  • Student Loan Forgiveness
    Student loans exceed credit card debt in America. Help make education affordable for all. Teachers especially are under paid; yet they have excessive student loans to re-pay. The Federal Government should forgive the loans of all educators and any employee who works as a public servant. This includes policemen, firefighters and health care workers.

  • Give Youth a Voice
    Inspire our youth to vote with underage voting power. Since teens can work, pay taxes and get a drivers license at 15 and 9 months, let's give them a voting lerners permit. In every high school students who are at least 15 and 9 months can officially vote just like an adult but their vote only counts for half a vote. Let's make voting a part of their adult life.

  • Amend Loan Forgiveness Cap in Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012
    The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170) effectively addresses many issues related to financial aid and college costs, including capping the interest rates on Federal Direct Loans at 3.4 percent, changing the term of repayment for those in the public service loan forgiveness program from 10 years to 5 years, and opening up eligibility for forgiveness for all student loan holders. This act places a cap of $45,520 on the amount of student loans eligible for forgiveness, which reasonably addresses the cost of financing an undergraduate education. Students entering the public service professions will most likely need to earn a graduate degree to qualify for an entry-level position. One possible solution to address this concern would be to increase the loan forgiveness cap for those participating in the public service loan forgiveness program to include the cost of financing a graduate education.

  • Genocide Awareness
    Why should you care? It could happen to you or your children or grandchildren if we do not educate our fellow Americans. We must be aware so that we can do all we can to eliminate and lesson gencocide worldwide. We can only hold it back from our shores for so long.

  • "Return Prayer to Schools"
    Since we were "tricked" into taking God out of our schools nearly fifty years ago our schools have deteriorated to standards of low academic performance, high crime rates, and some areas report that only half of our students are graduating from high school. All of this while we know that education is the foundation of our American society. Is it a coincidence that our education system is steadily crumbling while we refuse to return to where we went astray? I don't think so! America, it is time to get Humble and be Courageous! Let's Return Prayer to our Schools! What do we have to loose? Or, should I say, "What else can we afford to loose"?

  • MSAD 71 School Board: Keep Amy Finnen
    We believe that there must be a creative solution to the budget cuts, other than cutting highly skilled and well loved teachers. We feel that Ms. Amy Finnen is an outstanding teacher and seniority should not come before the best interest of our children. We support Ms. Finnen keeping her job as a Williams Cone teacher and feel you should reconsider that proposal.

  • No Bullying in the Schoolhouse
    Bullying is used by school administrators to harrass teachers to "go somewhere else." It is not an issue of "improving teacher quality" but an issue of power. Many targets are quality teachers who are admired by colleagues and students. Bullying of adults causes the same psychological stresses as it does for students who are bullied; teachers cannot teach their best when they are being bullied. Bullying adults is not a good model for students; student learning is degraded. If we are to eliminate student bullying, adult bullying needs to stop first.
