10/15/2024 October 15th ACTION.Everyone:
Early voting has begun! This is our last push before the election to get one/both parties to step up. Today is critical:
Madame Vice President, It has become overwhelmingly apparent that you have no intentions of returning bankruptcy protections to student loans, or cancelling the debt by executive order. This is a huge mistake. The fact that your backers, Mary and Steven Swig, almost single handedly stopped Biden's cancellation effort last year speaks volumes. The 40 million distressed, underwater student loan borrowers feel this intuitively if not intellectually. As such, you can no longer take those voters for granted as you have. I urge you in the strongest terms to do something REAL on student loans before November 5th. Ordering the Department of Education and its contractors to stop opposing student loan borrowers in bankruptcy court is the minimum you and the President could do right now. Godspeed- ……………………………… I hope you can appreciate all of this, and how important it is that we keep fighting, especially during these difficult times. We WILL win, and We ARE making history! Don’t forget that. Alan Collinge 10/14/2024 LAST PUSH.Everyone:
Early voting has begun! This is our last push before the election to get one/both parties to step up:
We did that! But we clearly have a little further to go. See these quotes we got last week in conservative media. See also this call we got into C-SPAN and this interview we did. See this interview on Fox News. We fight. We go into the Lion's Den. Whatever it takes. Please also see this. It is a growing problem you need to be aware of. I hope you can appreciate all of this, and how important it is that we keep fighting, especially during these difficult times. We WILL win, and We ARE making history! Don’t forget that. Alan Collinge 10/12/2024 Donations NeededEveryone:
I hope you realize that it is our group and our petition...US...that started the entire debate around cancelling student loans by executive order, and US who got bankruptcy legislation (probably more important than cancellation) rolling in both the House and Senate over the past 4 years. We did that! But we have a little further to go. ➡️ Will you please donate at this time to make that a reality? If 100 people donate $10, that will keep us going for over a week. Also, a restaurant worker in Boston has put up a $50 donation challenge to you all. See these quotes we got this week in conservative media. See also this call we got into C-SPAN and this interview we did. See this interview on Fox News... We fight. We go into the Lion's Den. Whatever it takes. I hope you can appreciate all of this, and how important it is that we keep fighting, especially during these difficult times. We are making history. Sincerely, Alan Collinge 10/11/2024 More InterviewsGood Morning All-

Great Thanks to Sean, Alexia, Tenisha, Donald, Madeline, Pam, KTD, Joanna, Naida, Judy, Garrett, Sandra, Jasmah, Jeannie, Brian, Lisa, Anne Marie, Colette, and Elena for their recent donations. GREAT THANKS to everyone who has been helping us fight. You know who you are. If you haven’t been fighting with us, you should really turn over a new leaf.

We need you! -Alan 10/8/2024 Score one for the Good Guys!Hey Folks:
A very good quote for us today in this article. Please spread it around broadly! This is how we can actually (not pretend) solve the student loan problem. Please also retweet our most recent posts on X. Whatever you want to see with your student loans, none of it will happen unless we get the leverage of bankruptcy rights restored, and ALL of it will happen when we do! We can do this folks. Alan ps. Please donate if possible. We need 52 people to donate $10 or more this week. It is critical! Thanks to everyone who has been pitching in lately. We won't exist to fight and win this battle without your moderate support! 10/7/2024 Monday. BIG WEEK!!Hey Everyone!

Hope this makes sense. Fighting is fun, btw!! -Alan 10/3/2024 An Important Note. An important Action.Everyone-
We finally have a good bankruptcy bill to fight for. With only a month before the election, we need to give this bill our full attention for the next couple of days. Republicans in a House subcommittee are key for this. To that end: Will you please do this critically important action?
The two largest groups (besides ours), in fact, are either business partners with the student debt collection industry, who’ve wanted to see a mass default on student loans with bankruptcy rights remaining gone for years, or they are using their group as “hunting grounds” for defaulted and distressed borrowers, who they make money from by selling them into loan rehabilitation, loan consolidation, or other processes (like the “Fresh Start” Program or SAVE Plan), even though they know that the outcomes of these programs for the very large majority of borrowers are horrible. Both of these groups have been tellingly silent on returning bankruptcy rights for many years, and viciously opposed it (both publicly, and behind the scenes) at critical times. They are not what they appear. They are what’s called “Astroturf”, despite all their pleasant sounding words. The LAST thing they want is to actually solve this problem. That would kill their whole deal. They have caused massive damage to you and your livelihood, and I cannot understate that. All their work is now coming to fruition as we plunge forward, defaults soar, bankruptcy rights remain gone, and the collection industry/Department of Education gets back to business as usual. We’ve tried to warn people about them- again and again- over the years, but word obviously didn’t get out enough, and they’ve persisted. I’ve hoped/trusted that their members would spot their corruption, and they would fall of their own weight. Some did, to be sure, but not most. Not enough. People need to wake up to these dark forces. I write this note because both of these groups are poised for massive growth as we go forward. They will surely see greatly increased influxes of funding, and inject even more distractive noise into the student loan space. We’ve never done, and will never do deals with the bad guys. The ONLY way we get the funding we need is through donations from normal people, as you well know. Our group has never been, and will never be corrupted. No matter what the cost, and it has been great to this point. FULL STOP. I hope that you recognize and appreciate the importance and value in this fact. If you care about actually getting your loans solved, integrity is really the only thing that matters. I TRULY HOPE you will stick with us through the dark days ahead and spread the word, both about us, and about the corrupted groups poised to dominate this landscape. We are it, and we all have a lot riding on it. God Speed, Alan |
