Everyone-
Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the race. We got to know Bernie and his campaign well over the past year here in Iowa, and also in Washington DC. Here is a video that we made for them a year or so ago which got millions of views. Sorry he is out. Just him being there helped our struggle. But...it is what it is.
So that leaves us.
To be frank, both Bernie- and Elizabeth Warren's loan cancellation plans were...well...problematic! They would have never passed Congress to raise taxes as proposed, and whatever they would have gotten through would have been dumbed-down down during the legislative process. The Department of Education would have found a way to further wreck the cancellation/forgiveness plans that Congress would have given them. So...don't feel too bad if you are a big Bernie Supporter. We have a FAR BETTER solution. I will be doing a live stream about all of this tonight if you are interested.
This makes our petition ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT. It now stands at 211,000 signatures. The next round of stimulus measures are being discussed in Washington as we speak. Time is of the essence.
Remember: 80% of the 55 million borrowers and cosigners in the county will NEVER be able to repay their student loans, according to the recently resigned Chief Operating Officer of the federal loan program. That is 44 million people. They should ALL be on this petition!
Will you please spend some time on this problem today? Your problem?
1. Boost the petition.
2. Retweet this
3. Post this link in at least 25 places where it will be seen.
4. Get This Video to the President.
Don't be limited to these. Contact a reporter or news organization that you like, tweet to a celebrity, politician, or other influential person. Whatever you can think of to get this petition seen by more people is what needs to happen. Be creative. Be clever.
Badges of Honor: Kyle in Maryland , Cindy in Arizona, and Meghan in Massachusetts were suspended from posting too much on Twitter (Kyle), and Facebook (Cindy and Meghan) WE LOVE THIS :-)
We stand at the ready to make and defend this argument with even the most hostile news organizations. We are ready to convince anyone and everyone that this cancelling student loans is absolutely the right thing to do, the cheapest way to stimulate the economy, and really the only good choice that the President can make. It is time for this oppressive weight to be lifted off the back of the country.
SO HELP US! These are Your loans. Your problem. Your burden. Be proud to be fighting this fight! Your country actually needs you on this, as unlikely as that may sound. The Founders are looking down, rooting for you! Let's not let them down.
IS THIS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT?!
Best Regards,
Alan
