The SLJ Nationwide Bus Tour is looking like a "Go"...
Everyone-
I'm pleased to report that we're getting a strong response to our proposal for a nationwide "Bus Tour", where we meet with current and soon-to-be members of Congress in their districts, local media, and do speaking engagements, etc.
These have proven to be effective in year's past. Our first tour resulted in the Student Loan Sunsine Act, which passed, and was Ted Kennedy's final legislative effort. Our second tour in 2018 resulted in a very good bankruptcy bill. Our "mini tour" in 2019-2020 resulted in President Biden attempting to cancel student loans by executive order. That all started with us, and our bus tours.
Now is the right time to do another one. This tour will, literally, be on a greyhound or other low-cost bus to save on gas, and staying at cheap motels/with members along the way.
What do you think?! Will you support this?
If you can help us on the ground where you live (getting us into meetings, setting up speaking events, interviews, etc), please let me know. If you will pledge to support the tour financially, let me know. Better yet, please contribute something today to make it happen. I estimate we'll need to raise about $10- $20,000 to make it happen. If we can raise $3-$4,000 in the next couple of weeks, it will give me the confidence I need to hit the road and do this!!
No one is going to fight this battle for us, folks. I hope you understand that.
We really need you to step up on this.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW-
