Dear Congresswoman Johnson:
I am writing to you in concern to whether or not a Good Samaritan law should be implemented to our state government. Personally, I believe that there should not be a Good Samaritan law because acting as a Samaritan should be the choice of citizens.
A law forcing citizens to help a person in need is ridiculous. Being a Good Samaritan should be a decision based on an individual's morality. If a citizen does not want to help someone, then he/she should not be held liable for not doing so. Also, what if a citizen is unable to help another person who is in a dangerous situation? Then forcing him/her to help would make the situation even worse and cause more than one citizen to be in danger and in need of help. A Good Samaritan is someone who chooses to do good, not someone who is forced to perform acts of kindness. Implementing this kind of law would alter the entire meaning of the term "Good Samaritan".
Thank you for taking the time to read my point of view on this new law. As a concerned citizen, I hope you take into account my reasoning as to why this type of law should not be implemented.
Sincerely,
Alyssa Flores
