5. Proposition 2 is in response to the 'puke effort to insulate corporate
malefactors and wrong-doers from paying for their irresponsibility through the civil justice system. The Republicans have crippled the right to jury trial by promoting arbitration as a replacement for your legal rights, by adopting one-size-fits-all damage caps which are so low that they are capped below the cost of bring a suit in place of your right to have a jury decide damages on a case-by-case basis according to the evidence, by passing laws which preclude Texans from suing out-of-state companies who have hurt Texans when these out-of-state products malfunction here in Texas, by taking the justice system out of the jury's hands and placing it into the hands of all-Republican Texas Supreme Court, etc.

Proposition 2 asks, shall we fight back against this transfer of power from the people to the most irresponsbile corporations or shall we take it lying down?
