Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act of 2005 H.R. 554
Passed Yeas. Rep. 226 Dem. 89
Noes. Rep. 0 Dem. 114
Bill to prevent lawsuits against McDonalds and others by obese people who need someone to blame and also to support a trial lawyer who collects most of the proceeds. Such bills relating to tort reform are generally supported by Republicans and rejected by Democrats, almost by party line. The simple reason for this is that the Trial Lawyers Association of America donate 95% of their PAC money to the Democratic Party. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
