We are writing to you as an organization dedicated to working on behalf of the rights and interests of consumers to express our opposition to S. 5, the “Class Action Fairness Act.” We urge you to vote against S. 5 and to support strengthening amendments that better protect consumers. Class actions are an important and efficient legal tool for consumers to use in order to obtain redress from wrong doing. We are concerned that S. 5 will create barriers to a consumer’s efforts to obtain redress. S. 5 is unfair to consumers and we urge you to vote against it.
