Congress Voting to Deny Student Loans to People Convicted of Drug Offenses
A month ago the House Education Committee rolled back a punitive federal law that denies student loans and other education assistance to students convicted of drug offenses (many of them minor marijuana possession convictions). Congressman Mark Souder (R-IN) is offering an amendment on the House floor today or tomorrow that would restore the ban. It will be a close vote. Please take a minute to call your member of Congress and tell him or her to vote against the Souder Amendment. Literally every phone call will make a difference. The number and a short script are below. Please also take another minute to forward this email (or an alert of your own) to people who will take action.
TAKE ACTION NOW
1) MAKE THE CALL: Dial the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Ask for your Representative's office if you know his/her name. If you don’t, simply give the operator your address.
2) SPEAK YOUR MIND: When the receptionist in your Representative’s office answers the phone, politely say: “My name is ________ and I’d like my representative to vote against Representative Souder's Amendment which would deny educational opportunities to students with minor drug possession convictions even after they’ve paid their debt to society. Blocking access to higher education only causes more drug problems and hurts the economy. He plans to offer his amendment to the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act sometime today or tomorrow.
3) SPREAD THE WORD: Forward this message to everyone you know! Post it as a note on Facebook!!
I think it is kind of but nobody enforces that shit unless they are total d-bags. Its total bullshit and the guy trying to present it to the HOUSE AGAIN should be fucking hung for everyone to throw rocks at...What an asshole.
