Here Are 13 Transformational Bills in Congress That Could Change America as We Know It

Than you for sharing PO1 Tony Holland that Arizona's 8th District voters aren't the only American voters who have a say in who's getting a seat in the 115th Congress. Voters in Ohio's 12th and Michigan's 13th are also tasked with filling vacancies in upcoming special elections. Also, voters from Minnesota and Mississippi will vote to fill vacant Senate seats.
The following bills have the power of enacting transformational change across the nation on issues that should concern everyone.
1. The Clean Energy for America Act: To incentivize additional renewable energy and more renewable energy jobs, potentially helping to turn Arizona into a solar power "powerhouse."
2. The Paycheck Fairness Act: To ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work. The bill already has 199 sponsors and co-sponsors and only needs 19 more supporters to have enough votes to pass the House. Will any of the candidates seeking congressional seats this year be that 200th vote?
3. The Citizen Sovereignty Act: To help reduce the influence of big money lobbyists in Washington. The bill will be introduced on April 25, the day after the April 24th special elections.
4. The Safe and Affordable Prescription Drug Importation Act: To allow Americans to purchase prescription drugs from Canada at lower rates than available in the United States and “The SPIKE Act” to prevent large spikes in the cost of currently available drugs.
5. The Save Net Neutrality Act: To return net neutrality as the law in the U.S.
6. The Fair Representation Act: To end political gerrymandering, the practice of states choosing political districts for political benefit.
7. The Student Loan Fairness Act: To allow college students to benefit from the same interest rates as big banks do.
8. The Marijuana Justice Act: To eliminate federal penalties for the possession or use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
9. The Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act: One of many bills that affect animals that almost never receive public attention, this would overrule laws in many states allowing for the killing of dogs and cats and help NGOs end the Yulin Dog Meat Festival (currently stuck in committee).
10. The PAST Act: Also stuck in Congress, this would outlaw the torture of Tennessee Walker horses, reversing a law that animal rights advocates consider to be one of the cruelest in American history.
11. The Dream Act: To cancel the removal and grant lawful permanent resident status on a conditional basis to an alien who is inadmissible or deportable.
12. The Medicare for All Act: To expand Medicare to all ages and allow every American to receive medical services from the government if they so desired.
13. The Background Check Expansion Act: To create comprehensive background checks for gun purchases.

As far as I am concerned these proposed bills are signs that when the "When the going gets weird, the weird turns pro." Hunter S Thompson may well be chuckling in his grave.
