you will imagine you are going to make a visit to your representative in Congress. There are two parts to this assignment.

Address the following topics:

• Develop a one-page document that supports your position on the AHCA that you would leave with your representative or his or her aide when you make your visit.
  • This one-pager, also called a “leave behind,” should state your position clearly in bullet points and give your reasons why your position is preferred.
  • This “leave behind” should have 1 inch margins and utilize 14-point font throughout.
  • If you were making this visit in person, you would present your “leave behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit.
  • Include a second page that describes your rationale for the position in your “leave behind” page supported by at least two journal articles.
• Write a two-page brief to describe the scenario surrounding your legislative visit. Understanding the political affiliation of your representative, include answers to the following:
  • Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
  • State three points that you would cover in support or opposition to your representative’s position.
  • How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?
