In a live Zoom event in conjunction with the American Museum of Tort Law, Ralph welcomes safety expert, Russell Kendzior, who runs the National Floor Safety Institute to discuss where, why, and how slip-and-falls happen, how to prevent them, the legitimacy of slip-and-fall lawsuits, and the role of the Consumer Product Safety Commission for a phenomenon that for older adults every year causes over 36,000 deaths and $50 billion in medical costs.

It says that artificial entities shall have no rights under the Constitution.
This means that an organization such as Move to Amend would no longer have rights under the Constitution if they were successful in getting the amendment passed and ratified.
It also says that the judiciary shall not construe the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First amendment.
This means that I, and every other citizen, would no longer have a constitutional right to make political contributions.

A better way to reverse Citizens Untied would be for Ralph to organize the couple of million liberal and conservative people in the 435 congressional districts he mentions in his recent blog to demand that politicians do not take big money contributions and enforce that demand with our votes.
If started now for 2024 this could begin to produce positive results as early as 2026.
Or we could spend twenty plus years wasting time and treasure to pass the We the People amendment and only succeed in losing our rights instead of using our rights.
Give us an idea how safe and/or environmentally healthy marmoleum flooring is, please.
