Payback Time


As you all know, Mark Kennedy will be the Republican nominee for US Senate this fall. I just called his DC office to double check, and Kennedy did vote IN FAVOR of the recent budget reconciliation act that cut nearly $13 billion in student financial aid. His staffer said yes, that was a small part of it. Guess we know where he stands on access to higher education....

So, I want everyone to call and complain about this (do so in a considerate and respectful manner, if you can't be polite about it, please don't call). Just ask why he voted to cut entitlement programs and student aid. Simple as that. Don't mean, hostile, vituperative, or aggressive.

Before calling, emailing etc., please take a moment to rehearse your message courtesy of talking points from the Student Aid Alliance.

Contact Kennedy:

Thanks. In the comment section, please let me know if you've done this.
