¶ … Senator Hall,
I hope that this letter finds you in good health as you continue to serve the state and the nation at large. The main purpose of this letter is to highlight the importance of the proposed S 821 bill, otherwise referred to as Brump Donald bill in Texas state. The Bill proposes a 1 cent tax on all foods that contain added salt being sold in stores and other outlets. I write in absolute support of the S 821 bill since once the bill goes through and is implemented, it is apparent that al the foods that contain added salts like processed cheese, processed meats, caned vegetables, chicken broth and soy sauce among others will significantly increase in price. The funds that shall be raised from the 1 cent increase will be channeled towards helping in the prevention programs dealing with cardiovascular diseases and childhood obesity. As an elder brother who has several siblings and younger relatives, I would like see them grow up not only healthy bit also aware of the dangers of added salt hence being able to educate other children of their class and social groups. This bill is the best tool that there is to make this dream possible for the younger generation.
The salt intake has been associated with cardiovascular diseases, obesity especially among the children as well as hypertension. The intake of salt in the processed foods is known to increase thirst and most children will resolve to sweetened soft drinks in order to quench the thirst. This increases the intake of calories which are responsible for childhood obesity, hypertension and possible stroke if the condition is not managed. The resulting health...
The passing of this bill will help raise funds that will be used to initiate informative intervention measures particularly among children and also persuade people to make healthier choices by buying salt free products since the foods with added salt will be relatively more expensive than they are now.
This S 821 bill is very timely to the state of Texas as it will help curb the rising number of children who suffer obesity and other cardiovascular diseases. Every support that it will get will be appreciated as that will be s step towards helping children across Texas and serve as an example to other states.
Sincerely

Although, the bills have not yet been passed, and so there is no loan forgiveness availablility. Representatives H.R. 2073 have said "I am writing/calling to ask the Representative to cosponsor H.R. 2073, the "Child Health Care Crisis Relief Act of 2007." This bill will grant much-needed loan forgiveness and scholarships to mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents. America's youth need proper mental health care, and H.R. 2073
This demonstrates the personal nature of the quest that Obama had for achieving healthcare reform in this country, ensuring that everyone had reliable access to quality care (Defrank 2010). The author cites many individuals and incidents that were likely influential in shaping Obama's vision regarding healthcare reform, but does not demonstrate a causal or substantiated link between these specific identified influences and Obama's actual decisions. This makes his claims
Stimulus Bill Political Communication Political Communication during the Stimulus Bill Debate In times of economic uncertainty and national emergency, the government has the capacity to make decisions that it believes will aid the country in its time of need. Such a time of need occurred in 2009 when the country continued to face an existence of dire economic circumstances involving national cash-flow and jobs. In order to set economic recovery into motion,
It is also argued that the insurance mandate is not constitutional since the government does not have the right to tell the United States citizens what products to purchase, even when these products are beneficial for them, and even less when the socio-economic impact of purchasing the respective items is questionable (Savage, 2009).

LEGALIZING PROSTITUTION IN THE U.S.A. The topic I have chosen to discuss is the legalization of prostitution in the United States of America. By prostitution, I refer to an act where money is exchanged for rendering sexual services. Presently, 49 states out of 50 in the United States have banned prostitution withonly some forms of it allowed in a few areas of Nevada. This is not the case in all developed
