I hope we can get more support to pass H.R.4170

This is really important to me and many of us here. This is E-mail I received from them. They have a website too. Thank you for your support.


As you know, over 523,000 people have now signed the petition in favor of H.R. 4170, The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012. This kind of response is a truly amazing start to what's certain to be a long, hard fight to restore sanity to the student lending system.

But, the hard work of convincing your friends and family, as well as your representatives in Washington, D.C., to support the bill, starts now!

To that end, the incredible team of volunteers at ForgiveStudentLoanDebt.com have put together a terrific resource package with all the instructions you'll need to get involved in this fight NOW.

Therefore, upon receipt of this message, please click here to download and print-out the H.R. 4170 Campaign Resource Package and start getting to work!

The only way H.R. 4170 is ever going to pass is with massive and constant public pressure on our elected representatives in Washington. Without everyone's active participation in this campaign, we all might as well just give up now and resign ourselves to a lifetime of indentured servitude because of our student loan debts.

I refuse to give up and I hope you do, too! Together, we will win the battle to restore sanity to the way in which we pay for higher education in America. That effort starts NOW!

Thank you for your time and for your continued support!
