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.

Recently, a baseball fan sued the New York Yankees after alleging that he was ejected from the stadium by police after he left his seat during the seventh-inning-stretch.

Bradford Campeau-Laurion says his rights were violated when he tried to pass a police officer to use the restroom during the singing of "God Bless America," a seventh-inning-stretch tradition at Yankee Stadium since September 11, 2001. Campeau-Laurion said he is proud to be an American but objects to being required to participate in displays of patriotism.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages against the Yankees and the city, whose police officers were paid by the Yankees to work the game. Police spokesman Paul J. Browne said the officers ejected Campeau-Laurion after they "observed a male cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol."

The Yankees had no comment.
