A nurse wants to see a bill passed that includes an increase in federal income taxes to fund it. A friend should encourage the nurse to
a. call the appropriate committee members.
b. provide information to the party secretary.
c. send a petition to the nurse's representative.
d. write a letter to the nurse's senator.
C
This answer is correct because all bills that call for increases in federal income tax must originate in the House of Representatives, and the nurse's representative could direct the petition or the nurse to the appropriate chairperson.
Committees can send forward ideas for bills, but only the House of Representatives can originate bills that call for increases in federal income tax.
The party secretary would not be the appropriate place to send this request because bills that call for increases in federal income tax must originate in the House of Representatives.
The Senate cannot originate bills that call for increases in federal income tax.
