They are obviously in the very first stages of trying to organize around an issue that deeply affects many people in this country. Just because she doesn't have a written proposal with a budget doesn't mean they can't work towards making positive change.

Should she not reach out to people to have discourse about this just because she doesn't know all the answers yet? Childcare and it's associated costs is a huge issue and financial burden in this country that needs to be addressed and people absolutely should be trying to find effective solutions to this crisis.

I used one of those online companies that a friend here told me he used when he moved. It was like a 2 minute phone call where I basically just told the doctor I have anxiety and insomnia and he was like ok, you're approved. It was a little unsettling actually, I could tell he did not give a f at all and just wanted to be on his way.

Well our insurance rep is aware that I am currently living out of state and said it is no problem since I am here to go to school. Where it really gets complicated though, is that I'm here for grad school and realistically don't know if I will be returning to TX after I graduate. So I do want to change my residency to PA eventually, but since I just got my car registered before I moved, I figured I could wait. Then we needed new car insurance so I also just got a new car insurance policy (based in TX).

The thing I guess I wasn't clear on was whether or not getting a state ID card would impact your DL..I thought since they aren't the same thing, and since I have a PA address, I could have both. But I see now how that is incorrect.

Okay, and yeah my car is registered in TX. I had to renew it not too long before I moved. And I just got a new car insurance policy based in TX so I don't really want to have to get a new DL until my current registration expires.

Really, I just wanted to get a PA ID in the meantime to be able to get medical marijuana.

Yeah I haven't gotten a new license in a while and don't remember them taking my old one or punching a hole in it. Guess that's just the norm now. And I guess I just figured they wouldn't have you surrender your old DL for a state ID, since they're not the same thing. Thanks everyone for your responses and help though.

Well the thing is, I still have TX car insurance, at least for the next year, so I can't really change my DL until I get a new insurance plan. But I also would like to get medical marijuana here and need a state ID for that. As far as voting, I ended up doing an absentee ballot in TX this year but plan to vote in PA for future elections (I wasn't able to get registered in PA in time for this past election).
