Subject: Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 Hi, I signed a petition to Rep. John Kline (MN-2), The United States House of Representatives, and 2 others which says: "Total outstanding student loan debt in America is expected to exceed $1 TRILLION this year. Millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter. Support a REAL economic stimulus and jobs plan. Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170)." Will you sign this petition?

We need a "United All Nations Education Weekend Festival" to educate our youth, adults and the community at large on the multiculturalism of America. As the first and former Executive Director of Multicultural Alliance of Virginia (MAVA), a need exists for us, as a people, to come together As One instead of living as strangers. People should sign the petition because it enriches our Cultural diversity in Virginia, thereby in doing so, we will be a trendsetter in making the Educational Festival a State Law.

Bridgeport's illegally appointed Board of Education, will vote tonight to extend the contract for Paul Vallas, who is a part-time, interim Superintendent of Schools and will lock his contract in place to the cost of $500,000 plus. In addition, they will be electing a Financial Oversight Committee and agree to accept a loan from the state which will take away Bridgeport's residents democratic rights by giving the State Commissioner of Education the ability to choose our future Superintendent of Schools. Please urge our elected officials to wait 90 days until our democratically elected members of Bridgeport's next Board of Education return. Allow our LEGAL Board of Education to determine whom to choose to run Bridgeport's schools without being stuck with unsound policies.

We the people want and need our Governor and the leaders of the state's university system to lower the cost of tuition at our state colleges—so that working families can send their kids to college without taking on massive debt.

America is made up of many cultures, we need a "United All Nations Education Weekend Festival". The weekend will consists of tents representing each culture. The festival may rotate from state to state each year. A learning weekend for children, adults and the community. As the first and former Executive Director of Multicultural Alliance of Virginia (MAVA), a need exists for us, as a people, to come together As One instead of living as strangers. Cultural diversity is key in making the world a better place to live and in solving problems in our communities. Sponsors can be in the form of: Colleges, Universities, CEOs, Businesses, Cities, Organizations & non-profit organizations, churches and others.

The State Universities have won agreement from Frankfort to raise Tuition costs again! We need your help in signing the petition telling our Governor and State Legislature that we need to keep Kentucky's Education Affordable so that students so not graduate with a mountain of debt.

I am a student, just finished with a standard, science-entrenched high school career, looking towards college. My current loan interest rate is 6.8%, and expected to go much further. I am scared that one day, we will not be able to continue college educations for the masses, and the dream of the fities, to be top-dog in technology, will be gone.

I am appalled with our mayor.He is cutting so many after school programs and schools.

The governor appoints people to the Borard of Governors for Florida's state universities who are hostile to the colleges. They are trying to irrationally cut university income rather than consider value and needs of the educational system. I believe that It is the president and the faculty who know what is best for the univesity. Someimes more money not less is needed. Skimping can destroy faculty and thus the value of the education itself. Right now I believe that the cost of Florida colleges compared to others in the are country are very inexpensive and good value..

Urge Exxon-Mobil to lead the industry to forgo their tax subsidies so that they will go directly to our nation's lagging education. Their recent ads claim to support this. Prove it!

Education has become so expensive that many people are overwhelmed with interest payments alone, not to mention the principle. Students need a bailout - interest free loans. WIPE OUT THE INTERESTS ON ALL STUDENT LOANS

Allowing bankruptcy on private student loans again would be a huge boost to the economy. Most of todays students are over their heads in student loan debt. The fact the cost of college has continued to raise at an all time high, while the amount businesses are paying you to work is lower than that of the of the 80's based on growth, is actually turning kids away from college.
