I am writing to you as a concerned citizen to formally express my support for H.R. 79, the WHO Withdrawal Act, and to request your assistance in advancing this legislation to secure the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO).

The World Health Organization, while founded with the aim of promoting global health and coordinating responses to health emergencies, has increasingly been a source of contention due to several concerns raised by many experts and stakeholders. These concerns include, but are not limited to, questions about the WHO's effectiveness in managing global health crises, its adherence to principles of transparency, and its impact on national sovereignty.

H.R. 79 seeks to address these concerns by proposing the withdrawal of the United States from the WHO, thereby allowing our country to take a more independent and tailored approach to managing its health policies and international health engagements. This measure is proposed with the intent to ensure that health decisions affecting American citizens are made with the utmost consideration of national interests and public welfare.

Key reasons for my support for H.R. 79 include:

1. National Sovereignty: The WHO's policies and recommendations sometimes conflict with the best interests of the United States. Withdrawing would allow for the prioritization of national interests in health policy decisions.

2. Accountability and Transparency: There have been multiple instances where the WHO's actions or lack thereof have raised concerns about its effectiveness and transparency. An independent approach could lead to more accountable and transparent health measures.

3. Tailored Health Policies: The U.S. can create and implement health policies that are better suited to its unique needs and challenges without being constrained by international frameworks that may not always align with domestic priorities.

4. Resource Allocation: By withdrawing, the U.S. can reallocate resources to domestic health initiatives and alternative international partnerships that may offer more direct benefits and efficiencies.

In light of these considerations, I urge you to support H.R. 79 and advocate for its passage in Congress. I believe this step is crucial for ensuring that our nation's health policies are shaped by our specific needs and priorities rather than those of an international body.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your positive response and action regarding the WHO Withdrawal Act.
