Move legislation
Laurie Suarez’s letter to the editor, Make a difference, offers encouragement and hope to citizens in these days of politics and elections.
By advising our government representatives, we can make a difference in the world. For example, we can ask them to pass the Reach Every Mother and Child Act.
This bipartisan legislation will work to end the preventable deaths of mothers and children in our world and make our development assistance dollars more efficient at the same time.
Sen. Marco Rubio has co-sponsored it and could probably get it moving out of committee and pass the full Senate if he hears from us. Why not be a part of saving the lives of millions in our world?
