Cellphones should not be used when driving!!!

I totally agree with you in that the State of Texas should pass a law that would prohibit the use of cellphones while driving. I think is very irresponsible from people to be talking on their cellphones when driving. I can't believe some people even text when they are on the road!

It has been proven that using one's cellphone while driving causes a great distraction. So I agree with you in that drivers should only be allowed to use their cell phones if they use a hands free device. I also think it help reduce the number of accidents which in the first place are a caused by distracted drivers.

Hopefully the Texas Legislature will do something this, I think it would save lots of lives if a law like this would pass.

Make Higher Education Affordable!

Right now the Texas legislation is spending an important amount of this year's session time in trying to pass Voter's ID Bill...I think the Texas legislature should spend more of their time in more important issues, like creating and passing a bill that would make Higher Education more affordable for students. It is really hard to pay for college, especially at this time and with our bad economy...
I think if the legislature passed a bill where it at lower tuition fees, it would encourage more people actually try to get a degree.
I also think this bill should include a waive for college books,which are also very expensive.
It would be really nice to if we had this bill pass, it would make life way much easier than it is right now. We students would have the opportunity of focusing more on school, rather than having to work and go to school at the same time, which sometimes becomes extremely tough on us!
Just think about the benefits this legislation could bring to Texas...with more college graduates, more professionals, and more educated people....
