It's truly sad that the students needing help will be suffering the most from this decision.

One of the biggest issues is that freight trains break the law by not yielding to passenger trains. The problem is the Department of Transportation can't enforce the law only the Department of Justice.

I looked into going from FL to NY but no one could tell me what percent of the time trains were on time or how late they usually were when I called Amtrak. I have used it years ago between central and south Florida.

We need to look at Amtrak as a service to provide citizens access to places across the country rather than a business.

A driver's license or state issued ID does not prove citizenship. They are issued to green card holders and other people who are not US citizens. These are the types of documents necessary to prove citizenship to get a passport.

This is a terrible bill. It would mean that every citizen would need their birth certificate or passport to vote. It would be election workers could be bankrupted in civil court. It is illegal under current law for anyone thatis not a citizen to vote.

This would disenfranchise many eligible voters.

Absolutely! Don't forget your family's feelings and mental health are more important than anything you own.
