In light of President Obama's pledge to help student loan borrowers I submit the following form letter for use in contacting your own local representatives in Congress.
"Dear Senator, Congressman, Congresswoman etc.,
President Obama mentioned in his State of the Union Address that no one should have to go bankrupt to pay for an education.
Given the President's desire to help student loan borrowers I would like to know your stance on student loan borrowers' issues.
Do you support student loan forgiveness as a way to stimulate the economy? Do you support returning bankruptcy protections to all student loans - both public and private? Do you support the call to reduce the rate of interest on all student loans down to 1% - the same rate banks are allowed to borrow money at?
If you don't support any of the aforementioned proposals, just what help for over-indebted student loan borrowers do you support?
Furthermore, from what interests within the student loan industry have you accepted contributions, if at all?
I would appreciate it if you could give my inquiry its due respect and respond directly to my request - and not through the use of an assistant or intern.
Regards,
Your Name Here"
