“the United States legal system should not imitate Judge Wapner's ``People's Court.'' Our entrepreneurs should not be threatened by organizations like 1-800-LAWYER that encourage American citizens to sue everyone and anyone with little or no reason. Right now, our legal system is well intentioned, but is not structured with any common sense. We have the chance to provide this common sense with lawsuit abuse and product liability reform. We cannot continue to allow trial lawyers to enrich themselves at the expense of well-intentioned citizens. We have citizens in this country afraid to practice their business or produce certain products for fear of being sued. We have Americans who are not getting replacement heart valves because the company that manufactured them was afraid of being bankrupted by an enormous lawsuit. Let us put an end to out of control litigation and get the legal system in this country back on the right track, as we continue to enact our Contract With America.”
