The increase in tuition for state and public UCs has increased to a point where you are denying the middle class from getting a college education. Look for other areas to make budget cuts, but no more to education. California cannot thrive in the future if there is no middle class.

All New Jersey children deserve a quality education provided for by the State of New Jersey. Allowing a voucher program will limit the number of New Jersey students that will be given an opportunity to 'live the life they imagine'.

The number one problem people face is not having a job. All effort must be placed in job creation. People are losing their homes and this is hurting children and families. Also, people who are trying to help others are being attacked by some in the press, some politicians and some corporate leaders. Please show your support for teachers as they try their best to educate our future- the children. Thank you for your support of workers and teachers.

Two year colleges should be protected by constitutional mandate, just as K-12. Currently there is no mandate to fund them at an existence level. They must grovel for every dime, even though they have a faster and more efficient turn around to prepare their students for gainful employment and become tax payers. The cut backs over the last three years set their ability to provide adequate classes back 20 years. Student tuition has increased well over 20% during this time!

Today you can get a loan to buy a used car for less than 3%, but current and recent Alaska Student Loan Corporation loan rates range from roughly 6.25% to 9%. Please support House Bill 272 to reduce the principal of your Alaska student loan annually by 2.5%, and help Alaskans stay in Alaska and return to Alaska. A 2.5% annual principal reduction is the equivalent of a 3% reduction in the student loan interest rate. Used cars are great, but education loans should include repayment terms that attract Alaskans back to the state, and encourage them to stay. To learn more go to http://akdemocrats.org/rep_gara/.

The purpose of this petition is to ask Education Corporation of America to be more responsible with the information that they provide their students at the time that they obtain their student loans. They need to eliminate deceptive lending practices and adopt a policy that ensures that each student fully understands all student loan requirements, policies, and procedures as well as credit transferability

This is about providing for the separation of church and state as intended by the US Constitution and also saving revenue that can be used for legitimate public purposes. People should sign the petition if they believe in the above.

The Ellenville Central School District is facing deep cuts to it's budget that will affect staffing, supplies, programs, sports, clubs and much more. Funding shortfalls that originate on the Federal and State levels are the start of an avalanche effect of destruction that will mark the beginning of the end of our school district. We must let Albany know that our children are more important than politics! State budget deadlines are looming, act now!

The South Caroina Retirement System is threatened for teachers as well as other state employees. It should not be touched. Workers have invested in the system and for many, it is a lifesaver. Hence, many are counting on it to be there and why shouldn't our money be there? We already know that one can't rely on Social Security alone upon retirement. Don't let legislators squander this money away as well.

funding of public school- Charter school are going to eliminate the public school system that has made this State and Country. It benefits only its non profit owners,reduces teacher salaries that are less qualified then the public school, it filters out the bad and difficuit students, the same way the church school do. Education need three things, first more funding by the State which can only be done by taxing and elimination of the charter school, co-operation with industry,weeding out those hispanics who are not citizens and who the charter school don't take and and require spanish teacher,and more discipine. want to learn and more discipline

Every college student has a budget to succeeding in their educational goals but when the cost of fuel keeps climbing that takes a big bite out of the monies alloted to use and puts a slow down on our abilities to afford our education. The government subsidies fuel for those that truck our commodities across the nation. Why can't the government subsidise college students fuel cost with the same card that the truckers get while they are attending their semester studies. I spend $600.00 in fuel cost each semester which wouldour fuel be subsidised only while attending, spring, summer a pay for one semester class and now that I can't afford that class I am one step behind in my graduation schedule. I ask that nd fall classes and not for trips to the beach or errands, only education! You did it for the truckers so they would not band for a boycott on fuel. What if all collage students said to heck with their education and boycotted fuel cost, what would happen. I would say a lot of public and private colleges would close and the U.S. educational system for the future would also have to take a hit on hiring anyone with a timely degree. Boom there is another hit on the economy!! Help us students while we are striving to make our great country higher in the ranks of education! Give us a break on our fule costs!!
