Action Alert

October 26, 2005

To All Students, Parents & Higher Education Personnel,
 
Congress is poised in the next few weeks to make $17-18 Billion in cuts to your Student Loan funding and take other measures that will cost the average student borrower at least $6,000!
 
WV Citizen Action is fighting these cuts and needs your help.
 
Action Items:
 
Call WV Rep. Shelly Moore Capito and ask her to say "NO" to cuts in student loans and increases in fees. Call the capitol switchboard toll-free at 1-800-426-8073 and ask for Representative Capito’s office.
 
Forward this email to your friends, professors & family.
 
Download & Print copies of the "Don't Let Congress Cut School Loan$" poster to give to friends, pass out at events, hang in your dorm, student union ect. Get the poster & more info.
 
Ask the campus social science or political clubs to invite us in to speak.
 
Contact us to let us know that you're on board and what Ms Capito's office said. E-mail Ted Boettner at ted@wvcag.org or 1-866-WV-B-FAIR (866-982-3247) to find out more about how you can stop on this sneak attack on students and higher education.
 
Act Now! The loan you save may be your own!
