So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

A Hollywood star is suing (essentially everyone) for $55 million, claiming that her career as an actress has been ruined by her latest film appearance.

Paz De La Huerta played a nurse hell-bent on murdering cheating men in what some consider the worst movie of all time - "Nurse 3D." Now, De La Huerta claims an unscrupulous movie director and an ambulance chaser ruined her career.  According to news reports, De La Huerta says she suffered a spinal fracture when she was clipped by a speeding ambulance while shooting a scene in the movie. Plus, she alleges that the director hired a lousy actress to do voiceovers for some of her scenes, further jeopardizing her career. De La Paz wants the director to have to redub the movie with her voice.

De La Huerta has already collected over $70,000 in worker's compensation.
