I am student at Montevallo High school and as part of our school curriculum we take a semester long government course. Within this course we break down the structure of our federal government and how certain policies can affect us. Recently I have learned of the bill H.R. 2142, also known as the Interdict Act, that deals with drug screenings at our nation's borders As a concerned citizen I urge you to pass H.R.2142. It deals with the issues of drugs being imported into the united states. With this new bill funds would be put towards the CBP officers with supplying them with all means necessary to increase their drug screenings to look for the drugs that are flooding into the unites states. With these new policies in place it will limit the

    Smarter Sentencing

    I am writing this letter requesting you vote in favor of the Smarter Sentencing Act. Sentences regarding possession and trafficking of controlled substances are due for much needed review. Taxpayers spend several thousand dollars to hold a single inmate in prison for a year, and there are thousands of individuals currently incarcerated for such offenses. By essentially halving the minimum sentence of these crimes the billions of taxpayer dollars saved can be applied elsewhere.…

    Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and your service to our state and nation. I am a nurse and work every day to help people be well physically and mentally and I can’t help but notice the destructive nature of opioid addiction touching all socio-economic levels of society.

    Opioid Crisis Research Paper

    My name is Megan Johnston and I am a registered nurse at a local hospital with nine years of critical care experience. During my career at the bedside, I have watched numerous parents, children, and other family members have to make the difficult decision to take their loved one off of life support and watch them die after an opioid drug overdose. To watch how devastating this is for patients and their loved ones is both heart wrenching and disturbing to me as a healthcare professional. The opioid crisis began to spiral in the 1990s when pharmaceutical companies told providers and prescribers that patients would not likely become addicted to opioid pain relievers, and therefore they were prescribed more frequently, which subsequently led to…

    Drug Law: The House I Live In

    I never knew that the drug law was so severe on especially on black people until I watched this document “ The House I Live In”. It is true that the drug is a vicious cycle that needs to be restricted. In my opinion I think this is exactly what the government under Reagan, Bush, and Clinton’s administration were trying. However, it seems like despite their effort to put an end on the drug abuse they failed to reach their goals. The tougher the law has gotten on drug abuse, the consummation increase.…

    America has had an ongoing problem with drug epidemics, we are currently in the middle of a country-wide heroin epidemic. To slow or stop the epidemic we need to look back on our past drug epidemics, specifically the cocaine epidemic, for it is relatively modern. During the cocaine epidemic, America and the people in it did some things well, but also a lot of things bad. The only way for us to move forward is to look back and learn. We need to check ourselves right now for what we have already done in the epidemic and make sure we are not making the same mistakes.…

    Argument Against House Bill 2

    House Bill 2 was a law passed that bans citizens of North Carolina from using public bathrooms that do not match the sex on their birth certificate. The law went into effect eleven hours after being signed by Governor Pat McCrory, with no public input. Many people were affected throughout the United States due to this decision. This law is unfair to the LGBT community. Although, there are five different parts to HB2, my main focus is on part one which deals with bathroom usage based on biological sex.…

    War On Drugs And Immigration Issues Essay

    These two issues are not mutually exclusive but better yet they have a sort of cause an effect relationship. The efforts made by the Mexican government to fight the war on drugs isn 't enough, it will take co-operational effort between the United States and Mexico to really have a fighting chance. The war on drugs weighs heavy on America as the nation is compiled to do whatever it can to reduce the supply of drugs into the States and the immigrant population as well. According to Walser, The American Civil Liberties Union has taken up the immigration fight from a humanitarian perspective among to minimize the violence and human trafficking associated with illegal immigration (Walser,2011). However,a more effective way to combat the whole issue would be by dividing up efforts and opening up lines of communication and co-operations between the United States and Mexico and Central America.…

    Argumentative Essay On Legalizing Drugs

    The argument on whether drugs should be legalized has been going on for so long now. Some people say as an Americans we have the right to choose whether we want to do drugs or not. It is really hard to control the consumption of drugs, because people are going to do them whether they are legal or illegal. Other people say that the laws that are being enforced now are good to control drugs. “There will also be more unpublicized fatal and maiming crashes, more job accidents, more child neglect, more of everything associated with substance abuse”(M. Kendrecke).…

    Argumentative Essay On The War On Drugs

    The drug market is stronger than ever, yet the drug war has been in full force for several decades. The effects here in the United States, are quite similar to the effects internationally, but there are many solutions other than a drug war, to stop the use of drugs. Nobel laureate and economist Milton Friedman remarked on the issue, “However much harm drugs do to those who use them…seeking to prohibit their use does even more harm both to users of drugs and to the rest of us…Legalizing drugs would simultaneously reduce the amount of crime and improve law enforcement. It is hard to conceive of any other single measure that would accomplish so much to promote law and order” (Donohue 146). Friedman is right.…
