlett was joined by 600 Police, Sheriff, CHP and OC District Attorney Prosecutors this week at the 21st Annual MADD Orange County DUI Recognition Luncheon held at the Nixon Library on March 13, 2008.
Bartlett, a MADD member and advocate for the enforcement of DUI laws and the support of Officers, Deputies and Prosecutors who diligently work the streets and courtrooms to protect citizens, was part of the minute-long standing ovation for HB Traffic Officer Tai Huynh, who established a new county record of 407 arrests in one year.
Officers from Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Orange Police Departments dominated the awards, taking most of the top 10 honors for most arrests in one year.
Bartlett said, “I was proud to be present for the MADD Recognition awards today. I have always been supportive of law enforcement and I was moved by the personal experiences we heard today, the efforts made to protect the public from drunk drivers and the need for greater education and enforcement. All of us need to remain vigilant in the battle against drunk drivers on our streets and highways.”

The three hour event provided Bartlett, who has both personal relationships with members of law enforcement in the Sheriff’s Department and police officers in the county, a chance to say “thank you” to recipients of the most prestigious awards in law enforcement: The Medal of Valor for Lifesaving or Heroism in Combat.
Bartlett’s appearance at the event defined his life-long respect for law enforcement officers and agencies and culminated a week of endorsements and appearances.

Bartlett is a Platinum donor to the 150-member OC Traffic Officers Association Foundation that supports injured Traffic Officers and surviving families of members who are killed on-duty and is a member of MADD OC where he recently appeared to honor the top DUI Officer and Prosecutors with 600 attendees at the Nixon Library.
