On democracynow.org, they discussed the student loan crisis this morning. They said that most students will graduate with $20,000 in debt from 4 years, but I'm going to be honest here, my total is probably going to be twice that.
Rev. Jessie Jackson was on talking about how we, as students and post-students, should use our energy left over from the election to march and protest.
Their other speaker, Alan Collins, began this website: http://www.studentloanjustice.org/ You can get information there and give testimony of your own issues. There's also contact information for people who should know/listen.
I think the Obama campaign needs to make good on their promises for students, community service grants, arts and humanities grants, ect. They need to do it very soon.
