Whose Constitutional & monetary interests does Senator Eddie Joe Williams (R-Cabot) SJR5 represent—his constituents or the Arkansas Medical Assoc. (AMA), corporate Arkansas, insurance companies, lobbyists, and politicians? 

Answer: not his constituents and the rest of Arkansas citizens. What reward does Senator Williams and his ilk expect for their unconstitutional and arrogant sell-outs.  The Senator and some members of the legislature are more than willing to trample on the 7th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, e.g. profit is their motive in one form or another and denies the right of citizens to receive full benefit of a jury trial by their peers.

 Government intervention will allow politicians, big corporations, insurance companies and the AMA to make decisions regarding citizens’ life and limb.  Williams and his accomplices’ position on the matter of the 7th Amendment is indefensible.  Senator Williams would have you believe that he & the aforementioned groups are better qualified to determine the value of your life and limb as opposed to the time-honored citizen jury trial.

 What Senator Williams and his acolytes are proposing is nothing more than a back alley abortion by a gang of legislative thugs who are seeking some type of advancement and/or advantage. Believe me the rape they are proposing was not incubated in the Arkansas legislature.

Apparently Senator Eddie Joe Williams’s allegiances do not lie with his constituents and the citizens of Arkansas and lie squarely with money-slobbering entities.
Citizens, is it your wish that Sen. Williams and his power hungry accomplices tell you the value of a severed organ by a physician, the value of a lost eye in a construction accident, etc?

Just imagine what an unholy mess, accompanied the creation of another huge government bureaucracy (more Gov. Control), will result if Senator Eddie Joe Williams gets this bill passed. Think if you will what representatives of the AMA, their legal counsels, insurance companies, captains of industry and their counsels and scurrilous lobbies sitting in a room debating the worth of arms, legs, eyes, brain injuries, etc. of citizens, resulting from physicians errors, machine failures, car crashes, etc. regardless of circumstance.  Remember the above group has debated and set the value of your loss by a predetermined cost/figure for your life and limb and not by a jury of your peers.

What a sordid, scurrilous bunch that are pushing this travesty.  Each of you in league with Williams on SJR5 is a disgrace to society, humanity, and our republic. What a dastardly attack on citizen rights.

P.S. What legislators have a vested interest in SJR5, i.e. relationships with physicians, construction, insurance, or other self-serving entities?
