Dear Congresswoman Vargas,
I am writing to you in regards of whether California should have a Good Samaritan Law. I believe we should not have a Good Samaritan Law due to society's behavior and actions today.
Whether we have the Good Samaritan Law or not, there can still be complications and they might start problems between the Samaritan and the person who got saved. For instance, If someone where to see someone drowning, and they are not someone who is certified to save them, like a lifeguard, they could get sued for some "complications" that could happen during their act of kindness. Today's society has many things to worry about already, such as jobs, school, or even taking care of children or other family members. With so many worries, to add the care of other people to the list would just add to the stress of others. Also, today's society includes violence, such as gangs or drug dealers. People today are afraid to step in to help someone who is getting harassed, not knowing if and how they will get hurt in return for their heroic act.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I hope you consider my opinion and my reasoning.
Sincerely.
Annaly Onate
