Title: Should Gosnell and other Abortionists Suffer Financially?
Topic: Republicans Protecting Abortionists
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

When abortionists harm their patients, they do not fear having to pay monetary damages. Why?

One Federal Judge has stated: “…a better name for many state [med-mal] caps on civil damages and any federal cap, would be ‘The Dr. Gosnell Abortion Butchers Civil Protection Act’”.

Abortionists in Texas and other states do not fear being sued for medical malpractice if they harm a patient. Why? Our medical-malpractice protection laws shield them from civil liability. This is just plain wrong. Listen in…

Title: Why Are Women Protecting Gosnell?
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

It’s no secret that medical malpractice is a big problem. But does it apply to abortion doctors? And just what does medical malpractice reform (MMR) protect?

MMR really hasn’t done anything to help patients by removing the “bad apples” from the tree. What MMR does is protect the doctor and the insurance company.

The topic of today is Dr. Gosnell, his clinic, and how he treated countless women and babies. Will he be held accountable for his actions?

Log on to www.7thamendmentadvocate.org  for more on this and other issues involving our right to a trial by jury.

Title: Our Constitutional Rights are Being Stripped Away
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

Part 1 of 3

Crony Capitalists never quit trying to entice federal officials into giving them special access and favors. What they can’t achieve in the market place, they attempt to buy in DC.

Furthermore, CC’s have been moving to shut out millions of Americans from exercising their 7th Amendment Right over bad products or services. All based on one tiny, rarely read paragraph in consumer contracts.

Will the day soon come when there will be a sign on every grocery store saying that purchasing food there constitutes an agreement to not sue it for spoiled, poorly stored food that makes us sick?

The CC’s definitely have an agenda. And that’s to get your money. But trying to get theirs is an entirely different story!

There are no due process standards, no guarantees that the applicable laws will be upheld, and no public records of the proceedings.

To protect themselves, big businesses are forcing consumers into arbitration thru the use of tiny print buried inside contracts and purchase agreements.

Our 7th Amendment right to a jury trial is vanishing before our very eyes thanks in large part to an increased reliance upon alternate dispute resolutions and mandatory arbitration.

Title: Jury Should Determine Virginia Tech Shooting Damages, Not Judges
Topic: Right to a Trial by Jury
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

Part 1 of 3

I think we can all agree that there are some pretty frivolous, and silly, lawsuits. But why should people who really have a liable lawsuit be punished because of a handful of greedy people? They shouldn’t be!

So, why are states handicapping jurors in the amount of damages they can award? And just who is pushing for the limits? The answer just might surprise you.

Topic: Right to a Trial by Jury
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

The 7th Amendment to the US constitution gives American citizens the right to a trial by a jury. People can also choose to leave their fate in the hands of just one judge or a panel of judges. But sometimes this is a baaaaaaaaad idea.

This right is slowly being stripped from the American public and most people don’t even realize it’s happening - and some are actually happy! Thanks to a few greedy, money-hungry lawyers, all lawyers have been given a bad rap.

But what if your spouse, child, or parent were seriously hurt or killed due to the negligence of a second party? Wouldn’t you want to get a fair amount for their suffering or death? Some people don’t deserve $5 million. But some people do.

James Madison, Founding Father, described the right to a trial by a jury in civil cases “as essential to secure the liberty of the people as any one of the pre-existent rights of nature”.

James Mason, another Founding Father, refused to even the sign Constitution until the 7th Amendment was added.

The Founding Fathers understood the importance of people’s right to a trial by a jury. Let’s defend that right!

Too many politicians pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they want to obey and follow. Is the 2nd Amendment really outdated and in need of a change? What about the 7th Amendment, which is the right to a trial by jury? Too many regulations and caps have been placed upon the 7th Amendment. Is the same going to happen to the 2nd Amendment?

Help us understand the Constitution when it comes to police powers, and where did our founding fathers want police powers to be most effective?

Why do you in your defense for states rights go to his opinion and quote him in that federal medical tort reform laws would violate police powers?

How is it that there are some in the legal community now preparing for a battle against the Republican establishment in wanting to usurp state rights and control medical malpractice awards and the civil suits?

Why would a Doctor and US Senator Tom Coburn oppose federal medical tort reform laws? Why would a former Judge and now US Congressman Ted Poe likewise oppose federal medical tort reform laws?

Will “Greed” rule if citizens lose the right to a trial by jury?

Our Founding Fathers had released the U.S. Constitution and were awaiting ratification by the colonies or states. Five of the 11 ratifying state conventions did so with suggested amendments attached. Two states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, determined to stay out of the union until a bill of right was proposed. Was state sovereignty the main issue? I.e. limited the power of the new federal government?

Let’s look at the Bill of Rights - The First 10 Amendments to our Constitution:
a. The Fourth Amendment regulated judicially-issued warrants
b. The Fifth barred double jeopardy
c. The Sixth assured a trial by jury in criminal cases
d. The Seventh prescribed a jury trial in civil cases
e. The Ninth, little understood today, was to impair Congress from interfering with the independence of the state judiciary systems
f. And the Tenth Amendment reinforced that whatever was not given was reserved to the states.

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were to protect the exclusive rights of each state, including the integrity of the state courts.

They gave enumerated powers to the Federal Govermnet and reserved everything else for the individual states. They thought the the individual states had the right to control indivividual mandates especially the Healthcare mandates, that was until - Obamnacare.

Up until OBamnacare the states have joined together against ObamnaCare it was kept separate. And furthermore, all groups that argue against Obmanacare they should also dissapprove State Medical Tort Reform. If we oppose Obamnacare, then we should not shield big businees's losses from Medical Reform.

Texans were promised that if they capped noneconomic damages in medical malpractice awards, they would see a reduction in their health insurance costs and that overall healthcare costs in Texas would come down. Did these miracle reductions happen? Plan and simple: NO.

The Dallas Morning News recently reported that family and single health insurance premiums rose by 51 and 45 percent, respectively, roughly equal to the increase nationwide. But the injured patient basically lost their ability to hold the wrong doer responsible.

Side note: Karl Rove has been pushing tort reform for over thirty years. No wonder big business funds his activities and his candidates with piles and piles of money.

Andy Cochran shines light on to the fact that Americans have been lied to for years in an effort to close the court house doors to average Americans and to shield big business from corporate responsibility.  For more information log onto www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org

Title: What is more important - gun ownership or free speech? What about the right to a trial by jury?
Topic: The Principal Author of Our US Constitution and Bill of Rights: James Madison
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

What about the 6th and 7th Amendments: the right to a trial by Jury? James Madison was our Fourth President and America recently celebrated his 260th birthday. As the principal author of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, how important is the 1st Amendment, the 2nd Amendment and the 10th Amendment which conservatives and tea party activists cling to so stridently? What about the 3rd through 9th Amendments, are they less important? More information can be found at www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org.

Title: Big Business and the Chamber of Commerce demand that Congress stop frivolous lawsuits. But are Judges calling for Congressional Action?
Topic: Frivolous Lawsuits
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

It’s hypocritical for House Republicans to complain about “an overreaching judiciary” that thwarts the will of the people and overturns their votes and their values, and then turns around and overturns standards for judicial decisions. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too! House Republicans pledged “to honor the Constitution as constructed by its framers and honor the original intent of those precepts”. Now, House Republicans are focused on dishonoring the Founders and the independence of the Judiciary. For more, log onto www.7thamendmentadvocate.org.

Title: Special Thanks to Congressman Tim Murphy
Topic: Say Thank You to an Elected Officials
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

We often ask our elected officials to vote this way or that way. But how often do we simply call them to say, “Thank You!” Congressman Tim Murphy, representing the 18th District in Pennsylvania, has been fighting extra hard for the little guy, the senior citizen, the average American. Our elected officials often receive calls asking them to vote one way or another. But how often do they receive a “Thank You” call for just doing a great job.

Let’s all call Congressman’s Tim Murphy’s office and just tell him “Thank you for fighting for the little guy, the senior citizen and the average American.” You can use the capitol switchboard number at (202) 225.3121 and ask for Congressman Tim Murphy.

Title: Is Tort Reform Really That Important?
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

What Ronald Reagan Really Said About Tort Reform.     Many people revere Ronald Reagan as the greatest president in modern history; so it may come as a surprise to you that Reagan never - not even once - proposed tort reform in any of his eight State of the Union (SOTU) addresses. Reagan wasn’t interested in limiting civil rights. In fact, Andy Cochran only found one reference to any type of tort reform mentioned by Reagan - in a 1986 speech at the Chamber of Commerce.

Segment 2 of 2

Warts and All – America Is Still the Best. What Makes US Great? Our civil and criminal justice system stands heads and shoulders above most other countries.
