2/11/2026 Wednesday Action...Hey Everyone!
Lot's happening right now. Busy week. Today's action:
Do more than just these actions. Think of something. We have smart people on this group with great ideas. Let us know what you come up with and if possible, we'll replicate it on the group. This is how we win! -Alan ********************************************* ********************************************************* [Your Name] Concerned Constituent [Your email] [Date] The Honorable [Politician’s Name] [Address] Re: Restoring Bankruptcy Protections for Student Loan Borrowers Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name], I write to you not only as a concerned constituent but as someone who has witnessed (or experienced) the devastating impact of student loan debt on clients, families, and communities. At present, borrowers who pursued higher education in good faith are denied the most fundamental consumer protection: the right to seek relief through bankruptcy when all else fails. The Founders called for this right in the Constitution, ahead of the power to raise an army and declare war. This has been stripped from student loans. This exclusion, unique to student loans, has created a generation of Americans bound to debt they cannot escape—despite working hard, contributing to society, and honoring their obligations to the best of their ability. Restoring bankruptcy protections would: - Provide a fair path forward for low-income and underemployed borrowers. - Protect public servants and nonprofit employees who relied on forgiveness programs, only to be denied. - Safeguard victims of fraudulent schools and closures. - Allow borrowers to repay what they actually borrowed, without interest charges ballooning balances beyond reason. This is not about encouraging irresponsibility. It is about ensuring fairness, restoring balance between borrower and lender, and reviving the economic promise of education. With bankruptcy protections reinstated, borrowers could once again fully participate in our economy—as homeowners, small business owners, taxpayers, and community leaders—rather than remaining trapped in perpetual debt servitude. I urge you to take up this issue and support legislation to restore bankruptcy protections for student borrowers. Doing so would correct a decades-long injustice and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to education as a ladder of opportunity, not a lifelong burden. Respectfully, [Your Name] [Concerned Constituent]
