Dear Congressman Royal,
I was reading the newspaper this morning and I happened to read the California government was approving the Good Samaritan Law. I would like for you to repeal this law.

The Good Samaritan Law isn't such a great idea to validate because it shouldn't be an obligation to help people in need. If an inexperienced person helped someone who was in dire need of attention, he or she might worsen the situation. The person helping could get sued or injure themselves. People should help others out of the goodness of their hearts. Citizens required to help people in need could get them selves in harms way. An example would be, say theres a bank robbery. If some bystander tries to help a fellow victim from getting shot, he or she might get shot as well. We should leave the helping other people to more professionals and let citizens help others if they feel compelled to.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you reconsider your decisions.
Very Respectfully,



Jed Vargas
