8/2/2026 Good Week. Interview Requests. Good Sunday All!
After our members were interviewed in two feature stories at the Associated Pressand The Independent, we received MANY interview requests from local media, including Arizona, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other places. See these requests on the Facebook Group. This is a good thing. The fact that older people now outnumber younger people with student loans was FINALLY reported by the Independent. It will only be matter of time until this becomes widely known. Very good. We are now 90% completed with our Gofundme. Very close. Will you please help us knock this out, or pitch something in through the normal channels? Today's Action:
Godspeed- Alan

7/31/2026 Please help with this?Everyone:
I'm glad to report that over the past 11 months, 977 people have pitched-in $26,482, which is almost exactly $2,400/month. The average donation is $27.10. So, we have Bernie beat by a dime :-) We are now 89% completed. If 200 people kicked in $20, we'd be done with this fundraiser. We have nearly 35,000 people just on this facebook group, so I truly hope that a few of you will step up, so we can take a break from fundraising for a couple of months during this critical time before the mid-terms. This has paid for this group to keep functioning (ie website, platform expense, email, subscription, phone, internet, and all other expenses to keep things running), as well as nearly my entire existence! Will you please help? Great thanks to Shannon, Patrick, Vicki, John, Steven, Chris, Ida, Valia, Ahisa, Terry, Janet, Laaiqa, Donald, Meissa, Meryl, Scott, Angela, Marjorie, Kelly, and Deborah for their contributions over the past week! Unlike all the FAKE, CORRUPTEDgroups, we don't sell our members out to the student loan industry. We don't do that and never will. So we rely 100% on modest support from our members to continue. I hope the importance of that is not lost on you. Just google this group. You can see much of what we have done over the past 2+ decades. It's pretty important that we remain in this fight. I hope you agree. I hope you will help! Have a Great Weekend- Alan Collinge 7/30/2026 Thursday Action Everyone-

We are seeing a LOT of despondent people on the group right now, folks. If this is you, please remember that 85% of ALL borrowers are losing sleep at night (IE will never be able to repay their loans) . It's not us. It's this loan scam. Don't be too hard on yourself. We're in this together...including me! Far better to take a few minutes out of each day, and help us fight. You'll feel better, and it will help! I promise you that! Sincerely, Alan 7/29/2026 Wednesday Action! Everyone-

We had a good week! See yesterday's livestream. We're featured in several major media outlets this week, including the Associated Press, the Independent, and other places. We have 3-4 new interview requests for people from Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and other places! We have to build on this momentum...our student loans depend on it- Things are worse for student loan borrowers right not more than ever, if you haven't noticed! We need your help more than ever. We are fighting our asses off on this end to very good effect, but we simply cannot do it without you. We're adding hundreds of members every day at the Facebook Group. Strength in numbers. We are REALLY needing to knock out our Gofundme. We 're 87% of the way there...Will you please help? Thanks to Judy, Linn, Bobby, Laura, Kelly, Chris, Pamela, Jaye, Dayami, Lois, and Crystal for pitching in since Monday. Please join them and make this easier on us? Thanks, also, to everyone who stepped up to be interviewed for those feature articles by the Associated Press, the Independent, and the others. Please step up. Please AT LEAST get into the habit of doing these quickly daily actions. These, alone, will move mountains for us WHEN YOU DO THEM! WE NEED YOU IN THIS FIGHT. A LOT DEPENDS ON IT. Have a GREAT WEEK- -Alan Everyone-
We are featured, again, today in the mainstream media (the Independent). They FINALLY, AFTER 6 YEARS, broke the news that older borrowers now outnumber younger borrowers with student loans! This should have been the headline- Not super thrilled with the piece (they try to make our members look bad, frankly, by publishing opinions from people who get their paychecks from colleges and blame the borrowers for their predicaments), but I think/hope most people will see through that. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO STEPPED UP TO BE INTERVIEWED! Today's action:

I'm glad to report that we are featured in a lead story by the Associated Press yesterday. 3 of our members were featured, and compared to other recent media on student loans, this was a VERY GOOD piece for us. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to be interviewed- Surprisingly, there were very few "hater" comments below the article compared to others. Please leave your own comment below the article. Help us shut the bad guys down! Today's Action:
This stretch we are in is the most important of the year, folks. The mid-terms are coming, and if we're going to get the Republicans to do something, we have to be on MAXIMUM EFFORT right now, and for the next month or two- Fighting with us will make you feel better. -Alan 7/18/2026 Saturday Action Hi Everyone!
We are extremely busy right now. We have more interview requests for people on the Facebook Group. We're expecting a number of articles, both local and national, to come to press very soon. We're also writing an article to be published at an influential place. We're meeting with members of Congress on a daily basis. Today's action:
👉👉 I really have to ask you all to please donate to our Gofundme or through the normal channels at this time. We are way behind for the week. Needing to raise $340 for this week. Yikes. GREAT THANKS to Greg, Kathleen, Rick, Pamela, Amber, Mark, Candis, Devon, Dayami, and Sean over the past week or so-Please Help? We're in a great position right now. Our group is growing very quickly. The Republicans know they need to do something. The media is (hopefully) coming around. BUT WE HAVE TO FIGHT, OR WE WON'T LIKE THE RESULTS! -Alan 7/12/2026 Important. Good Sunday, All:
If you do nothing else this weekend to fight for SLJ, please will you at least REPOST THIS? I spent $75 (which I really don't have) to boost this post. It is THAT IMPORTANT! The FAKE, MAGA accounts on X are just poison to our cause. We're going all in on this. PLEASE HELP.
The battle is truly raging, folks. Our opposition is weakening and they know it. So they're fighting harder. We have to shut them down. Please help- Alan Collinge 7/10/2026 Friday Action.Everyone!
We really need to knock out this Gofundme. We're close. It's rough on this end right now. Making a contribution there, or through the normal channels is very much needed at this time! We need to raise $340 by the end of the weekend. Will you please help!? We could have this entire thing knocked out today if you did, and we'd be able to focus on the fight for the next two months-
THIS IS YOUR BATTLE!! -Alan |
