Representative of Iowa introduced a bill to stop "automatic citizenship" through children of illegals. However, The Supreme Court will be hard to convince. They are firmly sticking to the 14 Amendment.

Because of excessive drug abuse limits on painkiller access are being established. Though worry is setting in that this may push prescription drug abusers to venture to harder drugs.

Activists and legislators are trying to push our "right to know" regarding GMO labeling on to companies whose products are genetically modified. A few states are already putting the bill into action.

To avoid activist conflict and keep consumers unaware, the ALEC is working to pass laws that make reporting factory farm abuse and act of terrorism. ...This law has actually passed in some states and I am amazed.

Different states throughout the U.S. don't quite have a grasp on the definition of "rape." Certain actions on victims are being called minor sexual assaults and it doesn't seem to most of the U.S. that rape is taken seriously.

Republicans in New Hampshire proposed a bill that residents must pass a drug test before receiving welfare. The applicants themselves would have to pay 45$ for screening. Passers will get a refund and those who fail will be blocked from the service for a year.
