• from orange Fear to blue Peace
    We need to change the airport signs from fearbased orange to blue for PEACE as the default. We are now at peace...we need to see that assurance when we travel. it is really bad psychology to stay in fearbased paradigms especially when they are not representing true status.

  • Lower interest rates for ALL college loans
    Government backed college loans of 8%? That's right. The recent congressional action to lower interest rates only applied to undergraduate Stafford Loans. Middle class graduate students are leaving college as virtual indentured servants facing the prospects of paying for college over most of their adult lives. These are government loans, and without them the middle class cannot fulfill their dreams to enter the workplace as physical therapists, lawyers, and doctors.

  • Student Loan forgiveness for those over 50 years old.
    Too many people over the age of 50 have school loans in which they cannot pay back and President O'Bama failed to include in the last round of student loan forgiveness. Too many of us, such as myself, have student loans that keep us from dealing with pressing health issues and affording basics. We tried to pay the loans back but somehow we got notified that we are "default" and if the loans keep up with their demands, I and others will not be able to ever retire because they will garnish our Social Security checks as well. I and others already live in poverty, living paycheck to paycheck.

  • Student Borrowers Against Borrower Bailouts
    We have borrowed money against our fellow citizens to pay for education, and now we wish to honor our promises to repay our debts. College educations increase graduates' lifetime incomes significantly. We have benefitted from our loans we want to repay them as promised. Our nation is already in debt and does not need to offer handouts to the well educated, nor should it encourage people to expect forgiveness for uncomfortable obligations.

  • People who take out student loans,should pay them.
    I have been receiving emails from a person,who does not think an individual should live up to his/her obligations and pay back their student loans. It is a legal transaction that has given them an education and given them an opportunity for a rewarding career. They are part of the population that owes the government over a trillion dollars. Why should this be forgiven while others have paid their student loan debt?

    I am a non traditional graduate student at Mississippi Valley State University and I think that tuition cost is a very serious issue in the state of Mississippi.

By signing this petition it will help people that are interested in futhering their education be able to afford to go back to school or remain in school.
