We all need to protect our civil justice system or there is simply no reason to have it at all. Below is a short description of the film:
HOT COFFEE examines the dangers of so-called “tort reform” and its threat to our civil justice system. Using the now-infamous legal battle over a spilled cup of McDonald’s coffee as a springboard, the film follows four people, including McDonald’s plaintiff Stella Liebeck, whose lives have been affected by their inability to access … Continue Reading >

The kids are out of school, the sun is shining – it’s time to jump in the car and drive away from here! AAA has a great website devoted to suggestions and advice on how to keep your family safe on the road this summer, and always. Many car accidents (car crashes) are caused, at least … Continue Reading >
If you are anything like me, and we are all alike in some ways, you wake up proud to be an American – thankful to have rights that many don’t have in other countries. When our constitutional rights are attacked we, as Americans, fight for our rights. Think about it – what happens when we hear that our constitutional right to bear arms (2nd amendmend) is under attack? We fight back! What happens when we hear that our search and … Continue Reading >

Today, my three year old daughter was part of a neat experience at her preschool. All of the kids were allowed to bring their bikes and helmets to school.

The recent documentary, “Hot Coffee” by Susan Saladoff has officially been released and is being shown on HBO starting June 27th. I encourage everyone to watch this movie. The movie reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the woman who spilled McDonald’s coffee on herself and was crucified in the media. Big businesses jumped on this case and started a media frenzy. The movie provides incredible insight into who started this drama and why. More importantly, it tells Stella’s realy … Continue Reading >

Recently, I heard from a man who was going through a tough and unfair process with his domestic partner. His partner does, and has for a long time, work at a grocery store chain. This store will not permit these two kind gentlemen health insurance rights – despite the new civil union law. You would know the name if you recognize it. They live in Missouri but this is a chain that has locations in Illinois. Due to the Illinois … Continue Reading >
Throughout my second day of volunteering at The Bridge, I was even more moved. As of today, all of the Joplin residents are accounted for – I think that is incredible. As I walked around through the destruction trying to get people to take bug spray and suntan lotion from me, people refused. They were too focused on their task at hand despite their sunburnt and irritated skin. I witnessed on reunion – a man walked into The Bridge and … Continue Reading >
