El departamento del Choco se encuentra localizado en el noroeste del país en la costa pacifica colombiana y cuenta con costas en el océano pacifico y atlántico. Choco se caracteriza por tener ecosistema de selva humeda tropical, altos niveles de biodiversidad, variedad de animales y vegetación.

En el territorio se sitúan comunidades indígenas Emberá y los Waunan y es conocido por tener un gran número de habitantes afrocolombianos. Se identifican por ser personas alegres, descompiladas y tienen las puertas abiertas a todo el mundo.

El turismo es muy importante para la región y en especial el ecoturismo. Sobre la costa pacífica, se puede practicar surf, snorkel, buceo, se pueden observar delfines, tortugas, variedad de fauna marina y las ballenas jorobadas. Es posible ver las ballenas jorobadas desde la playa y durante el mes de julio y octubre llegan a este lugar para alimentar a sus crías.

Los turistas que estén interesados en esta zona, también pueden visitar Bahia Solano, Nuqui, el Parque nacional Utria y hospedarse en las posadas turísticas tradicionales, Ecolodge el Cantil y el Morromico.

Congressional Committees

Politics, Uncategorized,

Congress nerds: After reading articles from Politico and the American Prospect on the need for congressional committee reform, I have one question:

Why does the House Standing Committee on Energy and Commerce seem to have the same purview as the Standing Committee on Natural Resources: namely, regulating the Department of Energy?

In fact, the Committee on Energy and Commerce has jurisdiction over five Cabinet-level departments and seven independent agencies. It passes legislation regarding telecommunications, consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health, air quality and environmental health, the supply and delivery of energy, and interstate and foreign commerce. This means that Energy and Commerce has the most overbroad, but the least penetrative, of all the standing committees in the House.

If anything, it should be renamed to just the Committee on Commerce, with jurisdiction over telecommunications, consumer protection, and interstate and foreign commerce. The other jurisdictions should be resorted – air quality and the supply and delivery of energy should be sent to the Committee on Natural Resources; food and drug safety, public health and environmental health to a new Standing Committee on Health and Human Services with jurisdiction over the HHS Department.

The Standing Committee on Education and Labor should be split up to correspond more effectively to the DoE and DoL, respectively. Another new Standing Committee on Housing and Urban Development should be established for similar purposes over HUD.

Then you’ll have just as many House Standing Committees which correspond to federal departments as possible, with less overlap between committees.

If we want to strengthen the power of Congress, we need a Congress which is just as expansive and proactive as the executive branch and its agencies. I’m convinced that such an expansion is what’s missing from #HR1.

Yolanda King, granddaughter of Martin Luther King, told the March for our Lives crowd: “My grandfather had a dream that his four little children would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that enough is enough.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first House floor speech (C-SPAN)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “The truth of this shutdown is that it’s actually not about a wall, it is not about the border and it is certainly not about the well-being of everyday Americans. The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms.”
