Welfare Drug Testing - 1 views

  •  
    This site is about how some leaders feel about this new legislation on drug testing for welfare. Most leaders agree and want to incorporate it into their own state laws.
  •  
    This article describes how some legislators are trying to pass drug testing for TANF applicates. Florida has already passed the law and feel that it is unfair for taxpayers to subsidize drug addictions. I am a firm believer in this and think that it should be mandated.

Adoption Services, Gay and Lesbian Adoptions - 1 views

  •  
    In the last 10 years, it has become more acceptable and easier to adopt if you're a single man or openly gay or lesbian. Before attitudes began changing, though, that group of citizens were generally only able to adopt if they hid their sexual identity. While there are still a couple of states where it's illegal for gays or lesbians to adopt, including Florida and Virginia, most state laws now reflect the shift in social attitude and recognize an equal ability to provide a good home regardless of sexual orientation.

Drug Testing Welfare Recipients - 0 views

  •  
    A brief overview of the drug testing experiment of welfare recipient in three states and a brief reflection on history of charities and events.
  •  
    This is great idea but I have to agree that it is an invasion of privacy. Also stereotyping. If you drug test all welfare applicants then it is part of the process, just as you are drug tested for employment. I agree that many abuse the system but not because they are drug users but because they know how to get away with it.
