The U.S. citizen’s right to vote holds powerful influence over the elected officials who set policy regarding domestic and world problems. For this Discussion, you will consider how the right to vote could help shape an international aid policy regarding the use of technology to alleviate hunger in developing nations. Your task is to write an email to your senator to suggest using foreign aid funds to provide technology to assist a developing nation where poverty and hunger are prevalent. Here are the steps you will need to perform to complete this Discussion.

• If you do not already know the name and email address of your senator, do research to find that information. Put the Senator’s name and email address at the top of your post.


• Write a message asking your Senator to help initiate foreign policy to supply technology to help address the causes of hunger in any single developing nation that you choose.


• Research hunger in the nation you choose so that you can provide your Senator with this information:
  
  
  • A brief explanation of the causes of hunger in this nation
  
  
  • A very general plan for how technology would address those causes. For example, you might suggest building a dam for irrigating crops in an arid region. Or, you might recommend the use of tractors instead of draft animals to increase the amount of land that is available for planting food crops.
  
  
  • An explanation of why you chose this nation to receive taxpayer subsidized foreign aid
  
  
  • Close with a respectful salutation
