Teenage drivers must stop texting
All Americans are concerned and saddened by the deaths of innocent children and young people at the hands of madmen who use guns to take lives. Those definitely matter and solutions need to be found.
What doesn’t seem to matter to these young people is the number of deaths caused by misuse of cellphones while driving. According to AAA, 11 teens die every day as a result of texting while driving. Further, 94 percent of teen drivers reportedly acknowledge the dangers of texting and driving but 35 percent admit to doing it anyway.
This doesn’t even mention the numbers of innocent victims killed by teenage drivers who text or misuse phones while driving.
These deaths are caused by cellphones, which need to be regulated.

Tests on mummies have shown that cannabis was actively and regularly used by the Egyptians at a time when the pyramids and Stonehenge were being constructed. The oldest known textiles, found in China, are made of cannabis fiber and date back to the end of the Ice Age.

The DEA and FDA are susceptible to corporate bribes. It’s time we go after the biggest causes of this epidemic destroying our state and families.
Karl Schmidt Worthington drug-company executives. That’s why we need to allow Medicare to negotiate better drug prices for seniors, and why that idea is part of my comprehensive plan to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
That plan would also end abusive price-gouging, require more transparency from drug companies and boost competition and innovation in the market. One news organization said it “combines every policy idea drug lobbyists hate,” and that’s something I’m proud of.
The purpose of prescription drugs is to allow Ohioans to live longer, healthier lives; not to pad the profits of Big Pharma. Hilliard
