Dear Madam and Sirs,

I hope you vote FOR the tax bill on sodas and juices. As much as I'm against taxes in general, this one has a great purpose. Obesity is a terrific problem and most of it is caused by sugar drinks. I'm sure you and most politicians are under extreme pressure from the cola companies not to tax them. I feel that if some one is benefiting by making a decision FOR a company instead of making a decision for the overall benefit for the country then it's time to find some one they can trust.
