Subj: Voter anger and lawsuit abuse

Dear _______,

I am following up on earlier emailing I did.

Voters are angry in this election.

They are angry about an unaccountable federal government that has run up out of control deficits and national debt, that bailed out Wall Street with sweetheart deals and shortchanged Main Street, and that passed a health care law monstrosity a majority of the voters do not want. Voters are angry about their state and local governments that have gotten themselves in financial straits, with a main contributing factor being outlandish pension and medical retirement benefits promised to public employees to get their votes and their unions' support.

Another thing that voters can be angry about is the way the legal system is exploited by lawyers to enrich themselves to the detriment of society, enabled by judges and lawmakers who don't take steps to stop the lawsuit abuse.

This exploitation of the legal system is counterproductive to the nation's economic recovery. It engenders contempt for the law and it undermines business ethics. Justice is traduced in effectuating large transfers among non-wrongdoing parties (in order to provide lawyers large fees) and in not holding wrongdoing persons accountable.

At the beginning of this year I sent this email about plaintiffs' lawyers to over four hundred announced candidates for the US House of Representatives and Senate. Since then I have done further election campaigning that you may read about here.

As the election campaign enters its final month, I am continuing my efforts to get candidates to state their positions on lawsuit abuse for the benefit of the voters. I hope your campaign has done that or will do that before election day.

Thank you.

Subj: Re: Forbes article on BP fund, fraud and big legal bills


Dear _______,

Thank you for replying to me.

You might consider advocating that BP Fund administrator Feinberg could save money for the Fund by structuring the program so that all legal work (including on behalf of claimants) is done by lawyers who are hired on a salaried basis. Not only would this greatly reduce the diversion of the Fund to plaintiffs' lawyers, it would also probably result in a fairer treatment of "little guy" claimants.

For your information, I have posted a comment on The Wall Street Journal making such a proposal. My comment appears at these two links:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704122904575315283350034668.html?mg=com-wsj#articleTabs%3Dcomments

This comment I posted on The Wall Street Journal reads as follows:

The BP Fund offers an excellent opportunity to attack the problem of growing
lawyer unemployment and also to save money for the Fund. If history
is any guide, total attorneys' fees that can be expected to be paid from
the BP Fund are going to be upwards of $5 billion. Unemployed lawyers
should consider applying to the Fund administrator Kenneth Feinberg for
jobs. The job applicants should make the argument to Mr. Feinberg
that those total legal costs could be greatly reduced, maybe by 80%,
if he structured the program so that all legal work was done by lawyers who are
compensated on a salary basis. The applicants should express willingness
to work for, say, $100,000 per year. An 80% reduction of a $5
billion legal cost down to $1 billion would allow the hiring of 2500 attorneys
for four years at annual salaries of $100,000. That would make a dent in
the lawyer unemployment problem. At the same time, it should provide
adequate manpower to do the needed legal work (including on behalf of
claimants) in the administering and making awards from the $20 billion
Fund and save the Fund $4 billion for use in making more awards to persons
who have been harmed by the oil disaster.

I hope you decide to advocate such an idea yourself in your campaign.

Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Letters to editor, etc.

[I sent letters to the editor and did media website and blog postings in the form of the below composition on the subject of the 2010 elections and the oil disaster in the Gulf.]


Subj: 2010 elections and Gulf of Mexico oil disaster

Dear ______,

The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is going to have devastating consequences for years to come.

We Alabamians can wish we did not have to think about them.

We have to think about them, however.

There has already begun the work of government, charity and the law to deal with what has happened in the Gulf.

Candidates in this year's elections have reacted and have enunciated campaign positions concerning whether offshore drilling should be limited, whether increased regulation of oil industry operations is needed, and whether a federal law that limits the liability of oil companies should be changed.

Exercising my citizen's rights, I have had email correspondence with many candidates (in Alabama and outside of Alabama) about the oil disaster. In this correspondence, I advocated that, regardless of what the policy outcomes are regarding offshore drilling, regulation of the oil industry, and the federal law limiting liability, there is, in my view, one thing that is very wrong related to the oil disaster for which Congress is responsible.

I think it is very wrong that hundreds of millions or billions of dollars is going to be paid to plaintiffs' lawyers (and defense lawyers) related to the determination and finalization of BP's liability and to whom the liability is owing.

I don't think it should cost more than $50,000,000 to determine the amount of the liability and to whom it is owed. Hundreds of millions or billions of dollars should not have to be paid to lawyers for their role, and most of those amounts would be much better spent by society as part of the compensation paid to persons who suffer losses from the oil disaster. The moneys could also be better spent by not being paid at all and being available for use by BP and other companies who had the misfortune of contributing to the happening of the accident, in order that those parties can continue their legitimate business of producing oil for the benefit of the county, providing jobs, and paying dividends to hundreds of thousands of stockholders, big and small, including retirement plans, who are dependent on and deserving of financial returns from their investments.

Recovery from the oil disaster is going to be very onerous. I hope the candidates and the public will debate in the 2010 elections whether plaintiffs' lawyers should get paid hundreds of millions or billions of dollars as a result, or whether there is better use for the money in how our society recovers.

Sincerely,

Rob Shattuck

Replies of candidates to oil disaster email

I received many replies to my email to Congressional candidates about the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. After I collected the replies, I sent the below form of email to the Congressional candidates or their staff members who had replied to me:

From: RDShatt@aol.com
To:

Subj: Re: Campaign question for you about Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe: ...


Dear _____,

Thank you for your below reply to my email.

This election year is infused with anger and resentment against Congress. There is growing sentiment that the country's elected lawmakers in Washington have failed the American society.

I agree with that view, and I would like as many incumbents as possible to be thrown out of office and for someone else to be given the opportunity to do a better job for the country.

Voters who are angry with Congress have a variety of reasons.

My main reason is that I think our lawmakers are corrupt in being more interested in preserving themselves and their perks in office, rather than doing what is right for the country.

One example is the way Congress allowed the plaintiffs' lawyers to keep medical malpractice reform out of the health care law that was adopted earlier this year. Our lawmakers did not do right for the country there.

I emailed you and other Congressional candidates about the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster to raise another way our lawmakers do not do right by the country.

There is no question that the country, through non-corrupted lawmakers, needs to lay out rules in advance that reflect legitimate economic and social policy trade offs concerning regulatory oversight of oil industry operations and also concerning liability in the case of accidents. These rules could reasonably include no limitation of liability or they could provide for a limitation of liability. If Congress makea a policy decision in favor of the latter, Congress may then need to make a determination whether society as whole, through the use of tax revenues, should give financial aid to victims of the Gulf oil disaster that are not compensated because of a liability limitation.

Further, to the extent there will be liability for an accident, the country needs to have mechanisms, set up by non-corrupted lawmakers, for determining details of the liability under the law, including its amount and to whom the liability is owed.

In writing my email to you and other Congressional candidates, I had this question in mind: How much should it cost the country to determine the details of the liability in the Gulf oil catastrophe. Should it cost $500,000,000 to determine the details of that liability, or one billion dollars, or two billion dollars, or more?

I frankly don't think it should cost more than $50,000,000 to determine the details of the liability in the oil catastrophe in the Gulf.

I think a corrupt failure of our Congress is that it will allow hundreds of millions, or billions, of dollars to be paid to plaintiffs' lawyers (and defense lawyers) in the determination of the details of the oil disaster liability. Those moneys would be much better spent by society as part of the compensation paid to persons who suffer significant losses from the disaster. The moneys could also be better spent by not being paid at all and being available for use by BP and other parties who had the misfortune of being a cause of the accident, in order that those parties can continue their legitimate business of producing oil for the benefit of the county, providing jobs, and paying dividends to hundreds of thousands of stockholders, big and small, including retirement plans, who are dependent on and deserving of financial returns from their investments.

The lawyers are not deserving of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars being paid to them growing out of the Gulf oil catastrophe, but our Congress corruptly allows such things to happen.

There are many reasons for thinking the American society is ill served by its elected lawmakers in Washington and for wanting to throw incumbents out of office and giving others an opportunity to do a better job for the country.

This email indicates my reasons, and I hope tens of millions of other Americans will also act on their reasons for voting out incumbents in November.

Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

The article also reports that Democratic Senators introduced legislation to raise the limit to $10,000,000,000.

Do you agree with the existing federal law? Do you think the limit should be raised?

Suggested campaign message

[Below is an introductory campaign message I am trying to draft for consideration by candidates in the 2010 elections who are interested in the same.]

During the past year and a half, the country has been trying to understand what clobbered our economy and financial system and we are trying to battle our way back to better economic health and prosperity.

Significant sectors of the economy have been brought under close scrutiny by the government and public, and the government is in the process of revamping many of the rules and imposing new controls and limitations to try to solve the country's problems.

Some areas and sectors have not been given scrutiny that is needed, or have been looked at but gotten a pass. As part of my campaign I want to press on those.

If the country thinks that management of banks needs to suffer compensation limitations to help fix the economy, why has there been a failure in the monumental health care reform bills to include medical malpractice reform to bring help bring down costs and help the economy that way? I think a pass is being given there that should not be given.

Indeed, I believe the whole area of tort reform and class action litigation has new need for heightened scrutiny and legislative and judicial action to lessen adverse effects that flow from that domain and that impair the country in its battle to regain better economic health and prosperity.

I am going to develop and put in my campaign platform several specific proposals and ideas.

Subj: Plaintiffs' lawyers impede economic recovery

Dear ____________,

I am an Alabama resident.

I think plaintiffs' lawyers impede the country's economic recovery. I also think they undermine business ethics. They particularly stand in the way of sensible medical malpractice reform as a way to lower the nation's health care costs.

I have a blog How To Combat Plaintiffs' Lawyers where I record my efforts to communicate with lawmakers, judges, attorney generals and academics, among others, about how I believe plaintiffs' lawyers ill serve societal interests.

I receive no remuneration for any of my activities. I am not a member of any tort reform organization, chamber of commerce, or any other organization that has an interest in opposing plaintiffs' lawyers.

Congress is debating more stimulus, health care reform, and other governmental action to get our nation's economy back on track, and the country is moving toward the 2010 elections that will be a referendum on how the current Congress performs about these important domestic issues.

I hope you, as a United States Senator or Representative, or as a candidate for the Senate or the House of Representatives, will look at the contribution the plaintiffs' lawyers make to the country's economic difficulties and will consider, advocate and propose legislative action to lessen the problem of the plaintiffs' lawyers.

Thank you.

Dear __________,

I think that plaintiffs' lawyers and their activities are an impediment to economic recovery, are an obstacle to health care cost reduction, and undermine business ethics.

I am an Alabama resident who has objected in a class action lawsuit against Expedia, Inc. that is pending in the King County Superior Court. The past several days I have sent the below form of emails to county commissioners and to Superior Court judges in Washington State in which I am highly critical of the settlement agreement approved by the judge in the Expedia case and argue that action is needed to be taken against the plaintiffs' lawyers as a source of the country's health care cost problems and by reason of how they impair economic recovery, job creation and government revenue raising.

I am writing you this email for you to consider in your position as a high level elected official in Washington State and/or as candidate for the same, and to try to make the same an issue in the next election.

Subj: Email to ________ County Judges


Dear Commissioner _________,

I am a resident of the State of Alabama and I have sent the below email to your county's Superior Court judge(s) and other Washington State Superior Court judges.

Why am I bothering to tell you this?

Our country is struggling to get out of an extremely bad recession; our federal, state and local lawmakers are contemplating more job stimulus programs, finding ways to reduce health care costs, and other additional governmental action, to try get our economy back on track; further, governments are desperate for revenues to cover large budget shortfalls.

You have something in your backyard you should take a look at. You can begin to do so by reading the below email to the Superior Court judges. It is specifically about a $9,500,000 mindless waste of funds that one Washington State Superior Court judge has sanctioned (which waste of economic resources is significantly greater that the stated $9,500,000 amount), and that judges around the country are multiplying thousands of times over. These amounts go to line the pockets of persons (plaintiffs' lawyers) who use their resources to block sensible medical malpractice reform (and the health care cost reductions that can come from that) and who otherwise broadly propagate activities that are an indefensible tax and exaction on business that impedes the economic recovery and job creation, which in turn keeps your government from getting revenues it needs.

You may not be a federal or state lawmaker or a judge who can do something directly about the plaintiffs' lawyers but you are a local official who can be informed about the burdens they place on the economy, on business recovery, and on your government getting needed revenues. You are in a position to register your views with state legislators and judges and other local persons of influence with whom you come in contact.

I, as a citizen, am complaining strenuously against the attempted governmental takeover of health care that will increase health care costs and will impair economic recovery and also against the trillions of dollars of increased government spending and debilitating tax increases in the name of stimulus that have taken place or that are in the works. While I am complaining about those, I want to complain about why action is not being taken against the plaintiffs' lawyers as a source of the country's health care cost problems and how they impair economic recovery and job creation and government revenue raising.

I hope you agree with my views and will register your own accordingly.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Dear Judge Benton,

Plaintiffs' counsel has sent me your signed Order Awarding Attorneys' Fees, Costs and Incentive Awards in In re Expedia Taxes and Fees Litigation, in which you awarded the plaintiffs' counsel $9,587,096.11, which includes $412,903.89 in expenses.

In August I sent these two emails to you that your bailiff indicated were reviewed by you and would be made part of the file: http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2009/08/email-to-judge-benton.html and http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2009/08/second-email-to-judge-benton.html .

I have read your order and the justification you set out for the attorneys' fees.

With all due respect, your Honor, I consider your order to be a mindless action based on either mindless actions of other judges previously (I have not studied the cases you cite so I cannot say whether they were mindless as well) or, if the actions of the other judges were not mindless, you failed to see why you were being mindless in how you followed those precedents in the Expedia litigation.

I have been disseminating this citizen's letter to judges and feel the Expedia litigation in the King County Superior Court is an appropriate opportunity for disseminating my citizen's letter to judges at other Superior Courts in Washington State. I see from the Washington courts website that there are email addresses for emailing to judges at other Superior Courts, and I plan to send to them copies of this email to you.

I would like further to call this matter to the attention of Washington State state legislators, such as the judiciary committees. While I am not a citizen of Washington State, class action litigation such as the Expedia case has an effect nationally on consumers and investors, and I believe it should be permissible for out of state citizens to point that out to other state legislatures.
