The Time is NOW For LEGAL REFORM!

By Al Jon Tarman

Candidate for Republican Party County Committee; County of Santa Barbara; Supervisorial District 2

This information is provided by the candidate
We can help working people and business people, big and small by enacting LEGAL REFORM NOW!
President Bush was able to pass tort reform in Texas. He has promised to do the same in the US Congress but he will need our mighty help to do it! How does legal reform affect you? In just about every way! Every time a jury gives out an outrageous sum to professional suers, someone else pays! That someone is you! Have you checked your insurance rates lately? It's time to stop the Milking of our total GNP by litigious parties; including attornies and their vexatious clients. The Republican Party is the natural home of small businessmen for this very reason. 80% of all business in the US is small business! Are you having a hard time finding a great old fashioned doctor? That's because many are leaving the profession because of outrageous malpractice insurance costs. Is your prescription medicine cost too high? That's because half the cost of the pill goes for liability insurance. Support Republicans who support legal reform!
