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.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

Wednesday, December 12 2012

Actress Kirstie Alley is being sued for reportedly lying about how she lost 100 pounds.

California resident Marina Abramyan has filed a class action lawsuit against 61-year-old Alley and the weight loss program she helped develop, Organic Liaison.  Abramyan contends that Alley did not lose the weight using the program, rather the weight came off through grueling dance practices leading up to Alley's appearance on "Dancing with the Stars" and by following a strict low calorie diet.

"In peddling the Organic Liaison Program, Ms. Alley attributes her weight loss to the program, but in reality, Ms. Alley's weight loss is due to nothing more than the tried and true concept of diet and exercise," Abramyan states in her complaint. "It is commonly known, and indeed a scientific fact, that if you are increasing exercise while decreasing caloric intake, you will lose weight. There is no magic pill or supplement that causes weight loss."

Alley credits her weight loss to Organic Liaison, which alleges to help clients shed weight by "liaising" dieters from their daily eating habits to a healthier organic diet.  Alley is the chief spokeswoman for the program

"I can assure you that if you follow this program, you'll get healthier, lose weight, and not be 'annoyingly' hungry," Alley claims in her QVC promotion.

Abramyan, who did not lose any weight on the program, claims the products "are nothing more than run-of-the-mill fiber and calcium supplements," according to news reports. Abramyan claims Alley is guilty of false advertising.
