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. 

2.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?
