Dear Senator ______:
I urge you to oppose the
so-called “Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution” Act. If this bill
becomes law, it will not adequately compensate the innocent victims of
asbestos poisoning.
For decades, asbestos
companies knew their product was deadly, but they kept it a secret,
killing workers and their families, as well as the consumers of their
products.
If this bill becomes law,
it would delay compensation for many innocent victims of asbestos
poisoning and provide NO compensation for other seriously ill victims. In
addition, the “one-size-fits-all” provisions of the bill are unfair to may
victims, effectively preventing them from receiving life-saving medical
care for their serious illnesses.
People who already have
promised settlements or are awaiting their court dates would be forced to
start over again in the trust fund – AFTER waiting as long as two years
while the fund gets started.
Again, I urge you to
oppose the FAIR Act and protect the rights of the innocent victims of
asbestos poisoning.
Sincerely,
[your
name]
