I support this bill and hope it goes through soon. I'm being eaten alive in federal court by a large corporation and their attorney. It also needs to be considered how large a claim can be to be removed from state court to federal court. It seems to me that the federal court should be for those claims over $1 million in damages. I am a small business and my claim was originally for $150,000 and the defendant removed the case to federal court to make it financially difficult for me. They are also not supplying, and withholding, information in a timely manner. - Received in the House.02/28/2008
