It's Saturday, and we're hoping to raise the $700 we'll need for this coming week through our Gofundme, or the normal channels. Will you please help? If everyone reading this chipped in even moderately, we'd be done fundraising through August! Today's Action
This coming week, we're going to ask everyone to get us into a meeting with their House Representative. Will you PLEASE make a commitment to yourself and to this movement to make that happen for us in your Congressional district? We can do all the talking if necessary. But this will start with you. This is the battle, folks. Truly. Sincerely, Alan 5/7/2026 Thursday Action!Hey Everyone!
We are now almost 70% completed on our Gofundme. Will you please pitch-in to this or through the normal channels, so that we can knock this out and be done with it? If 400 people contribute $25, we'll be done and be able to focus on the fight through August. PLEASE make this fundraising easier on us?! Great thanks to all who have helped to this point. I hope you will join them, or consider re-upping your support- Today's action:
This battle gets MUCH easier when you help! Regards, Alan Hey Everyone:
We just published this report, showing that older people now greatly outnumber younger people with student loans. Will you please share it broadly? The public is not aware of this, and unless we get the word out, we'll be mis-characterized as young, irresponsible kids. I hate that. I hope you do to! We also have an interview request from AP News. They are looking for defaulted borrowers to interview. If you are willing to be interviewed, let me knowand include a paragraph or so about your situation so I can forward it along- Today's Action:
Let's make this a strong week, folks. We have some SERIOUS momentum right now!! Best, Alan  Hey Everyone:
Older people with student loans now outnumber younger people by 4 million people. That's a lot. The media has not reported this yet. We need to push them to do that! Today's Action:
All these actions will help us tremendously, folks. Both political parties are formulating their mid-term strategies right now. We are trying hard to push the republicans to return bankruptcy rights to the loans before then. WE REALLY NEED YOU FIGHTING WITH US RIGHT NOW. Please also donate something to our Gofundme or through the normal channelsif you can. We're needing 30 people to pitch-in $20 or more this week. Please Help?! Let's make this a strong week, folks. We have some SERIOUS momentum right now!! Best, Alan 5/2/2026 Saturday Action! Happy Saturday All!
Our Facebook group is growing really quickly right now. Please join it, and follow us on X if you haven't/aren't. This really helps, and we need you there! Today's Action:
We have serious momentum going right now. We REALLY need to build on it!! Have a Great Weekend- Alan  Hey Everyone-
Today's actions is VERY important:
One of our members is featured in a recent article at Business Insider about private student loans. Thanks to Samantha for stepping up to be interviewed! Also, the Wall Street Journal is FINALLY reporting what we've been saying for years...that 70% of student loan borrowers aren't paying. It's actually 74.5%, but whatever. This forces Washington to acknowledge just how failed this loan scam now is! There is a LOT going on right now. We've moved mountains before, ladies and gentlemen. We need to move a big mountain again. FIGHT!! -Alan 4/28/2026 Important Action...GOOD NEWS! Everyone:
 Good Monday All.
This group has done very big things in the past. We need to do another very big thing. Today's action is that big thing. We're asking everyone to send a letter to your college's President. I sent a letter like the one below. Use that as a basis. Using your own words is best, but whatever works for you...the KEY is to impress upon them that they need to call publicly for bankruptcy protections. I sent my letter both as an actual, physical letter AND as an email. Do both. This one could solve this whole thing. PLEASE DO YOUR PART. *including this graphic for your state would likely be helpful. TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. BE STRONG. Godspeed- Alan ps. I am very happy to join you in any meeting that might result from your letter. I can do all the heavy lifting to show them just how severe this crisis has become and defend our position. =========== My Letter ============= Mr. President, I attended ________ from__________ to_______________ I am disgusted by the collective failure of college presidents in this country to address the unprecedented removal of constitutional bankruptcy rights from student loans. Please don’t pretend to be unaware of this shocking usurpation of the citizens' rights. We both know that all college heads- including you- are very aware of it. You may NOT be aware that uniform bankruptcy rights were called for in the Constitution (ahead of every right in the Bill of Rights) as a direct result of a debtor’s rebellion that happened shortly after The Revolutionary War, but it’s true. Today, 37 of the 43 million federal student loan borrowers are hopelessly underwater on their predatory college debt- It has become a destabilizing, national threat. I urge you strongly to publicly call for the return of standard bankruptcy rights to student loans, and also call for the wealthiest colleges in the nation (whose cumulative endowments now approach $1 Trillion in value) pay at least half the cost of the $6 billion/year in discharges that will result. This is the solution that will be most beneficial, and least costly to all parties involved. It is a very small price to pay considering the alternatives, which could well involve the evaporation of federal loan support for all the colleges, civil unrest, and other horribles one might imagine when the pitchforks and the torches come out. These have actually already begun, See the story of Justin Mohn, or the Nelson family of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for two recent examples. Like it or not, fair or unfair, the citizens’ rage against this national threatening loan scam will be increasingly turned against the colleges who have profited so immensely from it. I know this is the least-cost, most stabilizing solution available. I also see the coming storm. I strongly urge you to take this very good advice. Former Harvard president Larry Summers has recently called for the return of bankruptcy rights to the loans. You need to make a similar call while in office, not after you leave. I consider this letter confidential. Come July, if I hear nothing from you and you take no noticeable, public action toward the end I suggest, I will reconsider that status. I hope to hear from you in a good-faithed, constructive way. I am at your beck and call should you wish to have a dialogue about this urgent matter. Godspeed- ==================================================== |
