Good Afternoon!
Welcome to all the new people. Thanks for signing the petition.
I'm glad to report that we've picked up a LOT of steam on the petition calling on President Trump to cancel all federal loans by executive order. We now stand at 78,000 signatures. There is no reason we cannot get ten million, or even twenty million signers As the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress throw many trillions at Wall Street, at state governments, and corporations (at great expense to the taxpayer), our call to cancel student loans becomes far, far more attractive, particularly since it could be done at NO additional cost, and will add NOTHING to the national debt. In our many years of fighting this battle, we have NEVER been in a better position to finally get student loan justice than we are right now.
Today is critical. We need everyone's help to make this loan cancellation a reality. Will you PLEASE spend some time on these action items?
1. Get this video to President Trump.
2. Paste the link to the petition in at least 20 places where people will see it.
3. Join our twitter army and help spread the petition. Be creative and clever. By the way: This week's badge of honor goes to Kyle in Maryland. Kyle was suspended by Twitter twice for over-posting :-) Way to go Kyle!!!
4. Boost the petition. It will help!
So you know: The relief package that Congress is considering currently will do essentially nothing to solve this problem. Congress, frankly, will NEVER do anything more than nip around the edges of this. 15 years of pushing them has taught us this. I know there are other effort out there to push Congress to cancel loans. It will never happen. It just will not. Here is a live stream I did last night about all of this.
FORGET ABOUT CONGRESS. FOCUS ON THIS LIKE YOUR LOANS DEPENDED ON IT...THEY DO! THIS IS OUR SHOT. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WHAT ELSE WERE YOU GOING TO DO TODAY?! :-)
