Hi Chika!
No, you don't have to write the first draft tonight. If you are doing the letter on the fire works ban, read the article I gave you and find out what bills are still alive. Then, write down which bills you are in favor of and which ones you are opposed.

If you are writing a letter regarding furlough Fridays, use the paper I gave you today and also look at the bills listed on my blog. Write down the bills you are in favor and and the ones you are against.

Tomorrow, I will review the bills and you will begin writing your first draft.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz
