Responsibility and accountability - even for the powerful - are rooted in the core of our legal system. This country's founders knew that a democracy needs a court system that empowers people to protect themselves by holding the powerful accountable. That's why the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury.
The founders feared unaccountable power like the King of England had over his "subjects." Twenty-first century America may not have a king, but it does have billion-dollar corporations impacting every part of every person's life. These corporations now seek the kind of unaccountable power our founders sought to protect against, and they're seeking that power by destroying your Constitutional right to a trial by jury.
Politicians who are in the pockets of large corporations and insurance companies have devised a plan specifically aimed at destroying our right to hold those in power accountable for their misdeeds. Their plain is to enact laws that will all but destroy your right to use the judicial system to protect yourself. They have introduced bills which, if passed, will enact arbitrary changes to courts all across the country, including the following:
- Limiting compensation for injuries caused by medical professionals, including doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, and medical device manufacturers, to $250,000.00 regardless of how much that injury devastated your life or the extent of malfeasance by the medical professional or company;
- Eliminating class-action lawsuits, which would essentially destroy the ability to bring the kinds of cases that keep us safe;
- Eliminating individual state laws regarding lawsuits and forcing all cases to federal court; and,
- Allowing insurance companies to make "payments" rather than paying full compensation.
We must tell our government to put people first and stop trampling on our rights. Steve German has always protected citizens of Arizona by demanding everyone is treated fairly, regardless of gender, race, or economic status. Please join us in demanding Congress do the same. We must band together and contact our representatives to demand they say NO to these outrageous attacks on our rights. Go to each link below and tell them NO!
