Senator Mitch McConnell: Stop Voting Against Students in Kentucky!
Senator McConnell: Students in Kentucky can't afford more debt, and student loan interest rates have already doubled. We need you to start voting for proposals that will help students in Kentucky and the rest of America.
Please vote FOR The Keep Student Loans Affordable Act and make college more affordable for students.
Why is this important?
Senator McConnell voted against students by voting "NO" to a bill that would have stopped student loan interest rates from doubling, on July 1st, and he voted "YES" on a bill that would see interest rates skyrocket.
In the Senator's home state of Kentucky alone, 60% of students from have student debt upon completion from college; the average student loan debt is $22,270; and 123,382 students in Kentucky are Stafford Loan borrowers.
Going to college shouldn't mean a lifetime of paying off crushing loans, and students in South Carolina (and the rest of America) can't afford more debt!
