We are calling on stronger Foundation and Corporate support, funds from individuals to spark new ideas that will attract younger and larger audiences.

Goverment attempting to take money from retired educators and force current educators to lose dollars that they have been promised upon retirement.

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.

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.

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.
