The text is a response from man Dick Armey to a supporter of liability law reform. Armey agrees with the need for reform due to the excessive costs imposed by current laws. He has introduced a bill, H.R. 3375, that aims to reduce consumer prices by requiring lawsuits to be brought in the state where the product was purchased. The bill also aims to prevent frivolous lawsuits and award punitive damages to a special fund for crime victims. Armey acknowledges concerns about federal overreach and assures that his bill only applies in cases where plaintiffs and defendants reside in different states.
