A few weeks ago, we got to participate in one of the most important exercises in any free democracy – the general election. And while some of us might be elated, some obviously disappointed in some of the outcomes, at least we can take solace in the fact that voters asserted their constitutional right to be heard. But what happens when corporations and insurance companies use their economic might to slowly, and often secretly, erode your access to the justice system?
You may not realize it, but your right to a jury trial is under attack on a daily basis. From fine-print mandatory binding arbitration clauses to “tort reform” statutes that essentially immunize negligent conduct, your ability to have your day in court is slowly diminishing.
Take Justice Back, an initiative of the American Association for Justice, is dedicated to setting the record straight. By debunking the misleading propaganda of corporate America and setting forth the facts, Take Justice Back hopes to expose the all-out assault on your Seventh Amendment right.
How can you get involved? You can follow Take Justice Back on Facebook and Twitter to stay up-to-date on the latest news. You can also contact your State Senator and State Representative and tell them to put the rights of people before corporate interests.
Let’s work together to protect our rights from big businesses and insurance companies!
