MORE TAKE ACTION SOLUTIONS

Tell Congress and state lawmakers to oppose laws that restrict access to the courts.

◊ Congress: Make your voices heard on two important bills right now!

Stand Up for Patients’ Rights. Tell your member of Congress to oppose the badly named, badly flawed “Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare Act of 2011″ (H.R. 5), which would allow for sweeping immunity from accountability for the health industry—including doctors, nursing home operators, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.

Stop the Corporate Attack on Our Rights and End Forced Arbitration. Tell your members of Congress to support the Arbitration Fairness Act (S. 987 and H.R. 1873), a good bill that would provide limits on mandatory arbitration by corporations; arbitration should be agreed to by both parties after a dispute arises, not inserted in the fine print of one-sided contracts.

◊ States: Contact your state lawmakers, and tell them to oppose “caps” and so-called “tort reform.”

Most of your rights are being taken away at the State level. Find your elected representatives. Tell them to oppose laws that limit your legal rights. And sign up for Action Alerts to be kept informed about what’s happening in your state (we’ll need your zip code).
