The coalition of forces fighting for tort reform is extremely powerful and well-funded. It includes the medical lobby (including the American Medical Association and state medical societies across the country); the insurance industry (the most profitable business in America); corporate lobbying organizations, such as the Chamber of Commerce; and Big Business, including the Tobacco Industry and corporate polluters.

WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR
LEGISLATOR
before it's too late.

Politicians from the White House down to statehouses across the nation are engaged in a relentless campaign to serve corporate special interests by taking away the rights of hard-working Americans. 

To them, lawsuits by injured people are just an annoyance and they know tort reform will make many of them "go away." 

CJA urges you to CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS and tell them to vote NO on tort reform.

While personalized letters are the most effective form of communication to your legislators, CJA has included several

form letters - in editable Microsoft Word format - which you can print out, sign and mail to your legislators:
