Re: June 12, 10:30 AM, DC Judicial Hearing Binding Arbitration for Consumers?

[Guest guest]

This is a very important issue because as we know, often people are not

entering into these contracts of their free will. For example, many people

have to rent or buy a place to live, or buy goods in stores. Certainly, they

can refuse to sign a contract and not enter into the purchase situation in

some situations, but other people HAVE to buy things.

They should STILL be protected like they USED TO BE..

We should not allow a few powerful special interests to turn back the clock

to the 1920s on consumer rights!
