Hey Everyone-
Happy to report that we got a good comment in at C-SPAN's Washington Journal in a segment about "Big Government". Interestingly, they challenged one of my claims about people being arrested for student loans in Texas, and made it a point to later report that my claim was correct. Also at least one of the following callers also echoed my comment about. You can see both of these clips below:
Part 2 (C-Span confirming our claim)
This is the sort of easy action that ANYONE can and should do. It's easy, can be done every day, and it costs nothing. Also, decision makers ACTUALLY do watch this program, believe it or not!
The Petition
The petition still needs your help. Please make it a point to contact at least one reporter, or news organization and let them know about it. Tell them to interview us. I feel like we are on the cusp of another big wave here, folks. Let's make sure we catch it.
Donation Challenge from Paul
Folks, we need to raise at least $220 between now and the end of the week. We are relocating to North Carolina at month's end, and have to have it for moving expenses. To that end, Paul (a restaurant worker in Massachusetts) has put up a $50 challenge to you all. I hope you can appreciate that fact, and will take Paul up on this challenge in whole or in part.

I will leave it there for now. This is the time, folks.
