Counting on you- Alan 8/30/2024 Score!Hey Folks!
Couple of good (if somewhat misquoted) quotes for us today in this article at The Hill. We’re expecting quite a few more of these in the coming weeks, but we need way more! Anything you can do to make interviews happen for us is greatly appreciated. Will you please donate something at this time? I don’t like leading with this, but the month is almost over, and we are now quite behind on funding for bills coming up the first of next month. We can fight- and win- this battle on very little, but we cannot do it on nothing. Please Help?. Great Thanks to Stephanie, Khadijah, Kathryn, Rosalyn, Lisa, Roslyn, Scott, John, Fred, Yolanda, Jerome, Cynthia, Peter, Jasmah, Bri, Brittany, Sharon, Emily, Paula, Fabio, Carrie, Patty, Misty, Susan and Paul for their contributions over the past week!! Today's Action:
Very tough road ahead for us. Kamala has said nothing about student loans, her backers killed loan cancellation, and the DNC has taken the return of bankruptcy rights out of their platform! The Republicans continue to battle us on all fronts, with another unfavorable Supreme Court ruling yesterday. To be blunt, we need to push harder than we ever have. Today, we’re asking everyone do this: Check out this live, national two-hour radio interview with George Noory from Monday. Also, see our own Lisa Ansell tear it up in this one-hour interview on the Todd Sachs Show yesterday! We both went into the Lion’s Den, which is critical. We are doing a lot of interviews lately. This is the real battle, folks. Only we are fighting it, and it is going to be very brutal going forward.. Please do your part. WE NEED YOU! Still really counting on you- Alan 8/29/2024 Another Bad SCOTUS RulingFolks:

We both went into the Lion’s Den, which is critical. We are doing a lot of interviews lately. I’m expecting 4-5 media pieces to come out in the next week or two. Of course, anything you can do to convince a news org you like to cover this issue, we are ready to do interviews, send them people to interview to put a face to this problem, etc. This is the real battle, folks. Only we are fighting it, and it is going to be very brutal going forward.. Please do your part. WE NEED YOU! Really counting on you- Alan 8/28/2024 Special Action, Coast to Coast AMFolks:
Check us out in this two-hour, live national interview with George Noory. Good Interview! Today, we ask you this:
Really counting on you- Alan 8/17/2024 Interview RequestHey Everyone-
We’re down to $120 left to raise for this month’s expenses! Will you please help us knock it out so we can focus on the fight? If 12 people donated $10, that would do it! Today's action is extremely important:
-Alan 8/16/2024 Pushing Biden. IMPORTANT!Everyone! This one is important. We need you on this.
-Alan ps. Please donate to SLJ if you can. Everything helps. 8/15/2024 Pushing the President HARD IMPORTANTHey Everyone!
We're pushing the President hard this week to cancel student loans and return bankruptcy rights before he leaves office. The last time we did this, we wound up on Fox News, Newsweek and dozens of other shows, and leading Senators like Elizabeth Warren made it a real issue in the 2020 campaign. Let's do it again!
This is our time. This is your chance to really make a difference! Please do your part. It will help. LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT: Mr. President, I request urgently that, before you leave the White House, you take two executive actions: 1. Scrap the "new bankruptcy process" for student loan, stop opposing student loan borrowers in bankruptcy court. Call on Congress to repeal 11 USC 523a(8). 2. Cancel federal student loans immediately, using HEA 1082 a(6). This is your legacy, Mr President. The federal student loan program, as you should know, is failed. You promised both bankruptcy and cancellation in 2020. Up to this point you have not done that, and the large majority of all borrowers are unable to even pay on their loans. We are seeing a spike in suicides, gruesome violent crimes, and many other terrible outcomes related to this unconstitutional, weaponized, predatory debt, and it is time to address it meaningfully, before things go really bad at the end of the Summer, when the collection companies will be unleashed on the country. Lending systems fail from time to time, as you know. You should be honest and acknowledge that fact for federal student loans, deliver to the people what you promised, and lay the groundwork for the next President to replace this failed, nationally threatening loan scam- and it is a scam- with something that is rationally priced, and doesn't financially ruin the large majority of people who try to use it. I have zero confidence that your successor- whoever that may be- will do these things as President, so it is up to you. You have all the power needed to do this today. We're counting on you to be a decent man, a man of your word, and to do the right thing. Great Presidents do great, bold things. Godspeed- Ladies and Gentlemen-
The last time we did a group email to the President, we wound up on Fox News. We’re doing it again this week.

Hitting it Hard Today!Hey Everyone-
Today’s action: Retweet this, this, and this. We have 2 months to make sure every student loan borrower in the country knows about our presidential campaign. I hope you get that this is the best way to put pressure on both parties to do something real…hopefully before the election! If you could also donate something to it at this time, it would be very helpful. For SLJ, we critically need donations at this time to cover our monthly expenses. We need 42 people to donate $20, or 20 people to donate $42 to make it through this month. We don’t need much to fight and win this battle, but we cannot continue on nothing. Will you help? http://www.studentloanjustice.org/donate.html Great Thanks to Yuki, Christopher, Martha Kelly, Doris, Byron, Donald, Susan, Sara, Alric, Haley, Meredith, Greg, Alexia, Judy, Brita, Candis, Sandra, and Naida for their recent contributions! I hope we can get both parties fighting over us in the Presidential race. We could maybe get this thing solved before the election. Just getting bankruptcy leverage returned would do it. They'd HAVE to cancel HUGE SWATHS of the debt immediately- without anyone actually having to file- when we get that leverage back. All the major banks would demand cancellation, because they don't want to see a massive wave of bankruptcies. That will crush them, because people will bring their other debts into their bankruptcy filings! I KNOW WE CAN DO IT! Best Regards, -Alan Sponsored by Alan Collinge For President |
