VERY IMPORTANT: Send this message to the President today. Plz Help with this-
Good Friday All-
We're asking everyone to send a message to the President like what is below. This is our "Hail Mary" to the President before the mid-terms. When we did this in 2022, we wound up on Fox News...so you never know. PLEASE do your part and send this quick message!
👉 ALSO: I have to ask: Will you Please donate something to the cause at this time? We are urgently needing to raise $140 at this time for critical expenses by Monday. We simply cannot exist to fight this battle for you without your nominal support. Thanks to everyone who has donated in the past. We are in a very tough spot right now, and so I hope you will either re-up your support at this time, or join those who have and make a first time donation. Please don't let this group fail. Please make this easier on us, so that we can focus on this important fight. 🙏🙏
Lot's going on right now. A prominent Senator is considering our recent report showing that the Department of Education appears to be greatly under-reporting the growth of the loan portfolio. I'll keep you all posted as/if that develops.
I know a lot of people are despondent right now. I hope you will help us fight...it hugely helpful, and will make you feel better. You aren't alone. There are 37 million of us losing sleep over these predatory loans.
God Bless, and God Speed-

============== MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT ===============
https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
Say something like this:
Mr. President,
You need to return bankruptcy protections to federal student loans before the mid-terms. This is urgent.
-Scrap the "New Bankruptcy Process" initiated by your predecessor.
-Instruct your Departments of Education/Justice to stop opposing student loan borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings.
-Tell your Congress to repeal 11 USC 523(a) 8
-Call for a 0.1% endowment tax on the wealthiest colleges (with endowments exceeding $1 Billion) to cover the $6 Billion annual cost of this.
The federal student loan program is in catastrophic failure, Mr. President. 37 million citizens- 85% of all borrowers- are hopelessly underwater on their loans. 70% are either republican or independent. This includes around 14% of the adult, GOP voting base.
While none of these people want to file bankruptcy (and few ultimately will), all of them feel the predatory weight of this unconstitutional lending program on their shoulders.
You know well the importance of uniform bankruptcy rights, Mr. President. It is an essential pillar of our country. The Founders called for uniform bankruptcy laws at the front of the Constitution for a very good reason.
This is it.
This predatory, hyper-inflationary, nationally threatening loan regime is precisely what the Founders want to avoid.
You need an October Surprise Mr. President. This is it. There is no other action you can take in line with your principles that will bring more votes your way. 70% of Massie's constituents are strongly for this. So is Ron DeSantis, and more prominent conservatives than I can mention here.
If you fail to act, the GOP will, frankly, be annihilated.
Please do the right thing. This is your legacy.
Good Luck and Godspeed-
