Folks- Today, we continue to push both President Biden, and also conservatives. Please take 30 seconds for these two quick actions: Retweet this to President and Jill Biden. Retweet this to a few conservatives. On the second item, key people to call out are the governors of Georgia, Florida, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, and also media in those states. But don't be limited to these. Be creative! Strength in Numbers. Also, I'm glad to report that we were featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution recently. I am only seeing this today! Thanks to everyone who stepped up to be interviewed for this article. This really helps us. We should be doing similar things everywhere across the country! Things are happening fast right now, folks. What we do right now really counts! Regards, Alan

Good Morning,
We need to grow the petition. We have a million signatures, but we could and should have tens of millions. If you know 10 people with student loans, 8 were never going to be able to repay, and would sign if they knew about it! Please do these two easy actions today: 1. Retweet This to President and Jill Biden. 2. Email at least two people you know with student loans. Ask them to sign. Change.Org/CancelStudentLoans. We need you on this. A little more than your signature is required to get student loans cancelled for the good of the nation. Please step up. ALL TOGETHER NOW! Alan Collinge Good Morning-
Today will you please do this one simple action? Email news organizations in your state. Use this email contact list. Say something like this: ------------------------ Will you please report on one or both of these stories? 1. Student loan debt in over a third of U.S. States exceeds the total state budget. This has been reported on nationally. 2. Older student loan borrowers outnumber younger borrowers, and they owe far more. Also, please report on this petition. It now has over 1 million signatures. ---------------------- We have a huge muscle to flex to get these loans cancelled, but that only counts if you flex it! Regards, Alan ps. Join us on Facebook!, and join your state chapter. Good Monday All-
The petition is at 1 million signatures. Can we get to ten million? Will you please email 2-3 people you know today with student loans, and tell them about the petition? Also retweet this. We're coming after the US Chamber of Commerce hard today. This will help. Remember: If you know 5 people with student loans, 4 of them were probably never going to be able to repay their loans, even before the pandemic. They need to know about this petition. You need to tell them! These are you loans, this is your problem. If you really want to free the country- and yourself- of this debilitating debt once and for all, you have to step up. Treat this as if your loans depend on it...THEY DO! We've gotten this far. Now is not the time to sit back, and expect the people in Washington DC to do the right thing. We are making history, here, but we all, individually, have to go a little further. We have to MAKE IT HAPPEN! Let's make this our strongest week yet! Regards, Alan Collinge 6/26/2021 Donation Challenge, Public CommentsHey All- We're needing to raise about $360 in the next 4 days. Will you please step up and help with this? http://www.studentloanjustice.org/donate.html Thanks to everyone who has been stepping up lately. Will you please join them in making this fundraising a bit easier on us? Public Comment Action: For the next 5 days, the Department of Education is asking for public comments about the student loan program. Will you please send in a comment? Please make these two points: 1. The President can and must cancel all federally owned student loans 2. The President can and must order the Department to stop opposing student loan borrowers in bankruptcy court. We have over a million people now, folks. That is more than enough to solve this problem and get these loans gone, but it will only happen when EVERYONE does the small things necessary. Think about that. -Alan 6/25/2021 June 25th, 2021Hi All-

This is where the sausage is made, folks. Your voice is very important right now. Also, retweet this and follow us, and also join your state chapter group. We have enough people now to get these loans cancelled and gone, but that will only happen when you step up to help! Best Regards, Alan 6/22/2021 Score!Hey All- We are featured on New Jersey Public Television this week. Very strong piece. See the 13 minute mark of the broadcast. Today, we are pushing President Biden on two fronts. Will you please take these two quick actions?:
Will you also please make it a point to get this report to news organizations in the affected states? Georgia, Florida, Texas, N/S Carolina. Missouri, and Ohio are particularly important. We are in a very critical time right now. What we all do, right now, could well determine the outcome. We have to fight. Hard. Right now. For our benefit, but also for the country, and for tens, or even hundreds of millions of people who will follow in our footsteps, Please...let's get this done. Strength in Numbers! -Alan ps. Will you please also give the petition a boost today? We are asking you all to do this in lieu of donations at this time. I hope you can appreciate that. We get a third of our signatures this way, so it does help! Hey All-
We continue to hit republican governors in key states. We continue to push Biden nationally, of course...but... this truly is where we can get these loans ACTUALLY gone most easily. Today, please retweet these two messages to Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina: First Message Second Message This is working! We've already gotten news stories done in key states like Texas, Colorado, and Ohio, and have dialogue with several Governor's offices. This is with only a few hundred people participating on a daily basis. Do more than this. We have smart people in this group. Be creative. Be clever. Make something unique happen. Remember: if we can get even ONE republican Governor to stand up, and tell President Biden "Enough. I will not have my state wrecked by this federal debt". It will start a chain reaction that will culminate in the deletion of these loans, and the end of this dangerous lending system. YOU COULD BE THE PERSON TO TIP THAT FIRST DOMINO. THINK ABOUT THAT. IS THAT NOT WORTH PUTTING A BIT OF EFFORT INTO? This is getting fun. See all the media (both local, national, and international) that we have been featured in lately. Pretty good :-). Let's see what we can do. Keep us posted on your progress. -Alan 6/14/2021 Good Article out for us. Georgia.Hey All-
A good article out for us yesterday at Business Insider. Have a look! For today's quick action, will you please retweet this, like it, follow us, and also retweet it to a few news organizations in Georgia? Also: If you happen to be a conservative, we made a special livestream for you yesterday. Please give it a look. We need you. We have a huge muscle now. We could overwhelm every legislator in Washington DC and get these loans GONE if we ALL made just a little effort. I hope you can appreciate that fact, and will try. This petition needs a bit more than just your signature to succeed. We are well on the way, but we need you. Let's make this a strong week- Alan ps. Join your state chapter group. They need you! 6/12/2021 Donating to our Non-Profit, The PetitionHey All,
First, I wanted to make you all aware that we have a non-profit fiscal sponsorship with the Backbone Campaign that you can donate to. This is for the educational activities that we engage in, like the research that we do, and spreading the word about it. Will you please make a contribution? It will help us tremendously. Donations through this are also tax deductible, so you know... The Petition: We have over a million signatures on the petition now. We could easily have 10-20 million signatures. Will you please help make this happen? 1. Retweet this in smart and creative ways. 2. If you know 5 people with student loans, 4 of them are probably in trouble. Email them, ask them to sign. 3. Give the petition a boost. We get about a third of our signatures this way... 4. Paste the link to it in 20 smart places. This is guerilla marketing at it's finest. Your efforts on this are well spent! Have a great weekend- Alan |
