Did you know that an estimated 92% of low-income Americans are unable to find legal assistance for civil matters? That means that the statute of limitations runs out, and these people are left without justice. This is pretty odd considering that within the Pledge of Allegiance literally states that we guarantee “liberty and justice for all”. Our entire nation is founded on that principle, however our legal system is so complex and difficult to access we need professionals to help just to have a snowball’s chance for acquiring justice. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The People are the rightful masters of the Courts — not to overthrow the people who uphold the constitution – but to overthrow the people who pervert it.” So how can we be the “rightful masters” when the system is so complex we don’t even know how to use it??
Both our national and state Justice Accessibility Act we propose could remedy this issue. Our national reforms are listed below. For reforms we propose for the State of Iowa , see here.
Because it may be awhile before we’re able to get these reforms passed, Wild Willpower is currently in the process of mapping our current legal system into a self-help website: www.ReUniteTheStates.org.
