That one you need to send to Kenneth E. Phillipps, he's part of the problem.

I wonder if Kenny still needs to protect his manure ?

We are threatening the "chicken manure" of the trial lawyers and we are prepared to fight back against the cornered rats for a legal system that is predictable, fair, and consistent. The good news is that we are not alone in this battle. A recent poll shows that 75% of Washington voters feel that juries have gone wild giving huge awards, with 56% calling these judgments a “crisis” or “major problem.”

Washington Citizens for a Sound Economy is joining forces with the Liability Reform Coalition, a group of over 60 organizations, to help pass a comprehensive liability reform bill that will protect taxpayers, consumers, patients and victims.

Liability Reform is a key issue in the national CSE agenda and in the Washington state agenda.
For the first time in years, Washington has a real chance to do something about the growing number of lawsuits that threaten health care, small businesses, homebuilders and others, and cost taxpayers and consumers millions of dollars each year.

The trial lawyers who depend on the big settlements from these lawsuits are already organizing in an effort to prevent reforms. In the past, they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they are ready to do that again.

Better late than never...

This is exactly why President Bush has pushed for proven reforms that make the medical liability system more fair, predictable and timely. Medical liability reform will protect Americans' access to the doctors and medical treatment they need in their community.
