The interesting article writing by Our Texas Government, talks about how students would appreciate getting more grants from their schools.due to the down turn of our economy many people have lost their jobs. Price on goods and education has been going up. It is to where that many students can not effort to go to college or universities due to the high tuitions. Now days, students have to pay for their own expenses and also school. How can a college students afford to pay for rent, books, tuitions, and other necessities? It is true that schools provide financial aid to students, but what about the ones who do not qualify for the aid? Schools should offer more grants to students and in addition they should reduce the tuition fees.
I have to say that I also agree with this bill awaiting to be passed by Texas government. because it would reduce tress for students who are struggling to pass for college on there own or with the help of there families. Not only would this bill help current students but, encourage more students to go to college and build a stronger and better Texas for the future. We all know that Texas is behind in comparison to other states on education, so why not push for this and make it a reality that we as students can benefit from and most importantly the parents of those students who have to work more then one jobs to support there kids through school.

Senate Embraces "Choose Life" License Plate
Legislation strongly supported by abortion rights opponents - authorizing customized license plates in Texas that feature the phrase "Choose Life" - was tentatively approved by the Senate Thursday. The bill by Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, was advanced on a 22-9 vote, with eight Democrats and one Republican voting no.
Carona said his main objective is to promote adoption in Texas and provide a source of funding for organizations that assist pregnant women who wish to put their babies up for adoption. "Texas has been missing an opportunity to promote awareness of adoption," Carona said, noting that 19 other states have an optional "Choose Life" license plate. Carona and his wife have adopted two children. The Texas Alliance for Life and Texas Catholic Conference are among the groups that back the bill.
In my opinion, no one in the right state of mind should like abortion. What that says, if this was an adoption issue, then the plates should have read "CHOOSE ADOPTION", which I and many other people out there would have been fine with. But if we want to talk about abortion, let's go to the source of the problem of Texas stance on sex education...The fact that Texas has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies. They need to find a better way to educate people about the issue of abortion, then why not encourage adoption. I mean for gods sake we have plenty of kids in foster care as it is.
What a waste of taxpayers resources with the route that they have chosen. The last time I checked we were a secular nation, so why is the clergy evangelists making our decisions. Since when did we give them enough power to make up our minds?! Because this is a sample of there work or rather graffiti coming out of our government.
