Don’t let the federal government tell you how your child should interact with AI. Recently, Florida parents achieved a victory with the final version of “The Big Beautiful Bill,” which did not include the proposed 10-year ban on new AI regulations or laws at the state level.  However, the same powers that wanted the 10-year ban on new AI regulations or laws at the state level are now trying to add it into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). If this provision is added in, it will be a direct violation of your ability to have a say in your children’s interaction with AI in their education. Please contact Senator Moody, Senator Scott, and your Congressman, and tell them to not include any ban on new AI regulations or laws at the state level. The contact information for Senator Moody and Senator Scott is below. The link to find out who your Congressman is can be found below as well.  Senator Moody:  (202) 224-3041 Senator Scott:  (202) 224-5274 https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative The post Federal AI Overreach Is Happening Again, Protect Florida Parents appeared first on Florida Citizens Alliance.

McLane Miles of Smiles Trailer Reveal Celebration

3 days ago

"On Tuesday, February 3, McLane Southwest marked a meaningful milestone alongside teammates, partners, and community supporters with the unveiling of four newly wrapped trailers celebrating the launch of Children’s Miracle Network’s (CMN) Miles of Smiles fundraising campaign. Each trailer features a CMN Champion, patients from Baylor Scott & White McLane Children’s Medical Center in Temple, Texas, whose courage and resilience bring this longstanding partnership to life.   The celebration brought together McLane teammates, CMN partners, McLane Children’s leaders, and the families behind these remarkable children. Together, they honored a shared commitment to supporting children’s healthcare across Central Texas and the powerful impact that comes from standing united around a common purpose.   For nearly 40 years, McLane has proudly partnered with Children’s Miracle Network to help ensure children and families have access to the care they need, close to home. Through fundraising, volunteerism, and community engagement, McLane teammates continue to support programs and services that make a difference for kids throughout the region.    Now hitting the road, the Miles of Smiles trailers, our Big Trucks with a Big Purpose, will travel across Texas, raising awareness for the lifechanging work happening every day at CMN hospitals. More than moving freight, these trailers serve as rolling reminders of compassion, community partnership, and the essential care provided at McLane Children’s.   Thank you to every McLane teammate who continues to support CMN through generosity, involvement, and advocacy. Your commitment helps deliver hope, healing, and exceptional care to children and families when they need it most. "
