Courtfighter is a real nonprofit group, launched on December 25, 2009 by a Pennsylvania organization, that advocates nationally for civil liberties in courts.

Van Stone, President and Founder of the Van Stone Productions (VSP) Foundation, Inc., is a real life courtfighter based on the legend that like a firefighter he has almost single handedly brought national awareness that each year commonwealth courts kill people and destroy property. Certain people who have followed the Stone family drama know that each year fires kill people and destroy property. Therefore, these days, going to court and fighting a fire feels like, just about, doing the same thing. “If you ask me,” says Stone, “there is really no difference between learning a lot about how fires get started and how they spread, and learning about how court cases get started and how they spread.”

“If a fiery situation ignites at your feet, the foot of your bed, at the feet of your children, or at the foot of your house, you have to learn how to fight fire with fire. Or else, you are done. And there is no escape,” says Stone.

Stone, has been fighting in court since 2002 as he unexpectedly ended up in Media Delaware County Court for the first time when he was 40 years old.

At the time, Stone, whose complete legal name is "Samuel 'Van Stone' Downing", had to face the fear of Media Court Judges’ arrogance, power, and racially motivated dictatorial rulings.

Legend has it that the judges ruthlessly snatched the innocent, first born, 4-year-old daughter, Cheyenne Samara Downing and first son, 1 year old, Samson Dakota Downing from him with a signed order that permitted the judges to ensure that the children and Stone would never see each other again. The judges were not satisfied with the children having a father who was a good provider and had the reputation of being kind-hearted to most people he met. The judges let the children remain in spiritual poverty and emotional suffering as they had the misfortune of being raised by their twisted hearted mother who had given birth to them in an honorable marriage to Stone. Stone who had filed for divorce from his wife had married in 1996. The courts did not act fairly in the matter of Stone’s filing for divorce either.

The court's goal was to leave Stone broke and penniless after such a hurricane-like marriage to his estranged wife. Stone had worked hard to leave a life of poverty. He earned $20,000 to buy his new bride and children a home in historic East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. In the end, the courts would not stand for it that such a person with the background like Stone’s humble beginnings would move on up to live in a very nice house in the suburbs.

The court's action has prompted community leaders such as Diane White from Harrisburg, PA to help form a committee to clarify court guidelines, and a group of concerned government leaders to introduce a resolution that would do away with court guidelines deemed invasive.

“VSP Foundation’s Courtfighter is committed to upholding its long-standing commitment to the free exchange of ideas online and elsewhere. It's also committed to promoting an environment that encourages dialogue, debate and peaceful assembly and protest among Courtfighter Friends and members of the community,” says Van Stone.

What Courtfighter is doing is a useful service … to bring issues into the open.

A Courtfighter goal is to forbid court expressions of hostility against people based on characteristics such as race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status. This would also include altering evidence with the intent to impede, obstruct, and influence the decision. Another goal would be to quickly alarm administrators that court officials have been involved in tampering, destroying evidence. Court administrators would also be held accountable if ever proven that scheduled hearings were intentionally delayed or unscheduled as things of this sort are not permitted by the courts.

A courtfighter helps the individual in court to speak up if they understand that a judge should have recused himself or herself from a case because the civil court personally affected him or her.

Since the courtfighter primarily deals with Court of Common Pleas, Family Court matters, he or she fight to insure that the judge cannot deny a person, (the defendant), with a violation of a Protection From Abuse PFA Order, freedom solely because of the gravity of his or her original offense, but must provide some evidence (make contact and not non-contact, an exparte) to the court, district attorney, public defender, adult probation officer, and the defendant that the defendant poses a threat (causes fear) to the plaintiff if the PFA expired. And the courtfighter wants to legally establish that if any judge is found doing so the defendant should made aware that what the judge has done is not permitted.

And the courtfighter primarily deals with instances where the judge has made a non-contact (exparte) order, ignoring that the district attorney must show that a violator of a PFA remains a threat (causes fear) to the plaintiff. Because what the judge has done is not permitted.

In addition, a courtfighter informs the defendant about Exculpatory evidence as defined on the web:

Exculpatory evidence is the evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial, which clears or tends to clear the defendant of guilt. This is evidence that tends to show the innocence of an accused person. unless the proponent lost or destroyed them (making the defendant concerned with both the possible bad faith on the part of the judge and with the ultimate accuracy of the available evidence) in bad faith;

Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action.

Once (the court) they have it in their possession and they see everything and they should have consulted (the defender) you before they got rid of the originals. And they may have been useless to the defendant. But until the (trial judge and the defendant) we know what was in the originals we cannot presume it wasn't doctored (altered).

As a courtfighter Stone is challenging three behaviors in total.

Stone calls Media Court an "institution for having many guidelines that both clearly and substantially kills freedom of speech and liberty, and the right to live a normal life.”

"Diane White and I, and even others, must continue to show the meaning to include the real life need of men and women who would work to prevent and control court disasters," Stone said. "Men and women should assist in keeping courts clean and in working order. Men and women would learn ways to rescue people trapped in courts. They are Courtfighters who also might teach the public, train others and keep in good health like Firefighters do," he said.

What is true is that most people young and old alike know what a firefighter does. Today, many people need to become aware as to what a Courtfighter could do. Courtfighter is a foundation for individual rights in courts. The Philadelphia Front Page News would be glad to help if you had a problem in court, any court, especially in Media Courthouse, and feel something should be done about it. Realistic stories like the Legend of court fighter Stone are heard about where as many judges have misused all the court forces combined in order to keep many cases going forward insanely.
