Barbara Boxer
We have recently been assigned to write a letter to a congressmen on a currently used program that dates back to the New Deal, we needed to explain our views on the changes that should or shouldn’t be made to the program of our preference. The program I chose was the Federal Communications Commission, FCC, it focuses on providing reasonable communication regulation throughout the United States by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. My opinion on the FCC was positive, I believe it is a great program that will help increase communication in the U.S. for those who did not have access to it prior to being helped. With our technology advancing in speed and structure, it is hard to keep updated on the changes, for some it seems impossible to catch up with all the new innovations that are introduced daily. My letter was sent to Barbara Boxer, she is a democrat and the junior United States senator from California, the reason I chose her was because she was a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, which focuses on matters relating to the environment and infrastructure.

She may explain the advantages and disadvantages that come with the program being so effective in the everyday lives of Americans. On the contrary the response may be negative, she can say that the program is a waste of time and more prominent arrangements should be made. No matter the response I receive from the letter, I hope to hear an honest

    Periodically, as I skim newspaper articles on line or in the local papers for an article that peaks my interest. This week the article that peaked my attention was one wrote by Jennifer Rubio of the Washington Post titled “Trumps campaign turmoil suggests his greatest weakness”.

This is an article about lack of character, self-respect, weakness, self-actualization and the overall inability to become an example for the American citizens. This article is not just about the Presidential hopeful Mr. Trump, it’s about what is missing in the United States at this time.…
