Hundreds
Rally to End Lawsuit Abuse Florida
CSE's Issues 2000 creates momentum for tort reform CSE brought more than 400 stade-wide CSE activists to Orlando, Florida
this weekend (July 15 & July 16) to learn more about ending lawsuit
abuse and what’s at stake in the upcoming elections when they took part in
Florida CSE’s Issues Forum 2000 & Campaign Issue Intervention. Not only did Sharkman make the trip to meet our activists and talk with
them about ending lawsuit abuse, other champions of tort reform took time
from their weekends to participate as well. Those who addressed the crowd
on the impact of lawsuit abuse included: Fred Brummer, State
Representative; Bill McCollum, US Representative (R-8th-Orlando); Tom
Feeney, Speaker-designate, Florida State House; Victor Schwartz, Senior
Partner, Crowell & Moring, LLP. These speakers briefed CSE activists
on trial lawyer efforts at the state, federal, and judicial levels and how
they, as grassroots citizens, can make a difference in this issue. CSE staffers educated and briefed activists about active federal bills
including the Class Action Fairness Act and the Litigation Fairness Act on
Saturday. As a result, activists sent nearly 150 letters urging Senator
Bob Graham to support the Class Action Fairness Act. Saturday also
provided a great deal of fun for CSE’s activists. Regis Cheatum, of Dewey,
Cheatum, and Howe, engaged five participants in the CSE game show, “Who
Wants to be a Trial Lawyer Billionaire?” Following the issue forums, participants learned how to inject CSE
issues in the upcoming elections. Our paying activists gave up
their weekend to participate and learn more about how to end lawsuit
abuse. This conference solidified CSE as a grassroots powerhouse that elected
officials and candidates need to respect. Unlike any other organization, CSE drew hundreds of people willing to
exchange their weekend and money for the opportunity to learn about ending
lawsuit abuse and how to make a difference fighting the deep pockets of
the trial lawyers.
