Dear Ms. Ros-Lehtinen:
I am writing to you because I want to inform you that enforcing the Good Samaritan Law will not have an outcome that is intended-- for the wellbeing of the needy.  The United States is dangerous and litigious which in turn can cause the "Good Samaritan" to be injured or sued.


The Good Samaritan Law should not be enforced in the United States becuase it is an individual's ethical beliefs to help the needy, not a law that forces them to do so.  In a case such as a child losing a large amount of blood on their leg without any parental guidance around, a citizen comes upon this and is forced to give aid becuase of the Good Samaritan Law, and wraps a belt around the childs bleeding leg.  He saves the child from dying though in the act of doing so, he left the "bandage" on too long and the child's leg had to be amputated. The infuriated parents sue the citizen and he or she is left having to pay a hefty fine and or go to court to defend his or herself for following the law. Moreover, the Good Samaritan Law puts citizens in a difficult situation which may affect them in the future.  Thus, you should not enforce the Good Samaritan Law.


Thank you Ms. Lleana Ros-Lehtinen for taking this into consideration and not enforcing the Good Samaritan Law in the United States for the given reasons.

Sincerely,




Danae Villicana
